The processes and biomass that characterize any ecosystem are fundamentally constrained
by the total amount of energy that is either fixed within or delivered across its boundaries …

Extreme events are of interest worldwide given their potential for substantial impacts on
social, ecological, and technical systems. Many climate‐related extreme events are …

Temporal environmental fluctuations, such as seasonality, exert strong controls on
biodiversity. While the effects of seasonality are well known, the predictability of fluctuations …

Perturbations in ecosystems consist of a sequence of 2 events: the disturbance, marked by
the application of the disturbing forces, and the response shown by the biota to the damage …

N limitation to primary production and other ecosystem processes is widespread. To
understand the causes and distribution of N limitation, we must understand the controls of …

We propose an integrated, heuristic model of lotic biocomplexity across spatiotemporal
scales from headwaters to large rivers. This riverine ecosystem synthesis (RES) provides a …

This is the first volume of a work which aims to provide a comprehensive treatment of the
ecology of aquatic insects, and is intended for use as a textbook at the undergraduate and …

Rivers and streams that do not flow permanently (herein intermittent rivers; IR s) make up a
large proportion of the world's inland waters and are gaining widespread attention. We …

Over the last 25 y, stream ecosystem theory has expanded to include explicitly the vertical
dimension of surface–groundwater linkages via the hyporheic zone and below alluvial …

Statistical models for predicting the effects on algal biomass of eutrophication are much
better developed for lentic systems than for lotic systems, partly because of the dynamic …
