The paper examines strain-level microbial overlap across river, groundwater, and hyporheic zone environments, finding limited establishment of transported strains despite connectivity.

The paper shows that microbial blooms during snowmelt drive nitrogen transformations, increasing nitrogen retention through organic and inorganic pathways.

The paper investigates microbial community structure and metabolic potential along a hillslope to riparian zone transect using genome-resolved metagenomics and stable isotopes, finding distinct communities and functions across depth and landscape position.
