A collaborative research agenda for restoring free-flowing rivers
The Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR) calls for restoring at least 25,000 kilometres of free-flowing rivers by 2030. Translating this ambition into implementation remains challenging due to differing restoration priorities across ecological, social, economic and governance contexts. This study offers a roadmap to support the implementation of the NRR's goal of restoring free-flowing rivers.

From Soil to Sediment: Bedform Migration Shapes Microbial Communities From Eroding Bank Soil During Terrestrial–Aquatic Regime Shift
The authors tested the impact of simulated ripple migration on two types of river sediment, namely aquatic sediment and incoming soil from eroding riverbanks, and compared them to stationary conditions in a microcosm experiment. Ripple migration influences community dynamics and microbial metabolism and decelerates the colonization of incoming soil from eroding riverbanks.
Persistent inequities in global lake science
The study shows that, of the approximately 2,500 lakes that had been scientifically investigated by 2020, around 50 per cent were located in North America, 21 per cent in Asia, and 16 per cent in Europe. In contrast, lakes in Africa, South America and Oceania have been much less researched.
