Lotic environments contain a disproportionate amount of biodiversity given their relatively
small proportion of the worldwide landscape. We conducted a systematic literature search of …

Beta diversity describes the variation in species composition between sites and is often
influenced by both local and regional processes. Partitioning beta diversity into turnover …

This is the first study that describes the effect of adding mitigation measures on the
freshwater biodiversity of all waterbody types in agricultural catchments. We measured …

Historically, close attention has been paid to negative impacts associated with nutrient loads
to streams and rivers, but today hydromorphological alterations are considered increasingly …

The ecological responses of aquatic macrophytes and benthic macroinvertebrates to deep-
release dams in three impounded rivers of the Henares River Basin (Central Spain) were …

Global metrics of land cover and land use provide a fundamental basis to examine the
spatial variability of human-induced impacts on freshwater ecosystems. However …

Understanding eutrophication effects on stream macrophytes is key to meaningful
environmental management and governance. However, the response of macrophyte …

A study was carried out to estimate the effect of trophic degradation on the diversity of
aquatic plants in rivers, with the application of rarefaction and extrapolation. The purpose of …

Aquatic plants are essential components in the regulation of microhabitat complexity and
physico-chemical parameters in lake ecosystems. Increased eutrophication, land use …

Functional homogenisation occurs across many areas and organism groups, thereby
seriously affecting biodiversity loss and ecosystem functioning. In this study, we examined …
