Ecological responses to altered flow regimes: a literature review to inform the science and management of environmental flows
Tập 55 Số 1 - Trang 194-205 - 2010
Summary1. In an effort to develop quantitative relationships between various
kinds of flow alteration and ecological responses, we reviewed 165 papers
published over the last four decades, with a focus on more recent papers. Our
aim was to determine if general relationships could be drawn from disparate case
studies in the literature that might inform environmental flows science and
management.2. ...
How much water does a river need?
Tập 37 Số 1 - Trang 231-249 - 1997
1. This paper introduces a new approach for setting streamflow‐based river
ecosystem management targets and this method is called the ‘Range of Variability
Approach’ (RVA). The proposed approach derives from aquatic ecology theory
concerning the critical role of hydrological variability, and associated
characteristics of timing, frequency, duration, and rates of change, in
sustaining aquatic ecosy...
The ecological limits of hydrologic alteration (ELOHA): a new framework for developing regional environmental flow standards
Tập 55 Số 1 - Trang 147-170 - 2010
Summary1. The flow regime is a primary determinant of the structure and function
of aquatic and riparian ecosystems for streams and rivers. Hydrologic alteration
has impaired riverine ecosystems on a global scale, and the pace and intensity
of human development greatly exceeds the ability of scientists to assess the
effects on a river‐by‐river basis. Current scientific understanding of
hydrologic ...
The thermal regime of rivers: a review
Tập 51 Số 8 - Trang 1389-1406 - 2006
Summary1. The thermal regime of rivers plays an important role in the overall
health of aquatic ecosystems, including water quality issues and the
distribution of aquatic species within the river environment. Consequently, for
conducting environmental impact assessments as well as for effective fisheries
management, it is important to understand the thermal behaviour of rivers and
related heat exc...
Lake responses to reduced nutrient loading – an analysis of contemporary long‐term data from 35 case studies
Tập 50 Số 10 - Trang 1747-1771 - 2005
Summary1. This synthesis examines 35 long‐term (5–35 years, mean: 16 years) lake
re‐oligotrophication studies. It covers lakes ranging from shallow (mean depth
<5 m and/or polymictic) to deep (mean depth up to 177 m), oligotrophic to
hypertrophic (summer mean total phosphorus concentration from 7.5 to 3500 μg L−1
before loading reduction), subtropical to temperate (latitude: 28–65°), and
lowland t...
Tangled webs: reciprocal flows of invertebrate prey link streams and riparian zones
Tập 50 Số 2 - Trang 201-220 - 2005
Summary1. Streams and their adjacent riparian zones are closely linked by
reciprocal flows of invertebrate prey. We review characteristics of these prey
subsidies and their strong direct and indirect effects on consumers and
recipient food webs.2. Fluxes of terrestrial invertebrates to streams can
provide up to half the annual energy budget for drift‐feeding fishes such as
salmonids, despite the f...
Incorporating thermal regimes into environmental flows assessments: modifying dam operations to restore freshwater ecosystem integrity
Tập 55 Số 1 - Trang 86-107 - 2010
Summary1. Despite escalating conflict over fresh water, recent years have
witnessed a growing realisation that human society must modify its behaviour to
ensure long‐term ecological vitality of riverine ecosystems. In response,
ecologists have been increasingly asked to guide instream flow management by
providing ‘environmental flow’ prescriptions for sustaining the ecological
integrity of riverin...
A fuzzy coding approach for the analysis of long‐term ecological data
Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 295-309 - 1994
SUMMARY We present an unconventional procedure (fuzzy coding) to structure
biological and environmental information, which uses positive scores to describe
the affinity of a species for different modalities (i.e. categories) of a given
variable. Fuzzy coding is essential for the synthesis of long‐term ecological
data because it enables analysis of diverse kinds of biological information
derived fr...
Metacommunity organisation, spatial extent and dispersal in aquatic systems: patterns, processes and prospects
Tập 60 Số 5 - Trang 845-869 - 2015
Summary Metacommunity ecology addresses the situation where sets of local
communities are connected by the dispersal of a number of potentially
interacting species. Aquatic systems (e.g. lentic versus lotic versus marine)
differ from each other in connectivity and environmental heterogeneity,
suggesting that metacommunity organisation also differs between major aquatic
systems. Here, we review fin...
The functional role of burrowing bivalves in freshwater ecosystems
Tập 46 Số 11 - Trang 1431-1446 - 2001
1. Freshwater systems are losing biodiversity at a rapid rate, yet we know
little about the functional role of most of this biodiversity. The ecosystem
roles of freshwater burrowing bivalves have been particularly understudied. Here
we summarize what is known about the functional role of burrowing bivalves in
the orders Unionoida and Veneroida in lakes and streams globally.2. Bivalves
filter phyto...
