BACKGROUND Early civilizations developed around seasonal river floodplains, and the
natural rhythm of rivers remains critical to humans today. We use streams and rivers to meet …

New scientific understanding is catalyzed by novel technologies that enhance measurement
precision, resolution or type, and that provide new tools to test and develop theory. Over the …

Numerous studies have revealed dam-and sluice-(DS) induced modifications in the natural
hydrologic regime and ecological flow (HR&EF) by identifying the pre-and post-impact …

Climate variability and human activities are the two major driving forces of changes in the
hydrological cycle. However, how these two factors separately influence the water cycle in …

Flow regimes are a major driver of community composition and structure in riverine
ecosystems, and flow regulation by dams often induces artificially-stable flow regimes …

In this study, the occurrences of 110 micropollutants in the surface waters and sediments
collected at eight sampling sites along the middle reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo River …

The Water Framework Directive set for European Union countries the objective of restoring
the ecological and/or sediment continuity of rivers, as the latter is relevant for providing …

Aging dams and the rising efforts to restore stream ecosystems are increasing the number of
dam decommissioning programs. Although dam decommissioning aims at improving in …

Nutrients are critical to the development of plant and animal life in the river ecological
system. In recent years, more attentions have arisen on the impact of building hydropower …

Damming effects on sulfur (S) cycling remains unclear at basin scales due to the lack of
basic data prior to dam construction. To explore the influence of damming on the riverine S …
