Abstract Small, 1st and 2nd-order, headwater streams and ponds play essential roles in
providing natural flood control, trapping sediments and contaminants, retaining nutrients …

Thermal regimes are fundamental determinants of aquatic ecosystems, which makes
description and prediction of temperatures critical during a period of rapid global change …

Large rivers constitute small portions of drainage networks but provide important migratory
habitats and fisheries for salmon and trout when and where temperatures are sufficiently …

High river water temperature (T w) extremes have been widely reported during drought
conditions as extreme low‐flows often coincide with high atmospheric energy inputs. This …

Lateral connectivity between rivers and terrestrial landscapes is critical for both river and
landscape health. Due to widespread anthropogenic degradation of riverscapes, river …

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

Forests play a critical role in the hydrologic cycle, impacting the surface and groundwater
dynamics of watersheds through transpiration, interception, shading, and modification of the …

River temperatures are expected to increase this century harming species requiring cold‐
water habitat unless restoration activities protect or improve habitat availability. Local …

Modelling river temperature at the catchment scale is needed to understand how aquatic
communities may adapt to current and projected climate change. In small and medium …

Identifying the main controlling factors of the stream temperature (Tw) variability is important
to target streams sensitive to climate and other drivers of change. The thermal sensitivity …
