Sediment-associated processes account for most of the spatial variation in stream ecosystem respiration in the Yakima River basin

Vanessa A. Garayburu‐Caruso, Matthew Kaufman, Brieanne Forbes, Robert O. Hall, Maggi M. Laan, Xingyuan Chen, Xinming Lin, Stephanie Fulton, Lupita Renteria, Yilin Fang, Kyongho Son, James Stegen

The paper evaluates a process-based model for predicting stream ecosystem respiration (ERtot) in the Yakima River basin and finds it fails to explain spatial variation, highlighting the importance of sediment-associated respiration and other factors.
