Droughts, or severe reductions of water flow, are expected to become more frequent and
intense in rivers in many regions under the ongoing climate change scenario. It is therefore …

Perennial rivers and streams make a disproportionate contribution to global carbon (C)
cycling. However, the contribution of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) …

Abstract Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and acid deposition are co‐occurring in many
ecosystems, likely with complex interactive effects on litter decomposition. Few studies have …

Riparian plants are an integral part of the river ecosystem and have significant impacts on
the water quality of the reservoir area. The special hydrological process of the riparian zone …

Fungi are among the most abundant and diverse organisms on Earth and play pivotal roles
in global carbon processing, nutrient cycling and food webs. Despite their abundant and …

Investigating the influence of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning over environmental
gradients is needed to anticipate ecosystem responses to global change. However, our …

Climate change is altering hydrologic regimes globally. In the Mediterranean climate region
of south‐western Australia (SWA), climate drying has caused many perennial streams to …

Flow interruption in intermittent rivers (IRs) generates a mosaic of terrestrial and aquatic
habitats across the river network affecting ecosystem processes, as organic matter (OM) …

Spatial and temporal widening of drought periods together with occurrence of flash storm
events are consequences of global change affecting temporary stream ecosystems …

Drought would significantly influence the forest soils through changing the litterfall
production and decomposition process. However, comprehensive in situ studies on drought …
