Besides their role in the hydrological cycle 1 , glaciers could play an important role in the
carbon cycle 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 . They store and transform organic carbon 5 , 6 , which on release …

While glaciers become increasingly recognised as a habitat for diverse and active microbial
communities, effects of their climate change-induced retreat on the microbial ecology of …

Streams receive substantial terrestrial deliveries of dissolved organic matter (DOM). The
chromophoric (CDOM) fraction of terrestrial deliveries confers the brown colour to streamwater, …

Recent studies highlight linkages among the architecture of ecological networks, their
persistence facing environmental disturbance, and the related patterns of biodiversity. A hitherto …

Urbanization is dramatically changing nutrient and organic matter regimes in streams, yet
the community and ecosystem implications often remain obscure. We assessed the …

Glaciers harbour diverse microorganisms, which upon ice melt can be released downstream.
In glacier‐fed streams microorganisms can attach to stones or sediments to form benthic …

Outmigration survival of acoustic-tagged, hatchery-origin, late-fall-run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha) smolts from the Sacramento River was estimated for 5 years (2007–…

The role of inland waters for the global carbon cycle is now recognized and evidence
increasingly suggests that stream ecosystems disproportionately contribute to the carbon cycle. …

Stream ecosystem metabolism integrates production and respiration of organic matter and
plays a fundamental role in the global carbon (C) cycle. Several studies have identified distal …

We studied streams in a rural landscape mosaic of the upper Mara River basin (Mau Forest,
Kenya), where native forest has been converted to land uses dominated by various kinds of …
