The biological assessment of rivers ie, their assessment through use of aquatic
assemblages, integrates the effects of multiple-stressors on these systems over time and is …

Global climate change is likely to modify the ecological consequences of currently acting
stressors, but potentially important interactions between climate warming and land‐use …

Agricultural land uses can impact stream ecosystems by reducing suitable habitat, altering
flows, and increasing inputs of diffuse pollutants including fine inorganic sediment (< 2 mm) …

The use of trait‐based approaches to detect effects of land use and climate change on
terrestrial plant and aquatic phytoplankton communities is increasing, but such a framework …

Lack of knowledge about how the various drivers of global climate change will interact with
multiple stressors already affecting ecosystems is the basis for great uncertainty in …

Land‐use changes have degraded ecosystems worldwide. A particular concern for
freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem function are stressors introduced by intensified …

Water pollution is ubiquitous globally, yet how the effects of pollutants propagate through
natural ecosystems remains poorly understood. This is because the interactive effects of …

Most freshwater ecosystems are subject to multiple anthropogenic stressors, which
commonly reduce biodiversity across all levels. Existing freshwater bioassessment …

Measures of organic matter processing have been proposed as indices of stream ecosystem
function to complement structural measures (water quality, taxonomic composition) in stream …

Biological traits, which may give insights into the mechanisms driving the distribution of
organisms along gradients of stressor intensities, have been proposed as a tool for …
