Summary: Climate change impacts on river flows are assessed by studying the 'Time of Emergence' (ToE) when the signal of climate change becomes distinguishable from natural variability. In Australia, ToE of streamflow changes across different river basins have been investigated considering different water management objectives and climate model projections. ToE is likely to occur earlier in hydrologic systems with low natural variability and longer periods of vulnerability. Regional differences exist, with changes first emerging in south-west regions followed by the south-east, east, and north. Implications include the prioritization of climate adaptation efforts and the urgency of climate change mitigation.

Summary: The research shows that the loss of predator species can interact with heatwaves to moderate the compositional stability of ecosystems. Heatwaves homogenize algal communities in space, but only when predators are absent. The presence of predators can help to buffer the impacts of heatwaves, underscoring the importance of conserving trophic structure and how species extinctions can amplify the effects of climate change and extreme events.

Summary: Bioaccumulation of mercury in freshwater fish is a complex process influenced by environmental and biological factors. While surface water mercury concentrations were high in the studied tributaries of the Red Deer River, patterns of fish THg concentrations varied by species. The study suggests that mercury poses a risk to piscivorous wildlife health in these streams, but bioaccumulation is not solely driven by environmental factors and commonly associated factors like body size and trophic level may not strongly influence mercury concentrations in these ecosystems.

Summary: Quantifying the relationships between landscape diversity and species interactions is crucial for understanding the impact of land-use change and homogenization on community stability and persistence. In this study, we used river sonar imaging and energetic food webs to investigate the relationships among habitat diversity, energy flux, and trophic interaction strengths in a large-river food-web supporting the endangered Pallid Sturgeon. Our findings show a clear connection between habitat diversity and species interaction strengths, with more diverse habitats promoting higher prey production and a greater proportion of weak and potentially stabilizing interactions. Additionally, rare patches of large and stable river sediments intensified these effects by increasing prey diversity and reducing interaction strengths. The results highlight the importance of landscape characteristics in shaping food-web architectures and have direct implications for the management of imperiled species in a changing world.

Summary: The soil microbial food web is crucial for soil health, nutrient cycling, and agricultural productivity. However, the effects of heavy metal contamination on the trophic-level interactions within this food web in agricultural soils, which are globally contaminated, have not been well-studied. This study examined the interactions among predators, preys, and competitors under different metal contamination levels and found that metal contamination altered the growth of different prey groups, resulting in changes in the diversity and abundance of consumers and their interactions. Lab experiments confirmed these findings, indicating the collapse of trophic-level interactions due to heavy metal contamination.

Summary: This study focuses on the change in hydrothermal regime and its ecological response in the upper reach of the Yangtze River basin in China. A framework is proposed to quantify the impact of climate change and reservoirs on hydrothermal variability and fish reproduction. The results show that hydrothermal tends to be uniform after the mutation, with reservoirs playing a dominant role. Climate change is the main factor for river warming on an annual scale, while reservoirs act as heat sources in autumn and winter and as cold sources in other seasons. The reservoirs also significantly affect hydrothermal in the nonflood season, especially in March and December. They have delayed the spawning time for Coreius guichenoti and Myxocyprinus asiaticus but increased the duration of Myxocyprinus asiaticus.

Summary: This study investigates the drying preferences of macroinvertebrates in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) and their potential as biomonitoring indicators. The research identifies certain macroinvertebrate groups with drying-resistant niches that can serve as potential indicators in IRES. However, functional traits have limited ability to predict drying specialization. The density, relative abundance, and richness of drying-resistant taxa are less affected by drying intensity compared to drying-sensitive taxa.

Summary: The production of animal biomass and the number of trophic levels in an ecosystem are influenced by various factors including primary production, disturbance, predator-prey interactions, and the efficiency of energy flow through food webs. However, quantifying food web efficiency has been challenging. In this study, food web efficiency was estimated in nine desert streams using fish community production relative to gross primary production. The results showed that food web efficiency varied across different streams and was influenced by flash flood recurrence, resource availability, and trophic structure. The findings suggest that energy flow in hydrologically dynamic desert stream ecosystems may decouple from primary producers to upper trophic levels.

Summary: Fungi in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams have different strategies and adaptations to cope with drying, but these adaptations may have trade-offs that affect ecosystem functioning. This study found that drying duration and frequency were the most influential variables in determining fungal species differentiation. The research also identified four drying niche-based groups with different responses to drying. Furthermore, the study showed that species in the drying specialist group had a weak contribution to ecosystem processes, indicating trade-offs between drying resistance and growth energy.

Summary: River scientists conducted a study to understand the effects of dam regulation on river flow regimes. By analyzing data from 175 pairs of regulated and unregulated USGS gages, they found that dams not only affect the magnitude and variability of flow, but also the dominant periodicities of a river's flow regime. The analysis also revealed that the alteration of flow periodicity varies over time, with dam operations, changes in dam capacity, and environmental policies shifting the relative importance of periodicities.

Summary: The objective of this study is to incorporate soil hydraulic properties into the erodibility factor (K) of USLE-type models. By modifying and improving the existing equations for soil texture and permeability, the study successfully included information on saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) into the calculation of K factor. Using the Random Forest machine learning algorithm, two independent K factor maps with different spatial resolutions were generated. The results show that the decrease in K factor values has a positive impact on the modeling of soil erosion rates.
