Metacommunity studies commonly use spatial distances or, more recently, landscape
resistance measures between study sites as a surrogate for connectivity. However, local …

Urbanization substantially changes the physicochemical and biological characteristics of
streams. The trajectory of negative effect is broadly similar around the world, but the nature …

The importance of small waterbodies for biodiversity and ecosystem processes has long
been neglected in research and policy development. However, because of their …

Urbanization is a global stressor of stream ecosystems. Watershed managers in urban
regions often implement infiltration-based stormwater control measures (SCMs) to mitigate …

As impervious cover increases with urban development, stream channels are degraded by
increased stormwater runoff, which negatively impacts stream habitat quality and benthic …

We analysed the development of benthic invertebrate assemblages in restored urban
streams in Germany. Prior to restoration these streams were open sewers and not inhabited …

In ecological restoration we are faced with the challenge of making decisions about
ecosystem management with imperfect information about system dynamics and trajectories …

Floods are necessary for the functioning of floodplain ecosystems. Ultimately, flood effects
on biota are spatially complex and unfold at various time scales. Yet, biodiversity …

Residential shoreline and watershed development by humans are leading agents of
environmental change in lake ecosystems that reduce abundances and diversity of littoral …

Abstract The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and the Conservation Reserve
Enhancement Program (CREP) in the USA offer farmers government financial incentives to …
