TL;DR: Dramatically slowed breakdown at both extremes of the gradient indicated strong nutrient limitation in unaffected systems, potential for strong stimulation in moderately altered systems, and inhibition in highly polluted streams, emphasizing the need to complement established structural approaches with functional measures for assessing ecosystem health.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present guidelines for assessing river restoration success based on a total of 49 indicators and 13 specific objectives elaborated for the restoration of low-to mid-order rivers in Switzerland.

TL;DR: This comprehensive analysis is the first to quantitatively identify environmental and methodological variables that influence the observed effects of salmon and identify sources of variation in salmon–stream interactions.

TL;DR: It is found that Earth’s biomes have distinct carbon processing signatures, and slow processing is evident across latitudes, whereas rapid rates are restricted to lower latitudes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a conceptual framework illustrating how changes in dependent wildlife communities and ecosystem processes can be predicted by examining shifts in riparian plant functional trait diversity and redundancy.
