River networks represent the largest biogeochemical nexus between the continents, ocean
and atmosphere. Our current understanding of the role of rivers in the global carbon cycle …

River water quality is crucial to ecosystem health and water security, yet its deterioration
under climate change is often overlooked in climate risk assessments. Here we review how …

BACKGROUND Early civilizations developed around seasonal river floodplains, and the
natural rhythm of rivers remains critical to humans today. We use streams and rivers to meet …

Mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation drive much of the variation in
productivity across Earth's terrestrial ecosystems but do not explain variation in gross …

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 …

Gas exchange across the air–water boundary of streams and rivers is a globally large
biogeochemical flux. Gas exchange depends on the solubility of the gas of interest, the gas …

Streams and rivers provide important services to humans, and therefore, their ecological
integrity should be a societal goal. Although ecological integrity encompasses structural and …

Although seasonal patterns of ecosystem productivity have been extensively described and
analyzed with respect to their primary forcings in terrestrial and marine systems …

Recent advances in high‐frequency environmental sensing and statistical approaches have
greatly expanded the breadth of knowledge regarding aquatic ecosystem metabolism—the …

Many of the world's rivers are ice‐covered during winter months but increasing evidence
indicates that the extent of river ice will shift substantially as winters warm. However, our …
