DOI: 10.1029/2019jf005253
Abstract: Coarse bed load transport is a crucial process in river morphodynamics but is difficult to monitor in mountain streams. Here we present a new sediment transport dataset obtained from two years of field‐based monitoring (2014‐2015)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.00421-22
Abstract: Benthic biofilms represent the dominant form of life in glacier-fed streams. However, it remains unclear how bacterial communities within these biofilms assemble. ABSTRACT Microbial life in glacier-fed streams (GFSs) is dominated by benthic biofilms which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.02010-22
Abstract: Streams draining proglacial floodplains harbor benthic biofilms comprised of diverse microbial communities. These high-mountain ecosystems are rapidly changing with climate warming, and it is therefore critical to better understand the mechanisms underlying the assembly of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.948165
Abstract: Glacier shrinkage opens new proglacial terrain with pronounced environmental gradients along longitudinal and lateral chronosequences. Despite the environmental harshness of the streams that drain glacier forelands, their benthic biofilms can harbor astonishing biodiversity spanning all… read more here.

DOI: 10.3897/bdj.7.e33576
Abstract: Abstract Background Aquatic macroinvertebrates are widely used as bioindicators for water quality assessments involving different kinds of disruptive factors, such as hydrological regime variations or pollutant spills. Recently, they demonstrated to be effective in monitoring… read more here.
