Spatio-temporal dynamics of environmental variables, stressors and their interactions on the in-stream- and catchment scale (A14)

• Subject Area: Hydrogeology, Hydrology, Limnology, Urban Water Management, Water Chemistry, Integrated Water Resources Management
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 426547801

A14 will address the spatio-temporal dynamics of in-stream environmental variables following an asymmetric function to catchment management with a focus on in-stream temperature, dissolved oxygen, nitrogen components and salinity. This will be accomplished through field surveys, data analyses and improving the simulation of the ecohydrological and physicochemical environmental variables in the catchment model SWAT+.
