This article reviews current drought effects on environmental systems. It stresses the need
for considering environmental drought as a relevant type to be included in drought …

Concerns for water resources have inspired research developments to determine the
ecological effects of water withdrawals from rivers and flow regulation below dams, and to …

The term “environmental flows” is now widely used to reflect the hydrological regime
required to sustain freshwater and estuarine ecosystems, and the human livelihoods and …

Increased fine sediment deposition and entrainment in rivers can arise from a combination
of factors including low flows, habitat modification and excessive sediment delivery from the …

Quantification of large-scale climate drivers of drought is necessary to understand better and
manage these spatially extensive and often prolonged natural hazards. Here, this issue is …

It is widely accepted that climate change poses severe threats to freshwater ecosystems.
Here we examine the scientific basis for adaptively managing vulnerable habitats and …

Flow regulation via impoundments threatens lotic ecosystems and the services they provide
globally. Impoundments drastically alter flow and stream temperature variability within fluvial …

Methods are needed to relate changing river flows to ecological response, particularly those
which do not require collection of extensive new data for river segments that lack historical …

The growing interest in combining spatial and temporal patterns in nature has been fostered
by the current availability of high‐frequency measurements. However, we still lack a …

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