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 present the hydrological results from 28 basins across Europe sampling a wide range of forest types, climate conditions and ground conditions, and determine if forestry can have significant impacts on stream flows and to identify particularly critical situations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the potential role of floodplain woodland in flood alleviation and found that the presence of trees and associated woody debris on the floodplain increases the hydraulic roughness, thus slowing down flood flows and enhancing flood storage.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the suitability of the thermal regime for fish in relation to riparian shade in a warm water system and found that a relatively low level of shade (20-40%) was effective in keeping summer temperatures below the incipient lethal limit for brown trout, but ca. 80% shade generally prevented water temperatures exceeding the range reported for optimum growth of brown trout.

TL;DR: Long term trend analysis of bulk precipitation, throughfall and soil solution elemental fluxes from 12 years monitoring at 10 ICP Level II forest sites in the UK reveal coherent national chemical trends indicating recovery from sulphur deposition and acidification.
