TL;DR: In this article, the potential of source water protection to deliver freshwater conservation benefits is explored, and solutions are proposed to address the challenges related to evidence gaps, trade-offs, and financing.

TL;DR: In this article, the focus is on identifying essential research topics that, if addressed, will contribute directly to restoring freshwater biodiversity through supporting "bending the curve" actions (i.e., those actions leading to the recovery of freshwater biodiversity, not simply deceleration of the current downward trend).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a comprehensive species database and a global hydrologic model to examine the exposure of freshwater biodiversity to discharge and runoff alterations across Africa and Madagascar, and found that by the 2050s, ecoregions containing over 80% of freshwater fish species and several outstanding ecological and evolutionary phenomena are likely to experience hydrological conditions substantially different from the present with alterations in annual discharge or runoff of more than 10%.

TL;DR: The effects of riparian shading on stream temperature are documented extensively in the literature, with a general consensus that summer temperatures in small streams increase following riparian cutting (BESCHTA et al. 1987).
