With the absence of closed recycling loops in streams, one mechanism for controlling nutrient and energy losses via hydrologic transport is through regulation of outflow losses by stream biota. Nutrients and energy are released at one point in a stream become available as resources (i.e. stabilized inputs) at points further down the topographic gradient. Thus, resources are successfully "spiraled" down the stream rather than "recycled" in place. ... thus, it can be hypothesized that streams are "spiralling" or cascading systems in which the retention time and efficiency of resources utilization are maximized through control by specialized functional groups down the stream continuum. 3, record 1, English, - spiral

spiraler : Proposition à partir du verbe intransitif "spiraler" défini ainsi dans le Grand Robert : 1- Prendre la forme d'une spirale. 2- En parlant d'un planeur, s'élever dans un courant d'origine thermique, en décrivant des spirales. D'autres expressions pourraient peut-être aussi être utilisées : «se déplacer spiralement"»(le long du cours d'eau), à partir de l'adverbe «spiralement» défini ainsi dans le Grand Robert : En spirale. [Ex. :] Nous descendons spiralement dans un vortex d'infamie [...]. On indique cependant que «spiralement» est rarement employé. Ou encore : Les polluants «décrivent des mouvements spiraloïdes» (le long du cours d'eau), d'après «spiraloïde», défini ainsi : En forme de spirale. [Ex. :] Mouvement spiraloïde. 2, record 1, French, - circuler%20en%20spirale
