Riverine landscapes: biodiversity patterns, disturbance regimes, and aquatic conservation
TL;DR: To be effective, conservation efforts should be based on a solid conceptual foundation and a holistic understanding of natural river ecosystems, and background knowledge is necessary to re-establish environmental gradients, to reconnect interactive pathways, and to reconstitute some semblance of the natural dynamics responsible for high levels of biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interbiome comparison of stream ecosystem dynamics
G. Wayne Minshall,Robert C. Petersen,Kenneth W. Cummins,Thomas L. Bott,James R. Sedell,Colbert E. Cushing,Robin L. Vannote +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined changes in key ecosystem parameters: benthic organic matter, transported organic matter (TOM), community production and respiration, leaf pack decomposition, and functional feeding-group composition along gradients of increasing stream size.
Journal ArticleDOI
A preliminary classification of running‐water sites in Great Britain based on macro‐invertebrate species and the prediction of community type using environmental data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) and two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN) to classify 268 sites on forty-one river systems throughout Great Britain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Potential Importance of Boundaries of Fluvial Ecosystems
TL;DR: It is concluded that studies of resource patches, their boundaries, and the nature of exchange with adjacent patches will improve the perspective of drainage basin dynamics over a range of temporal and spatial scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrient dynamics, transfer and retention along the aquatic continuum from land to ocean: towards integration of ecological and biogeochemical models
Alexander F. Bouwman,Alexander F. Bouwman,Marc F. P. Bierkens,Jasper Griffioen,Mariet M. Hefting,Jack J. Middelburg,Hans Middelkoop,Caroline P. Slomp +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare existing river ecology concepts with current approaches to describe river biogeochemistry, and assesses the value of these concepts and approaches for understanding the impacts of interacting global change disturbances on river bio-geochemistry.
