DOI: 10.1002/2017gl076889
Abstract: It was suggested in a recent article that sunspots drive decadal variation in Amazon River flow. This conclusion was based on a novel time series decomposition method used to extract a decadal signal from the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017gl076935
Abstract: River flooding—the world’s most significant natural hazard—is likely to increase under anthropogenic climate change. Most large rivers have been regulated by damming, but the extent to which these impoundments can mitigate extreme flooding remains uncertain.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6110
Abstract: Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are statistical tools to identify potentially suitable habitats for species. For SDMs in river ecosystems, species occurrences and predictor data are often aggregated across subcatchments that serve as modeling units.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6272
Abstract: Abstract East Dongting Lake is a Ramsar site and a particularly important wintering ground for herbivorous geese along the East Asian‐Australasian Flyway. The operation of the Three Gorges Dam has changed the water regime and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1691
Abstract: Biological soil crust communities (biocrusts) play an important role in surface hydrologic processes in dryland ecosystems and can be dramatically altered with soil surface disturbance. In this study, through a simulated rainfall experiment, we examined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1756
Abstract: As urban populations grow and the need for sustainable water treatment increases, urban constructed treatment wetlands (CTWs) are increasingly being used and studied. However, less is known about the effectiveness of this “turquoise infrastructure” in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2643
Abstract: Inland waters emit significant quantities of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. On a global scale, these emissions are large enough that their contribution to climate change… read more here.
