A recent global meta‐analysis reported a decrease in terrestrial but increase in freshwater
insect abundance and biomass (van Klink et al., Science 368, p. 417). The authors …

Inland navigation in Europe is proposed to increase in the coming years, being promoted as
a low-carbon form of transport. However, we currently lack knowledge on how this would …

Generally, the high levels of biodiversity found in natural ecosystems have positive effects
on ecosystem functions (EFs), though the intensity and direction of such effects can vary …

Biodiversity loss is often an important driver of the deterioration of ecosystem functioning in
freshwater ecosystems. However, it is far from clear how multiple ecosystem functions (ie …

In semi-arid regions, water policy has strongly promoted the construction of water reservoirs
with little or no consideration for their ecological consequences. In order to quantify the effect …
