▪ Abstract Local habitat and biological diversity of streams and rivers are strongly influenced
by landform and land use within the surrounding valley at multiple scales. However …

Current rates of climate change are unprecedented, and biological responses to these
changes have also been rapid at the levels of ecosystems, communities, and species. Most …

Context Landscape ecologists are often interested in measuring the effects of an
environmental variable on a biological response; however, the strength and direction of …

Research on stream and river temperatures is reviewed with particular attention being given
to advances in understanding gained since 1990 and on investigations of fundamental …

The effect of topographic characteristics of land uses on stream water quality must be
addressed for a better understanding of the complex relationship between land use and …

▪ Abstract Salamanders are cryptic and, though largely unrecognized as such, extremely
abundant vertebrates in a variety of primarily forest and grassland environments, where they …

Streams, as low‐lying points in the landscape, are strongly influenced by the stormwaters,
pollutants, and warming that characterize catchment urbanization. River restoration projects …

Watershed land cover is widely used as a predictor of stream‐ecosystem condition.
However, numerous spatial factors can confound the interpretation of correlative analyses …

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 …

Detecting human impacts on riverine systems is challenging because of the diverse
biological, chemical, hydrological and geophysical components that must be assessed. We …
