This review seeks to examine connections between hydrology and biogeochemistry at the landscape scale. A review of research on landscape structure and organization provides a context for what follows, and seeks to integrate work at relevant scales in ecology and geomorphology; the degree of functional ‘connectedness’ between different landscape elements provides the key theme. Following a review of hillslope hydrology, links between hillslope runoff pathways and nutrient dynamics are then considered. We focus in particular on riparian zones, where nutrient dynamics has relevance for water-quality management in catchments. In conclusion, we argue that future studies need to focus on the critical near-stream zone, given its importance in coupling hillslope and channel systems.

Key Words: flow pathways • hillslopes • leaching • landscape structure • riparian zones
