Of all ecosystems, freshwaters support the most dynamic and highly concentrated
biodiversity on Earth. These attributes of freshwater biodiversity along with increasing …

In an effort to improve tools for effective flood risk assessment, we applied machine learning
algorithms to predict flood-prone areas in Amol city (Iran), a site with recent floods (2017 …

River regulation and climate change are two major causes of river regime alteration that are
difficult to separate, and thus the individual effect of each is not always clear. To demonstrate …

New tools are needed to evaluate the impacts of short‐term hydropower regulation practices
on downstream river systems and to progress towards sustainable river‐flow management …

The Arvandroud river (also known as Shatt-al-Arab) and its estuary have been degraded
due to the changing river flow regime in the Tigris and Euphrates. This study assessed …

The exploration of biodiversity has predominantly been based on taxonomic measures,
whereas functional diversity, a key component of biodiversity, is comparatively understudied …

Air temperature at the northernmost latitudes is predicted to increase steeply and
precipitation to become more variable by the end of the 21st century, resulting in altered …

Although flow regime is one of the major drivers of riverine communities, not much is known
about how inter‐annual variability and extremes of flow influence community assembly …

In the past 30 years, several studies have proved that the river flow regime is fundamental in
structuring biotic communities. The condition of the ecosystem results not only from the …

Studies on biodiversity patterns should optimally relate different scales of temporal
community variability to spatial variability. Although temporal biodiversity variability is often …
