How Many Chemicals in Commerce Have Been Analyzed in Environmental Media? A 50 Year Bibliometric Analysis

Derek C. G. Muir et al.

Summary: In the past 50 years, the measurement of chemical contaminants in the environment has greatly expanded. However, only a fraction of substances in commerce or of concern have been determined. A bibliometric survey was conducted, which found that pharmaceuticals and current use pesticides accounted for a significant proportion of measured substances.

Invertebrate biodiversity continues to decline in cropland

Francesca Mancini et al.

Summary: Modern agriculture has had significant impacts on global landscapes and wildlife populations. Despite improved policy and management approaches, invertebrate communities are declining, particularly in high-cropland regions. New policy-based drivers and incentives are needed to support the sustainability of agricultural ecosystems.

Evidence of biological recovery from gross pollution in English and Welsh rivers over three decades

Emma Pharaoh et al.

Summary: The changing ecological status of European rivers is influenced by various anthropogenic stressors, including climate change. Recovery from historical pollution may have stalled or been reversed, with contrasting trends across Europe. To provide more contemporary evidence, this study investigated changes in river macroinvertebrate communities in England and Wales over almost 30 years. The results show continuing biological recovery from organic pollution, with increasing taxonomic richness and a shift towards pollution-sensitive taxa. However, local variations and pollutants that differ from the national-scale picture still need further investigation.

Density declines, richness increases, and composition shifts in stream macroinvertebrates

Samantha L. Rumschlag et al.

Summary: Based on the analysis of 6131 stream sites across different land uses in the United States over a period of 27 years, it was found that macroinvertebrate density declined by 11% and richness increased by 12.2%. Insect density and richness showed even greater declines of 23.3% and 6.8%, respectively. Furthermore, there was an increasing difference in richness and composition between urban and agricultural streams compared to forested and grassland streams. Urban and agricultural streams lost disturbance-sensitive taxa and gained disturbance-tolerant taxa. These findings indicate that current stream protection and restoration efforts are insufficient to mitigate the impacts of human activities.

Multiple anthropogenic stressors influence the taxonomic and functional homogenization of macroinvertebrate communities on the mainstream of an urban-agricultural river in China

Yu Ma et al.

Summary: Biodiversity loss caused by human activities poses a threat to human well-being, but the combined effects of multiple stressors on community diversity, both alpha and beta, are not well understood. A long-term experiment on the Songhua River in China from 2012 to 2019 revealed a decline in alpha and beta diversity indices, particularly in impacted river sections. Despite improved water quality, human-caused stressors have led to biotic homogenization of macroinvertebrate communities, with land use being a significant factor. Different facets of diversity have distinct response mechanisms to stressors, providing complementary information in assessing ecological changes. This study highlights the importance of long-term monitoring and the need for timely control of nutrient input and land use expansion to protect river ecosystems.

The recovery of European freshwater biodiversity has come to a halt

Peter Haase et al.

Summary: Due to historical anthropogenic pressures, freshwater ecosystems are highly vulnerable to biodiversity loss. Mitigation efforts, such as wastewater treatment and hydromorphological restoration, aim to improve environmental quality and restore freshwater biodiversity. This study analyzed 1,816 time series of freshwater invertebrate communities across 22 European countries from 1968 to 2020. The findings reveal overall increases in taxonomic and functional diversity and abundance, but these increases have plateaued since the 2010s. Communities downstream of dams, urban areas, and croplands show lower chances of recovery. Faster rates of warming are associated with lesser gains in biodiversity. Additional mitigation measures are needed to revive the recovery of freshwater biodiversity in response to emerging pollutants, climate change, and invasive species.

Discovering Ecological Relationships in Flowing Freshwater Ecosystems

Konrad P. Mielke et al.

Summary: Understanding ecological responses to environmental changes is crucial for conserving biodiversity. Experimental studies are standard to identify cause-effect relationships, but deriving these relationships from observational data is challenging due to potential confounding influences. A new causal discovery algorithm can reveal ecological networks in rivers and streams, providing insights into the causes of reductions in fish and invertebrate community integrity.

Why wastewater treatment fails to protect stream ecosystems in Europe

Olaf Buettner et al.

Summary: There is a significant debate on the reasons behind the poor ecological status of European rivers and streams despite intense regulatory efforts. This study focuses on the discharge from European wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and finds that the degradation of stream ecological status is related to the intensity of local wastewater discharge, especially in smaller streams.

Abundance trends for river macroinvertebrates vary across taxa, trophic group and river typology

Kathryn E. Powell et al.

Summary: There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that terrestrial arthropods are rapidly declining worldwide. However, it remains uncertain whether freshwater invertebrates, which play a crucial role in ecosystem services, are also experiencing declines. In this study, a long-term dataset from 2002 to 2019 of macroinvertebrate abundance in English rivers was analyzed. The findings revealed varied patterns across taxonomic groups and trophic levels, indicating a complex picture of change in freshwater macroinvertebrate abundance. The results contribute to the identification of priority regions for addressing potential environmental stressors causing declines in macroinvertebrate abundance.

Is water quality in British rivers better than at any time since the end of the Industrial Revolution?

M. J. Whelan et al.

Summary: The study explored the claim that river water quality in Great Britain is better now than at any time since the Industrial Revolution. Data and evidence were reviewed for seven categories of water pollutants. The findings suggest that water quality in many rivers downstream of urban centers has improved in sanitary terms, but emerging contaminants and intensive agriculture remain significant challenges. Better identification and prioritization of multiple stressors are needed to enable continued recovery.

Recent trends in stream macroinvertebrates: warm-adapted and pesticide-tolerant taxa increase in richness

Friederike Gebert et al.

Summary: Recent studies have reported both decreases and increases in insect richness. In this study, nationwide monitoring data from Switzerland was analyzed to understand trends and underlying mechanisms. The results showed that the richness of aquatic insects remained stable or increased, with warm-adapted and pesticide-tolerant taxa showing increasing patterns. Climate and land-use factors were identified as important explanatory variables.

Multiple stressors determine river ecological status at the European scale: Towards an integrated understanding of river status deterioration

Jan U. Lemm et al.

Summary: The biota of European rivers are influenced by a variety of stressors, with alterations in hydro-morphology, nutrient enrichment, and toxic substances being the most significant factors. The interaction between these stressors plays a crucial role in influencing the ecological status of the rivers. This highlights the importance of implementing comprehensive management strategies at the catchment scale to achieve good ecological status in European surface waters.

Applied pesticide toxicity shifts toward plants and invertebrates, even in GM crops

Ralf Schulz et al.

Summary: Systematic interpretation of changes in the use of 381 pesticides over 25 years reveals that the toxicity of applied insecticides to aquatic invertebrates and pollinators has considerably increased, driven by highly toxic pyrethroids and neonicotinoids. Additionally, since around 2010, there has been an increasing applied toxicity to aquatic invertebrates and pollinators in genetically modified corn, as well as to terrestrial plants in herbicide-tolerant soybeans. These findings challenge the assumption of decreasing environmental impacts of pesticide use.

Pesticides are the dominant stressors for vulnerable insects in lowland streams

Matthias Liess et al.

Summary: Agricultural nonpointsource pesticide pollution is a major driver in reducing vulnerable insect populations in aquatic invertebrate communities, exceeding the relevance of other anthropogenic stressors. The current authorization of pesticides underestimates the actual ecological risk and needs to include monitoring-derived information on pesticide effects at the ecosystem level for adequate environmental quality objectives.
