Freshwater benthic algae form complex mat matrices that can confer ecosystem benefits but
also produce harmful cyanotoxins and nuisance taste-and-odor (T&O) compounds. Despite …

Optical sensors for fluorescence of chlorophyll a (f-Chl a) and phycocyanin (f-PC) are
increasingly used as a proxy for biomass of algae and cyanobacteria, respectively. They …

Abstract Changes in land-uses and cover are strong drivers of stream degradation
worldwide. In Mediterranean ecoregions, land conversion from forest with native species to …

Boreal forests account for 30% of the world's total forest cover and in many places are
subject to intensive forest management, which often involves complete removal of overstory …

Wildfire has become increasingly common and severe across forested landscapes. Shortly
after wildfire, loss of riparian cover along streams and subsequent increases in light can …

Instrumented buoys are used to monitor water quality, yet there remains a need to evaluate
whether in vivo fluorometric measures of chlorophyll a (Chl a) produce accurate estimates of …

When artificial lighting systems are installed in show caves, alien photosynthetic epilithic
prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms—the so-called 'lampenflora'—form extended …

Fluoroprobes, such as BenthoTorch, offer a relatively rapid in situ method for monitoring
benthic algae, provide new opportunities for aquatic ecological research, and enable early …

Understanding the factors that drive spatial patterns in stream ecosystem processes and the
distribution of aquatic biota is important to effective management of these systems and the …

Ecosystems are increasingly challenged by the multiple facets of climate change, coupled
with intensifying land‐use pressures. These co‐occurring stressors can interact in complex …
