Droughts are expected to become more common with climate change resulting in more frequent occurrences of flow intermittency in temperate streams. As intermittency has deleterious effects on fluvial microbial biofilms, there is a need to better understand how droughts affect the microbial functioning and thereby nutrient and organic matter processing in temperate stream ecosystems. Here, the hyporheic zone is of particular importance as it has been shown to be a hot spot for biogeochemical activity under flow intermittence. This study evaluates how drought duration affects microbial biofilm dynamics in the hyporheic zone of intermittent temperate streams. To do so, we used outdoor hyporheic flumes that were subject to periods of drought ranging from 4 to 105 days. Sediment was sampled before and during the drought, and at several occasions after rewetting. Samples were analyzed for extracellular enzymatic activity, bacterial respiration, and bacterial abundances including live to dead cell ratios. The high moisture content remaining in the hyporheic zone of the flumes allowed for the sustained microbial functioning during drought, regardless of drought duration. This can be attributed to cooler temperatures in these climate zones and shading by riparian forests. The high moisture content inhibited the local habitat and community changes that the biofilm might have undergone during more severe desiccation. However, the change in the hyporheic flow regime (flow cessation and resumption) may stimulate microbial processing in these moderate drought conditions. We suggest that the hyporheic zone may act as a buffer against drought and the factors determining this buffer capacity, such as sediment characteristics and climatic regions, need to be analyzed in more detail in future.
