The Role of Biodiversity in the Functioning of Freshwater and Marine Benthic Ecosystems

TL;DR: Results from these small-scale, low-diversity manipulative studies indicate that the effects of changes in biodiversity are highly variable over space and time and frequently depend on specific biological traits or functional roles of individual species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiversity under threat in glacier-fed river systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on macroinvertebrates (mainly insect larvae) and demonstrate that local and regional diversity, as well as turnover among reaches (β-diversity), will be consistently reduced by the shrinkage of glaciers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impacts of stream acidification on litter breakdown: implications for assessing ecosystem functioning

TL;DR: Measuring leaf breakdown rate may be developed into a simple, powerful and low-cost tool for assessing a critical component of ecosystem functioning and is advocated for the routine biomonitoring of freshwaters affected by, or recovering from, other anthropogenic stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Species richness–decomposition relationships depend on species dominance

TL;DR: Investigation of spatial and temporal variability of leaf decomposition rates and community metrics of leaf-eating invertebrates (shredders) in streams finds that shredder community composition dramatically influenced the diversity‐ function relationship.
