Non-perennial river segments—those that recurrently cease to flow or frequently dry—occur
in all river networks and are globally more abundant than perennial (always flowing) …

Freshwater biodiversity is under great threat across the globe as evidenced by more severe
declines relative to other types of ecosystems. Some of the main stressors responsible for …

Owing to a long history of anthropogenic pressures, freshwater ecosystems are among the
most vulnerable to biodiversity loss. Mitigation measures, including wastewater treatment …

As research on the full spectrum of ecosystem service (ES) generation and utilization within
coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) has expanded, many studies have shown …

Abstract The EU Nature Restoration Law represents an important opportunity for freshwater
habitat restoration and, consequently, freshwater biodiversity protection. However, a number …

Climate change is interacting with water resource pressures to alter the frequency, severity
and spatial extent of drought, which can thus no longer be considered a purely natural …

Rivers are an important component of the global carbon cycle and contribute to atmospheric
carbon exchange disproportionately to their total surface area. Largely, this is because rivers …

Freshwater biodiversity loss is accelerating globally, but humanity can change this trajectory
through actions that enable recovery. To be successful, these actions require coordination …

The loss of longitudinal connectivity affects river systems globally, being one of the leading
causes of the freshwater biodiversity crisis. Barriers alter the dispersal of aquatic organisms …

Abstract Ecosystem Services (ESs) are either material or non-material benefits humans
receive from ecosystems. Definitions, classifications, and typologies of ESs can vary to …
