Dynamic, downstream-propagating thermal vulnerability in a mountain stream network: Implications for biodiversity in the face of climate change

Kyle Leathers et al.

Summary: As climate change continues to increase air temperature in high-altitude ecosystems, understanding the vulnerability of aquatic habitat to warming becomes critical. Research shows that streams are most sensitive to atmospheric warming in spring and summer, which threatens invertebrate communities. The estimated reduction of cold-water habitat suggests a potential threat to stream macroinvertebrate biodiversity.

Why are biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships so elusive? Trophic interactions may amplify ecosystem function variability

Dan Wu et al.

Summary: The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functions has been widely studied, but the variation in ecosystem functions across systems with similar species diversity has been rarely addressed. In this study, a food web model and empirical data were used to examine the relationships between species richness and variation in ecosystem functions. The results suggest that the variation in ecosystem functions is influenced by trophic interactions and the diversity of basal species, which has implications for biodiversity loss and ecosystem predictability.

Glacier runoff influences biogeochemistry and resource availability in coastal temperate rainforest streams: Implications for juvenile salmon growth

Jason B. Fellman et al.

Summary: Meltwater contributions to watersheds are decreasing as glaciers disappear, altering the flow, temperature, and biogeochemistry of freshwaters. This landscape change may result in more homogenous streamflow patterns within glacierized watersheds, potentially impacting the ability of watersheds to support Pacific salmon.

Landscape diversity promotes stable food-web architectures in large rivers

Eric A. Scholl et al.

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.

Watershed Classification Predicts Streamflow Regime and Organic Carbon Dynamics in the Northeast Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest

Ian J. W. Giesbrecht et al.

Summary: In this study, a hydro-biogeochemical classification system was developed for watersheds draining to the coastal margin of the Northeast Pacific coastal temperate rainforest. Cluster analysis was used to group watersheds into 12 types based on watershed properties, and the classification was validated using streamflow and dissolved organic carbon measurements from rivers. The results showed that watershed types corresponded with differences in streamflow regime, mean annual runoff, DOC seasonality, and mean DOC concentration.

Light and flow regimes regulate the metabolism of rivers

Emily S. Bernhardt et al.

Summary: Mean annual temperature and precipitation do not explain variation in gross primary productivity (GPP) or ecosystem respiration (ER) in rivers. There is significant variation in the magnitude and seasonality of GPP and ER across US rivers. Rivers respire more carbon than they fix and have less consistent seasonality compared to terrestrial ecosystems. Variation in annual solar energy inputs and flow stability drive GPP and ER in rivers.

A melting cryosphere constrains fish growth by synchronizing the seasonal phenology of river food webs

J. Ryan Bellmore et al.

Summary: Mountain watersheds with glacier-, snow-, and rain-fed streams have distinct hydrologic, temperature, and biogeochemical characteristics. However, as glaciers diminish and precipitation changes, these characteristics will fade. This could lead to the loss of unique food webs and impact the ability of watersheds to sustain aquatic consumers.

Nutrient enrichment intensifies the effects of warming on metabolic balance of stream ecosystems

Wyatt F. Cross et al.

Summary: Climate warming and eutrophication are important factors affecting the role of freshwater in the global carbon cycle. This study found that nutrient enrichment and temperature have significant effects on ecosystem production, with warmer N-enriched streams experiencing amplified effects. Increased respiration of microbial heterotrophs was identified as the driver of these responses.

Rock glaciers and related cold rocky landforms: Overlooked climate refugia for mountain biodiversity

Stefano Brighenti et al.

Summary: Cold rocky landforms in mountain ranges, often overlooked in ecological literature, have the potential to provide stable and cool habitats for biodiversity in the face of climate warming. These features may act as key climate refugia for terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity, remaining on the landscape even after adjacent glaciers and snowfields have melted.

Species richness is more important for ecosystem functioning than species turnover along an elevational gradient

Joerg Albrecht et al.

Summary: The study measures ecosystem functions across an elevational gradient on Mount Kilimanjaro and finds that species richness has a greater impact on function than species turnover. Additionally, they demonstrate that variations in species richness impact ecosystem functioning more strongly at the landscape scale than at the local scale.
