TL;DR: A global survey covering 196 dry inland waters shows that their CO2 emissions share fundamental drivers and constitute a substantial fraction of the carbon cycled by inland waters, increasing current inland water carbon flux estimates by 6%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic effects of low-flow hydrology on riverine ecosystems: ecological principles and consequences of alteration
TL;DR: The mechanistic links described in this synthesis can be used to develop and test hypotheses of low-flow hydrological–ecological response relationships in a cause–effect framework that will have value for both research and river flow management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological research and management of intermittent rivers: An historical review and future directions
Catherine Leigh,Andrew J. Boulton,Jennifer L. Courtwright,Ken M. Fritz,Christine L. May,Richard H. Walker,Thibault Datry +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the research on intermittent rivers from its early focus on natural history through to current application in management and policy, and highlight the need to protect and better manage intermittent rivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow intermittence and ecosystem services in rivers of the Anthropocene
Thibault Datry,Andrew J. Boulton,Núria Bonada,Ken M. Fritz,Catherine Leigh,Eric Sauquet,Klement Tockner,Klement Tockner,Bernard Hugueny,Clifford N. Dahm +9 more
TL;DR: This work conceptualizes how flow intermittence governs ecosystem service provision and transfers at local and river-basin scales during flowing, non-flowing and dry phases and applies a socio-ecological perspective for validating the ecosystem services of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams.
Journal ArticleDOI
A landscape approach to advance intermittent river ecology
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used landscape metrics and ecologically scaled indices for four hypothetical aquatic species (two fish and two insects) to describe the dynamics of intermittent river mosaics for five catchments.
