The bed of fluvial ecosystems plays a major role in global biogeochemical cycles. All fluvial
sediments migrate and although responses of aquatic organisms to such movements have …

Many large rivers in China have an inflow of contaminated water. Water pollution caused by
urban sewage and agriculture, and occasionally pollution events from industries have …

This paper is a comprehensive and updated overview of river restoration and covers all
relevant aspects from drivers of restoration, linkages between hydromorphology and biota …

Stream restoration is widely applied for conservation of freshwater ecosystems, but
systematic comparisons on the effects of different techniques are rare. In this study, we …

Urban wastewater effluents bring large amounts of nutrients, organic matter and organic
microcontaminants into freshwater ecosystems. The effects of this complex mixture of …

Deposition of fine sediment that fills interstitial spaces in streambed substrates is widely
acknowledged to have significant negative effects on macroinvertebrate communities, but …

Anthropogenic impacts and climate change modify instream flow, altering ecosystem

Abstract5 The occurrence of earthquakes has the potential to significantly modify river
morphology and cause notable effects on the aquatic ecosystem. Prior to the 2008 …

The habitat heterogeneity hypothesis states that increased habitat heterogeneity promotes
species diversity through increased availability of ecological niches. We aimed at describing …

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art eco-hydraulic and eco-sedimentation studies in
China, particularly focusing on the impact of hydropeaking, habitat suitability modelling, bio …
