Biomonitoring of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams in Europe: Current p...
Stubbington, Rachel; Chadd, Richard; Cid, Núria; Csabai, Zoltán; Miliša, Marko; Morais, Manuela; Munné, Antoni; Pařil, Petr; Pešić, VladimirIntermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) are common across Europe and dominate some Mediterranean river networks, supporting high biodiversity and providing ecosystem services in all climate zones. As dynamic ecosystems that transition between flowing, pool, and dry states, IRES are typically poorly represented in biomonitoring programmes implemented to characterize EU Water Framework Directive 'ecologi...
Science and Management of Intermittent Rivers and Ephemeral Streams (SMIRES)
Datry, Thibault; Singer, Gabriel; Sauquet, Eric; Jorda-Capdevilla, Didac; Von Schiller, Daniel; Subbington, Rachel; Magand, Claire; Pařil, PetrMore than half of the global river network is composed of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which are expanding in response to climate change and increasing water demands. After years of obscurity, the science of IRES has bloomed recently and it is being recognised that IRES support a unique and high biodiversity, provide essential ecosystem services and are functionally part of river networks a...
