Non-perennial river segments—those that recurrently cease to flow or frequently dry—occur
in all river networks and are globally more abundant than perennial (always flowing) …

Inland waters serve as important hydrological connections between the terrestrial landscape
and oceans but are often overlooked in global carbon (C) budgets and Earth System …

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 …

River water quality is crucial to ecosystem health and water security, yet its deterioration
under climate change is often overlooked in climate risk assessments. Here we review how …

Global warming intensifies the hydrological cycle by altering the rate of water fluxes to and
from the terrestrial surface, resulting in an increase in extreme precipitation events and …

How does climate control river chemistry? Existing literature has examined extensively the
response of river chemistry to short‐term weather conditions from event to seasonal scales …

Rivers that do not flow year-round are the predominant type of running waters on Earth.
Despite a burgeoning literature on natural flow intermittence (NFI), knowledge about the …

Climate change is interacting with water resource pressures to alter the frequency, severity
and spatial extent of drought, which can thus no longer be considered a purely natural …

Streamflow drought is a recurring challenge, and understanding spatiotemporal patterns of
past droughts is needed to manage future water resources. We examined regional patterns …

Rivers are efficient corridors for aquatic animals, primarily under the assumption of perennial
flow. However, the recognition that river drying is a common and widespread phenomenon …
