River hydromorphology has long been subjected to huge anthropogenic pressures with
severe negative impacts on related ecosystems' functioning and water quality. Therefore …

Riparian corridors in Mediterranean-climate regions (med-regions) are resource-rich
habitats within water-limited, larger landscapes. However, little is known about how their …

Aim To test the hypothesis that anthropogenic alteration of stream‐flow regimes is a key
driver of compositional shifts from native to introduced riparian plant species. Location The …

In spite of the increasing amount of experimental evidence on the importance of plant
species richness for ecosystem functioning at local scales, its role on the generation of …

Abstract The primarily Palearctic Diorhabda elongata species group is established for five
Tamarix-feeding sibling species (tamarisk beetles): D. elongata (Brullé, 1832), D. carinata …

Aim We analysed the variation of species richness in the European freshwater fauna across
latitude. In particular, we compared latitudinal patterns in species richness and β‐diversity …

Groundwater-dependent riparian biota is known to be sensitive to changes in soil and
groundwater salinity in estuarine systems. The groundwater flow and salinity behaviour in a …

An exploratory study was conducted in an urbanizing, mixed-land-use Appalachian
watershed. Six study sites, characterized by contrasting land use/land cover, were …

Vegetation forms a major component of the channel environment of dryland rivers in
Mediterranean Europe yet the interactions between vegetation and fluvial processes in …

Interactions between headwater aquifers and peatlands have received limited scientific
attention. Hydrological stresses, including those related to climate change, may adversely …
