TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the causal mechanisms that underpin the observed negative response exhibited by fish populations to enhanced fine sediment loads, and the variability across different fish species across different families.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the evidence available for deriving improved guidelines on the loading of fine sediment to rivers based on the impact on macro-invertebrates and conclude that existing water quality guidelines for sediment management are unlikely to be appropriate.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive data set of DOC concentration records for UK catchments was compiled to evaluate trends and test whether observed increases are ubiquitous over time and space, and the average annual increase in DOC concentration was 0.17 mg C/l/year.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the possibility of deriving frequency distributions of extreme discharges by continuous simulation and applied the rainfall-runoff model TOPMODEL within the generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) framework to the River Wye catchment, Plynlimon, Wales, using a 21-year period of rainfall and discharge observations.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the available evidence base on the impact of fine sediment on macrophytes is presented, with a focus on the relationship between macrophyte communities and fine sediment.
