Linkages between flow regime, biota, and ecosystem processes: Implications for river restoration
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 …

The metabolic regimes of flowing waters
The processes and biomass that characterize any ecosystem are fundamentally constrained
by the total amount of energy that is either fixed within or delivered across its boundaries …

Toward global mapping of river discharge using satellite images and at-many-stations hydraulic geometry
CJ Gleason, LC Smith - Proceedings of the National …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
Rivers provide critical water supply for many human societies and ecosystems, yet global
knowledge of their flow rates is poor. We show that useful estimates of absolute river …

Trophic pyramids reorganize when food web architecture fails to adjust to ocean change
As human activities intensify, the structures of ecosystems and their food webs often
reorganize. Through the study of mesocosms harboring a diverse benthic coastal …

Drought alters the structure and functioning of complex food webs
Climate change is expected to make many regions of the world much drier over coming
decades,. More intense drought would transform rivers with potentially severe but largely …
