Non-perennial segments in river networks
Non-perennial river segments—those that recurrently cease to flow or frequently dry—occur
in all river networks and are globally more abundant than perennial (always flowing) …

The effects of climatic fluctuations and extreme events on running water ecosystems
Most research on the effects of environmental change in freshwaters has focused on
incremental changes in average conditions, rather than fluctuations or extreme events such …

Intermittent rivers: a challenge for freshwater ecology
For many decades, river research has been focused on perennial rivers. Intermittent river
research has a shorter history, and recent studies suggest that alternating dry and wet …

Ecological research and management of intermittent rivers: an historical review and future directions
Rivers and streams that do not flow permanently (herein intermittent rivers; IR s) make up a
large proportion of the world's inland waters and are gaining widespread attention. We …

Extent, patterns, and drivers of hypoxia in the world's streams and rivers
Hypoxia in coastal waters and lakes is widely recognized as a detrimental environmental
issue, yet we lack a comparable understanding of hypoxia in rivers. We investigated controls …

Drought effects on wet soils in inland wetlands and peatlands
Soils associated with wet and ephemerally wet environments, ie wet soils, cover an area
greater than 12.1 million km 2; inland wetlands deliver at least Int $27.0 trillion in tangible …

Drought, floods and water quality: drivers of a severe hypoxic blackwater event in a major river system (the southern Murray–Darling Basin, Australia)
KL Whitworth, DS Baldwin, JL Kerr - Journal of Hydrology, 2012 - Elsevier
Hypoxic blackwater events are characterised by high levels of dissolved organic carbon in
the water column, the metabolism of which depletes dissolved oxygen, which can cause fish …

Instructive surprises in the hydrological functioning of landscapes
Landscapes receive water from precipitation and then transport, store, mix, and release it,
both downward to streams and upward to vegetation. How they do this shapes floods …

Drainage from the critical zone: Lithologic controls on the persistence and spatial extent of wetted channels during the summer dry season
In seasonally dry environments, critical zone drainage provides base flow that sustains river
ecosystems. The extent of wetted channels and magnitude of base flow throughout the …
