As the share of renewable energy grows worldwide, flexible energy production from peak-
operating hydropower and the phenomenon of hydropeaking have received increasing …

Riverine fishes face many challenges including habitat degradation and climate change,
which alter the productivity of the riverscapes in which fish live, reproduce, and feed …

Although time series in ecosystem metabolism are well characterized in small and medium
rivers, patterns in the world's largest rivers are almost unknown. Large rivers present …

River scientists strive to understand how streamflow regimes vary across space and time
because it is fundamental to predicting the impacts of climate change and human activities …

The effects of dams on carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes in downstream lakes remain elusive.
Here we combined eddy covariance observations and random forest models to examine …

River ecosystem function depends on flow regimes that are increasingly modified by
changes in climate, land use, water extraction, and flow regulation. Given the wide range of …

Directly observing autotrophic biomass at ecologically relevant frequencies is difficult in
many ecosystems, hampering our ability to predict productivity through time. Since …

Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO 2 CO_2) fluxes in regulated Alpine rivers are driven by multiple
biogeochemical and anthropogenic processes, acting on different spatiotemporal scales …

Artificial high flows attempt to simulate natural flood pulses in flow-regulated rivers with the
intent to improve their ecological integrity. The long-term use of such high flow events have …

Long-distance water diversion projects significantly affect the water resource cycle and
allocation of regions. However, many unknowns still exist in water ecosystem functionality …
