In the 12 years since Dudgeon et al.(2006) reviewed major pressures on freshwater
ecosystems, the biodiversity crisis in the world's lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams and …

Mountain lakes are often situated in protected natural areas, a feature that leads to their role
as sentinels of global environmental change. Despite variations in latitude, mountain lakes …

Climate and land-use change drive a suite of stressors that shape ecosystems and interact
to yield complex ecological responses (that is, additive, antagonistic and synergistic effects) …

The biota of European rivers are affected by a wide range of stressors impairing water
quality and hydro‐morphology. Only about 40% of Europe's rivers reach 'good ecological …

Lake ecosystems and the services that they provide to people are profoundly influenced by
dissolved organic matter derived from terrestrial plant tissues. These terrestrial dissolved …

Surface freshwaters—lakes, reservoirs, and rivers—are among the most extensively altered
ecosystems on Earth. Transformations include changes in the morphology of rivers and …

Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain recent, widespread increases in
concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the surface waters of glaciated …

Reduced atmospheric acid deposition has given rise to recovery from acidification–defined
as increasing pH, acid neutralization capacity (ANC), or alkalinity in surface waters. Strong …

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in 22 UK upland waters have increased by
an average of 91% during the last 15 years. Increases have also occurred elsewhere in the …

Across the 28 EU member states there were nearly half a million premature deaths in 2015
as a result of exposure to PM 2.5, O 3 and NO 2. To set the target for air quality levels and …
