A modelling approach to assess climate change impacts on taxonomic and functional diversity of European stream macroinvertebrates: Implications for water quality monitoring
The authors used bioclimatic models to predict EU freshwater macroinvertebrate habitats. The future distribution of macroinvertebrates reveals significant regional variations. Functional diversity was projected to change less than taxonomic diversity. Changes in environmentally suitable areas will impact widely used biological indices.
Rapid Eutrophication of a Clearwater Lake: Trends and Potential Causes Inferred From Phosphorus Mass Balance Analyses
In just 10 years, the phosphorus concentration in Lake Stechlin has quadrupled, which has been accompanied by algal blooms, oxygen depletion in the deep water and other signs of eutrophication. The study now shows that the causes are not always to be found in increasing nutrient inputs from the catchment or in re-dissolution processes in the deep areas of the lake, but also in the shallower parts.
Hydropower impacts on riverine biodiversity
The authors discuss the impacts of hydropower on aquatic and semi-aquatic species and how the impacts accumulate spatially and temporally across basins. They recommend the STREAM framework: Systematic planning, Tracking hydropower impacts, Responsive adaptive management strategies, Elimination of hydropower infrastructure, Assessment of socioecological trade-offs, and Multi-actor decision-making.
