Global lake responses to climate change
Climate change is one of the most severe threats to global lake ecosystems. Lake surface
conditions, such as ice cover, surface temperature, evaporation and water level, respond …

A global deal for nature: guiding principles, milestones, and targets
The Global Deal for Nature (GDN) is a time-bound, science-driven plan to save the diversity
and abundance of life on Earth. Pairing the GDN and the Paris Climate Agreement would …

Evaporative water loss of 1.42 million global lakes
The evaporative loss from global lakes (natural and artificial) is a critical component of the
terrestrial water and energy balance. However, the evaporation volume of these water …

[HTML][HTML] Threats of global warming to the world's freshwater fishes
Climate change poses a significant threat to global biodiversity, but freshwater fishes have
been largely ignored in climate change assessments. Here, we assess threats of future flow …

Bending the curve of global freshwater biodiversity loss: an emergency recovery plan
Despite their limited spatial extent, freshwater ecosystems host remarkable biodiversity,
including one-third of all vertebrate species. This biodiversity is declining dramatically …

The importance of hydrology in routing terrestrial carbon to the atmosphere via global streams and rivers
The magnitude of stream and river carbon dioxide (CO2) emission is affected by seasonal
changes in watershed biogeochemistry and hydrology. Global estimates of this flux are …

The geography of biodiversity change in marine and terrestrial assemblages
Human activities are fundamentally altering biodiversity. Projections of declines at the global
scale are contrasted by highly variable trends at local scales, suggesting that biodiversity …

Assessing placement bias of the global river gauge network
Knowing where and when rivers flow is paramount to managing freshwater ecosystems. Yet
stream gauging stations are distributed sparsely across rivers globally and may not capture …
