TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that in-channel flows (flow pulses) may lead to food limitation and stress for populations of fish and other consumers in Australian dryland rivers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize current knowledge of the vulnerability of riparian ecosystems to climate change by assessing the potential exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity of their key components and processes, as well as ecosystem functions, goods and services, to projected global climatic changes.

TL;DR: A decade ago, scientists and practitioners working in environmental water management crystallized the progress and direction of environmental flows science, practice, and policy in The Brisbane Declaration and Global Action Agenda (2007), during the 10th International Riversymposium and International Environmental Flows Conference held in Brisbane, Australia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored soil seed bank composition and its contribution to vegetation dynamics of a hydrologically variable desert floodplain in central Australia: the Cooper Creek floodplain.

TL;DR: The results mirror those of reviews for estuarine, nearshore and marine aquatic ecosystems, demonstrating that although the concepts of regime shifts and alternative stable states have become prominent in the scientific and management literature, their empirical underpinning is weak outside of a specific environmental setting.
