Abstract

In this study, we assessed the response of stream metabolism to storm events to better understand how hydrological disturbances affect ecosystem functioning in headwater streams. To do so, we characterized 53 individual storm events occurring between October 2018 and February 2023 in Fuirosos, a Mediterranean intermittent stream, and estimated daily gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (ER) before, during, and after each event. Our findings showed that storm events stimulated stream metabolic activity, particularly ER, indicating low resistance but fast recovery (low resilience). Larger storms produced stronger responses and longer recovery times, though always under six days.

The dataset includes all input and output files required to reproduce the figures, tables, and statistical analyses presented in the manuscript.
The dataset includes daily measurements of precipitation, stream discharge, dissolved oxygen, and water temperature, as well as the daily estimates of GPP, ER, and K600 using the streamMetabolizer package.
Additional files provide hydrological descriptors and event-specific metrics of resistance and resilience for both GPP and ER.
