Excessive riverine nutrient concentrations threaten aquatic ecosystem structure and
functioning and can pose substantial risks to human health. Robust monitoring strategies …

Fresh waters have seen the largest decline in biodiversity of any ecosystem, with lotic
ecosystems particularly impacted by human activities. The main drivers of environmental …

Humans impact terrestrial, marine and freshwater ecosystems, yet many broad-scale studies
have found no systematic, negative biodiversity changes (for example, decreasing …

Despite introduction of legislation such as the EU Nitrates and Water Framework Directives
(Directives 91/676/EEC and 2000/60/EC respectively), agricultural practices are often still …

Degradation of freshwater ecosystems is a major concern worldwide. Agriculture introduces
multiple stressors to streams, presenting a challenge for freshwater managers who must …

Storm events can drive highly variable behavior in catchment nutrient and water fluxes, yet
short‐term event dynamics are frequently missed by low‐resolution sampling regimes. In …

Stream managers need to understand relationships between multiple stressors and
ecological responses. We examined responses of benthic invertebrates and algae along …

Agricultural pesticides are known to significantly impact the composition of communities in
stream ecosystems. Moreover, agricultural streams are often characterised by loss of …

Aquatic species living in running waters are widely acknowledged to be vulnerable to
climate‐induced, thermal and hydrological fluctuations. Climate changes can interact with …

Many species are accumulating climatic debt as they fail to keep pace with increasing global
temperatures. In theory, concomitant decreases in other stressors (eg pollution …
