Inhaltsangabe

Preface; Part I. Introduction: 1. The groundwater/surface water ecotone
perspective: state of the art; Part II. Function of Groundwater/Surface
Water Interfaces: 2. Ecotonal animal assemblages: their interest for
groundwater studies; 3. Stochasticity in resource utilization by a larval
chironomidae (diptera) community in the bed sediments of a gravel stream;
4. Temporal and spatial dynamics of meiofaunal assemblages in the hyporheic
interstitial of a gravel stream; 5. Interstitial fauna along an
epigean-hypogean in a Rocky Mountain river; 6. Filter effect of karstic
spring ecotones on the population structure of the hypogean amphipod
Niphargus virei; 7. Community respiration in the hyporheic zone of a
riffle-pool sequence; 8. Diversity, connectivity and variability of
littoral, surface water ecotones in three side arms of the Szigetkö region
(Danube, Hungary); 9. Seasonal dynamics and storage of particulate organic
matter within bed sediment of three streams with contrasted riparian
vegetation and morphology; 10. Bedsediments: protein and POM content
(RITRODAT-Lunz study area, Austria); 12. Surface water/groundwater/forest
alluvia ecosystems: functioning of interfaces: the case of the Rhine
floodplain in Alsace (France); 13. Modelling of hydrological processes in a
floodplain wetland; 14. Contribution to the groundwater hydrology of the
Amboseli ecosystem, Kenya; 15. The role of hydrology in defining a
groundwater ecosystem; 16. Typology of water transport and chemical
reactions in groundwater/lake ecotones; 17. Development of a water transfer
equation for a groundwater/surface water interface and use of it to
forecast floods in the Yanghe Reservoir Basin; 18. Uses and limitations of
ground penetrating RADAR in two riparian systems; Part III. Malfunction of
Groundwater/Surface Water Interfaces: Causes and Methods of Evaluation: 19.
Heterogeneity of groundwater-surface water ecotones; 20. Failure of
agricultural riparian buffers to protect surface waters from groundwater
nitrate contamination; 21. Stable nitrogen isotope traqcing of trophic
relations in good webs of river and hyporheic habityats; 22. La zone
hypodermique du sol écotone entre eaux météoriques et eaux souterraines
dans l'infiltraqtion des pesticides dissous; 23. Soils of the north-eastern
coast of the Caspian Sea as the zone of sea water/groundwater interaction;
Part IV. Management and Restoration of Groundwater/Surface Water
Interfaces: 24. Ecotones and problems of their management in irrigation
regions; 25. Hydrochemistry and ecohydrology of the transition area of the
Netherlands Delta and the Brabantse; 26. Cautious reforestation of a
wetland after clearfelling; 27. Responses of riparian ecosystems to
dewatering of the Aral Sea in the vicinity of the Tedgen and Murgab rivers;
28. Water regime management of desertificated ecotone systems in the
Amudarya delta (Aral Sea basin); Part V. Conclusion: 29. Problems and
challenges in grounewater/surface water ecotone analysis; Annex.
