drainage cessation
end-member source waters
exfiltration
flow reversal
Change in water flow direction due to uplift outpacing erosion rates
flushing
flushing behavior
Increasing concentrations with discharge, with positive b values indicating enrichment behavior
groundwater CO2 inputs
CO2 delivered to streams through groundwater discharge
hillslope-riparian gradient
Spatial gradient from hillslope to riparian zone representing changes in hydrology, geochemistry, and proximity to stream
hydrologic processes
Water movement and chemistry dynamics that maintain fen ecosystems and support specialized plant communities
inter-seasonal storage
Water storage transfer between seasons, particularly winter snow storage contributing to summer flows
interflow
Lateral movement of snowmelt downgradient through soil zone toward topographic convergent zones to form streams
kinetic fractionation
lateral flow
melt timing
mountain pass formation
Creation of low elevation corridors through mountain ridges by water erosion
post-depositional fluid flow
Movement of fluids through porous rocks after initial sediment deposition that can alter magnetic mineralogy and create secondary magnetic fabrics
pulse flow
re-inundation
spatial distribution modeling
stream flow reduction
Decrease in the total amount of water traveling down a stream, measured in L/sec
topographic focusing
Concentration of water flow toward convergent topographic zones where slopes flatten and sparse conifer forests grow
