Good surface water quality is critical to human health and ecology. Land use determines the
surface water heat and material balance, which cause climate change and affect water …

Rivers suffer from multiple stressors acting simultaneously on their biota, but the
consequences are poorly quantified at the global scale. We evaluated the biological …

Understanding the relationship between land use and surface water quality is necessary for
effective water management. We estimated the impacts of catchment-wide land use on water …

Understanding how land use and land cover change influences the flow and water quality of
rivers is critically important for river management and restoration. Human activities have …

Degradation of freshwater ecosystems and the services they provide is a primary cause of
increasing water insecurity, raising the need for integrated solutions to freshwater …

The impacts of watershed urbanization on streams have been studied worldwide, but are
rare in China. We examined relationships among watershed land uses and stream …

The aim of this study was to assess the impacts of different land use practices on
physicochemical characteristics and macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups (FFGs) in …

Biodiversity and its constituted multitrophic network in rivers are accelerating change under
human land use and pollutants. However, due to the lack of complete datasets across taxa …

Landscape indicators–measures of land use and land cover–are widely used as proxies for
monitoring urban stream conditions, particularly for benthic invertebrates which are often …
