Background Trees are major components of many terrestrial ecosystems and are grown in
managed plantations and orchards to provide a variety of economically important products …

Climate change and associated changes in streamflow may alter riparian habitats
substantially in coming decades. Riparian restoration provides opportunities to respond …

Understanding the mechanisms controlling downstream water‐level variations after the
operation of the Three Gorges Dam is important for riverine flood and drought management …

We tested how sediment trap** by hydroelectric dams affects tropical estuaries by
comparing two dammed and two undammed rivers on Mexico's Pacific coast. We found that …

Riparian ecosystems fundamentally depend on groundwater, especially in dryland regions,
yet their water requirements and sources are rarely considered in water resource …

Nutrient export from agricultural landscapes is a water quality concern and the cause of
mitigation activities worldwide. Climate change impacts hydrology and nutrient cycling by …

Transmission losses from the beds of ephemeral streams are thought to be a widespread
mechanism of groundwater recharge in arid and semi‐arid regions and support a range of …

Prolonged exposure to human induced-stressors can profoundly modify the natural
trajectory of ecosystems. Predicting how ecosystems respond under stress requires …

Managing streamflow is a widely-advocated approach to provide conditions necessary for
seed germination and seedling establishment of trees in the willow family (Salicaceae) …

Channel migration is the primary mechanism of floodplain turnover in meandering rivers and
is essential to the persistence of riparian ecosystems. Channel migration is driven by river …
