Both gradual and extreme weather changes trigger complex ecological responses in river
ecosystems. It is still unclear to what extent trend or event effects alter biodiversity and …

Freshwaters of the boreal and temperate regions have experienced increased browning
during the last decades. Browning, or brownification, is mostly driven by increased organic …

We quantified pesticide contamination and its ecological impact up-and downstream of
seven wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in rural and suburban areas of central …

The detrital‐based food web of many streams and rivers plays a fundamental role in the
cycling and retention of carbon and nutrients. However, we still need to understand which …

Global warming accompanied by precipitation changes impacts soil carbon sequestration. A
three-year field manipulation experiment with warming (+ 2° C above ambient temperature) …

Small, surface-release dams are ubiquitous features of the landscape that typically slow
water flow and decrease canopy cover through impounded reaches, potentially increasing …

In this review, we draw together the research on the two-way connection of streams and their
riparian forests of the boreal zone from ecological points of view. Although the knowledge …

Soil respiration (Rs) is the largest terrestrial carbon (C) efflux to the atmosphere and is
predicted to increase drastically through global warming. However, the responses of Rs to …

A multitude of anthropogenic stressors impact biological communities and ecosystem
processes in urban streams. Prominent among them are salinization, increased …

Field drainage causes habitat loss, alters natural flow regimes, and impairs water quality.
Still, drainage ditches often are last remnants of aquatic and wetland habitats in agricultural …
