Elevated fine sediment input from terrestrial and aquatic sources as a result of
anthropogenic activity is widely recognized to impact negatively on aquatic ecosystems. In …

The sustainable use of water resources requires clear guidelines for the management of
diffuse pollution inputs to rivers. Without informed guidelines, management decisions are …

A substantial increase in fluvial sediment supply relative to transport capacity causes
complex, large-magnitude changes in river and floodplain morphology downstream …

Agricultural land uses can impact stream ecosystems by reducing suitable habitat, altering
flows, and increasing inputs of diffuse pollutants including fine inorganic sediment (< 2 mm) …

It is predicted that 60% of all new energy investments over the next 20 years will be in
renewables. The estimation for new hydropower production is 25% of all new renewables …

Freshwater biodiversity provides important ecosystem services and is at the core of water
quality monitoring worldwide. To assess freshwater biodiversity, genetic methods such as …

Increased fine sediment deposition and entrainment in rivers can arise from a combination
of factors including low flows, habitat modification and excessive sediment delivery from the …

Increased fine sediment input caused by agricultural development is expected to act as a
stressor for stream ecosystems. In a large‐scale field experiment, we added fine river sand …

Fine sediment is one of the major sources of stream physical and ecological impairment
worldwide. We assessed the ecological effects of fine sediment in an otherwise undisturbed …

Fine sediment in streams and rivers is one of the most globally widespread of all freshwater
pollutants. However, the ecological implications are still poorly quantified, and field …
