Climate change and extreme weather events (such as droughts, heatwaves, rainstorms and
floods) pose serious challenges for water management, in terms of both water resources …

Streams and rivers can substantially modify organic carbon (OC) inputs from terrestrial
landscapes, and much of this processing is the result of microbial respiration. While carbon …

Lakes are heterogeneous ecosystems inhabited by a rich microbiome whose genomic
diversity is poorly defined. We present a continental-scale study of metagenomes …

Climate change and anthropogenic nitrogen deposition are both important ecological
threats. Evaluating their cumulative effects provides a more holistic view of ecosystem …

Flooding is a major disturbance that impacts aquatic ecosystems and the ecosystem
services that they provide. Predicted increases in global flood risk due to land use change …

Carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus are critical macroelements in freshwater systems.
Historically, researchers and managers have focused on inorganic forms, based on the …

Excess nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from human activities have contributed to
degradation of coastal waters globally. A growing body of work suggests that hydrologically …

Stormwater green infrastructure (SGI), including rain gardens, detention ponds, bioswales,
and green roofs, is being implemented in cities across the globe to reduce flooding …

Excess nitrogen (N) impairs inland water quality and creates hypoxia in coastal ecosystems.
Agriculture is the primary source of N; agricultural management and hydrology together …

Rivers and streams play a central role in global carbon budget, but our knowledge is limited
on the magnitude and extent of urbanization influence on riverine methane (CH 4) …
