Evaluating stream water chemistry patterns provides insight into catchment ecosystem and hydrologic processes. Spatially distributed patterns and controls of stream solutes are well-established for high-relief catchments where solute flow paths align with surface topography. However, the controls on solute patterns are poorly constrained for low-relief catchments where hydrogeologic heterogeneities and river corridor features, like wetlands, may influence water and solute transport. Here, we provide a data set of solute patterns from 58 synoptic surveys across 28 sites and over 32 months in a low-relief wetland-rich catchment to determine the major surface and subsurface controls along with wetland influence across the catchment. In this low-relief catchment, the expected wetland storage, processing, and transport of solutes is only apparent in solute patterns of the smallest subcatchments. Meanwhile, downstream seasonal and wetland influence on observed chemistry can be masked by large groundwater contributions to the main stream channel. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating variable groundwater contributions into catchment-scale studies for low-relief catchments, and that understanding the overall influence of wetlands on stream chemistry requires sampling across various spatial and temporal scales. Therefore, in low-relief wetland-rich catchments, given the mosaic of above and below ground controls on stream solutes, modeling efforts may need to include both surface and subsurface hydrological data and processes.
