Water temperature is crucial for aquatic ecosystem health, influencing physical and biochemical processes determining the distribution of temperature-adapted organisms. Wetlands provide essential services, including water quality improvement, yet their thermal regimes are understudied despite critical role in health. This review synthesizes 35 studies on controls natural constructed freshwater wetlands predominantly midlatitude regions, published from 2000 to 2023. We identify key at landscape wetland site-specific scales: features topography, geology, land cover, site factors vegetation, hydroperiod, hydraulic conductivity, size. Regional climatic drivers moderated by a site’s position landscape, groundwater inputs, surface area-to-depth ratio. Vegetation can cooling through shading or contribute stratification limiting mixing. Wetland condition assessments used assess health functionality based various biophysical hydrological criteria offer insights into spatial influences change but tend oversimplify these relationships. highlights need refined typologies that conceptualize nested site-level within broader account temporal dynamics. Future research should focus detailed investigations variations across types scales, with enhanced data resolution support adaptive management amid climate change.

Abstract Climate change is interacting with water resource pressures to alter the frequency, severity and spatial extent of drought, which can thus no longer be considered a purely natural hazard. Although particularly severe ecological impacts drought have occurred in drylands, its effects on temperate ecosystems, including rivers, are also considerable. Extensive research spanning diverse range UK rivers offers an opportunity place past context intensifying climate examine likely future typically cool, wet country. Here, manifests instream as deficits surface water, modified flow velocities, and—increasingly—partial or complete drying previously perennial naturally non‐perennial reaches.

ABSTRACT As climatic extremity intensifies, a fundamental rethink is needed to promote the sustainable use of freshwater resources. Both floods and droughts, including water scarcity, are exacerbating declines in river biodiversity ecosystem services, with consequences for both people nature. Although this global challenge, densely populated regions such as Europe, East Asia North‐America, well most affected by climate change, particularly vulnerable. To date mitigation measures have mainly focused on individual, local‐scale targets, often neglecting hydrological connectivity within catchments interactions among hydrology, biodiversity, change human wellbeing. A comprehensive approach improve infiltration, retention groundwater recharge, thereby mitigating impacts heavy rainfall droughts scarcity. We propose holistic catchment‐scale framework that combines conventional civil engineering methods, nature‐based solutions conservation actions. This integrates legislation, substantial funding governance structure transcends administrative discipline boundaries, enabling coordinated actions across multiple spatial temporal scales. It necessitates collaboration local regional stakeholders citizens, scientists practitioners. vision management resources could synergistic effects support mitigate functional ecosystems deliver benefits people.

ABSTRACT With the rapid decline of aquatic biodiversity, conservation tools such as captive breeding for reintroduction are becoming more common. A major challenge, however, lies in determining which species should be prioritized efforts. One effective method is to assess species' life history and ecological traits, often associated with extinction risk can provide critical insights guiding prioritization. In this study, we assessed all small‐bodied minnow darter North America (i.e., Canada, United States Mexico) determine if traits could predict their status. We analysed 13 relation IUCN status 220 183 darters. For minnows, substrate, climatic zone, diet, feeding location, total length maximum water temperature were a higher being threatened. darters, an increased threatened zone length. Taken together, study identifies key that influence fishes provides actionable prioritizing programmes. These findings guide practitioners developing species‐specific, proactive recovery strategies prioritize at enhance efforts before they become wild.
