Temporary rivers are characterized by shifting habitats between flowing, isolated pools, and
dry phases. Despite the fact that temporary rivers are currently receiving increasing attention …

Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) encompass fluvial ecosystems that
eventually stop flowing and run dry at some point in space and time. During the dry phase …

Surface-groundwater interactions in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES),
waterways which do not flow year-round, are spatially and temporally dynamic because of …

Microplastics (MPs), as a new substrate, provide a unique niche for microbial colonization in
the freshwater ecosystems; however, the impacts of long-term MP exposure on colonized …

Terrestrial microbial communities may take advantage of running waters and runoff to enter
