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 …

Vast global declines of freshwater and marine fish diversity and population abundance pose
serious threats to both ecosystem sustainability and human livelihoods. Environmental DNA …

Abstract As the United Nations develops a post-2020 global biodiversity framework for the
Convention on Biological Diversity, attention is focusing on how new goals and targets for …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Despite their limited spatial extent, freshwater ecosystems host remarkable biodiversity,
including one-third of all vertebrate species. This biodiversity is declining dramatically …

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 …

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 …

Lake ecosystems, and the organisms that live within them, are vulnerable to temperature
change,,,–, including the increased occurrence of thermal extremes. However, very little is …
