Chapter 2, building on prior assessments1, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Climate change is causing habitat salinity to transform at unprecedented rates across the
globe. While much of the research on climate change has focused on rapid shifts in …

Background River damming inevitably reshapes water thermal conditions that are important
to the general health of river ecosystems. Although a lot of studies have addressed the …

Climate change is reducing summertime water availability and elevating water temperature,
placing human consumptive needs in competition with needs of coldwater fishes. We …

Study region Watersheds of the Atlantic Coast of the United States (ACUS) spanning a
latitudinal range of 30.8° N–46.5° N Study focus This study assessed climate-induced …

A central tenet of landscape ecology is that mobile species depend on complementary
habitats, which are insufficient in isolation, but combine to support animals through the full …

In river systems, headwater networks contain the vast majority of the stream length. Thus,
climate and land‐use change in headwaters have disproportionate impacts on downstream …

Interest in the effects of warmwater temperatures (≥ 20° C) on fishes has grown as
biologists attempt to understand the impacts of climate change on native species. Previous …

An increase in river water temperatures is being detected worldwide, with some predictions
of an up to 4° C rise by 2050. Such stream temperature increase is likely to affect aquatic …

Main aim of the study was to determine the temporal and spatial patterns of relations
between monthly and annual average river flow (RF) and water temperature (WT) for 53 …
