Both gradual and extreme weather changes trigger complex ecological responses in river
ecosystems. It is still unclear to what extent trend or event effects alter biodiversity and …

Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), those watercourses that periodically
cease to flow or dry, are the world's most widespread type of river ecosystem. Our …

Nonperennial streams dominate global river networks and are increasing in occurrence
across space and time. When surface flow ceases or the surface water dries, flow or …

With climate change, streams and rivers are at increased risk of droughts and flow
intermittency. The full implications of these conditions for fluvial carbon (C) processing and …

Global climate changes have increased the duration and frequency of river flow interruption,
affecting the physical and community structure of benthic biofilms. However, the dynamic …

Fungi are among the most abundant and diverse organisms on Earth and play pivotal roles
in global carbon processing, nutrient cycling and food webs. Despite their abundant and …

Microbial biodiversity is fundamental to maintain ecosystem functioning in seasonally
variable ecosystems. However, it remains unclear how alterations in water availability …

We define Dry Rivers as those whose usual habitat in space and time are dry channels
where surface water may interrupt dry conditions for hours or a few days, primarily after …

Investigating the influence of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning over environmental
gradients is needed to anticipate ecosystem responses to global change. However, our …

Droughts are recognized to impact global biogeochemical cycles. However, the implication
of desiccation on in-stream carbon (C) cycling is not well understood yet. We subjected …
