The recovery of European freshwater biodiversity has come to a halt
Haase, Peter; Bowler, Diana E.; Baker, Nathan J.; Bonada, Núria; Domisch, Sami; Garcia Marquez, Jaime R.; Heino, Jani; Hering, Daniel; Jähnig, Sonja C.Owing to a long history of anthropogenic pressures, freshwater ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to biodiversity loss1. Mitigation measures, including wastewater treatment and hydromorphological restoration, have aimed to improve environmental quality and foster the recovery of freshwater biodiversity2. Here, using 1,816 time series of freshwater invertebrate communities collected across 22 European coun...
Biomonitoring of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams in Europe: Current p...
