• N processing within geomorphic structures in urban streams (2005, background): “The ability of stream ecosystems to convert inorganic N into organic forms or N2 is an important function (Burns 1998, Alexander et al. 2000, Peterson et al. 2001, Wollheim et al. 2001, Bernhardt et al. 2002).”
• The Role of Headwater Streams in Downstream Water Quality (2007, background): “Excess nitrogen has been linked to many environmental concerns, including the disruption of forest ecosystem processes (Aber et al., 2003), acidification of lakes and streams (Driscoll et al., 2001), and degradation of coastal waters including high profile water quality issues such as…”
• Denitrification across landscapes and waterscapes: a synthesis. (2006, methodology): “For example, in the SPARROW model, the fraction of N removed is described as a firstorder rate process whereby N loss varies inversely with stream channel depth (Smith et al. 1997, Alexander et al. 2000).”
• Can't See the Forest for the Stream? In-stream Processing and Terrestrial Nitrogen Exports (2005, background): “In-stream processing of NO3 –, although of demonstrated importance in regulating watershed NO3 – export (Alexander et al. 2000, Peterson et al. 2001), has not been included in current attempts to explain the regional decline in streamwater NO3 – concentrations across New Hampshire.”
• Contributions of microbial biofilms to ecosystem processes in stream mesocosms (2003, background): “Thus, biofilms are highly efficient and successful ecological communities that may also contribute to the influence that headwater streams have on rivers, estuaries and even ocean”
• Ecological stoichiometry in freshwater benthic systems: recent progress and perspectives (2005, background): “Alexander, Smith & Schwarz, 2000; Peterson et al., 2001) because of their high ratios of benthic surface area to water volume and their spatial dominance in the landscape (Meyer & Wallace, 2001).”
• Eutrophication: A new wine in an old bottle? (2019, background): “Differences in biogeochemical processes controlling the cycling and transfers of N and P along the land-sea continuumcan result in marked changes in nutrient stoichiometry from headwater catchments to the sea (Alexander et al., 2000).”
• Denitrification in the Upper Mississippi River: rates, controls, and contribution to nitrate flux (2004, background): “Modeling by Alexander et al. (2000) indicates that greater than 90% of Can.”
• Delivery and cycling of phosphorus in rivers: a review. (2008, neutral): “Several studies (e.g. Alexander et al., 2000; Bukaveckas et al., 2005) state that the high processing potential of lower-order streams accounts for a disproportionate fraction of nutrient uptake within river networks.”
