As terrestrial leaf litter decomposes in rivers, its constituent elements follow multiple
pathways. Carbon leached as dissolved organic matter can be quickly taken up by …

Plant litter is the major source of energy and nutrients in stream ecosystems and its
decomposition is vital for ecosystem nutrient cycling and functioning. Invertebrates are key …

Over the past decades, three major challenges to marine life have emerged as a
consequence of anthropogenic emissions: ocean warming, acidification and oxygen loss …

Flowing waters receive substantial nutrient inputs, including both nitrogen (N) and
phosphorus (P), in many parts of the world. Eutrophication science for rivers and streams …

Over the last few decades, there has been an increasing number of controlled‐manipulative
experiments to investigate how plants and soils might respond to global change. These …

Nutrient pollution of freshwater ecosystems results in predictable increases in carbon (C)
sequestration by algae. Tests of nutrient enrichment on the fates of terrestrial organic C …

Human appropriation of water resources may induce water stress in freshwater ecosystems
when ecosystem needs are not met. Intensive abstraction and regulation cause river …

The interactive effects of multiple global change drivers on terrestrial carbon (C) storage
remain poorly understood. Here, we synthesise data from 633 published studies to show …

"… a number of chapters provide excellent summaries of the modern methods available for
studying fungal ecology, along with those more traditional methods that are still extremely …

Aim Leaf litter decomposition in freshwater ecosystems is a vital process linking ecosystem
nutrient cycling, energy transfer and trophic interactions. In comparison to terrestrial …
