Abstract The EU Nature Restoration Law represents an important opportunity for freshwater
habitat restoration and, consequently, freshwater biodiversity protection. However, a number …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized ecological research, particularly for
biodiversity assessment in various environments, most notably aquatic media …

The ever-increasing threats to riverine ecosystems call for novel approaches for highly
resolved biodiversity assessments across taxonomic groups and spatio-temporal scales …

Decomposing organic matter forms a substantial resource base, fueling the biogeochemical
function and secondary production of most aquatic ecosystems. However, detrital N …

In this study, we explored how barriers such as dams have affected the longitudinal
connectivity of riverine habitats from the perspective of potamodromous fish. For this …

Rivers are an important component of the global carbon cycle and contribute to atmospheric
carbon exchange disproportionately to their total surface area. Largely, this is because rivers …

The integration of ecosystem processes over large spatial extents is critical to predicting
whether and how local and global changes may impact biodiversity and ecosystem …

Introduction Understanding how species are distributed in space and how they interact with
each other is central for scientific and conservation purposes. Species' distributions and …

Quantifying connectivity patterns in dryland ecosystems enables us to understand how
changes in the vegetation structure influence the runoff and erosion processes. This …

All river networks are virtually prone to drying, which is dramatically increasing in space and
time. This threatens the functions and ecosystem services (ES) rivers provide to societies …
