Combined effects of heatwaves and micropollutants on freshwater ecosystems: Towards an integrated assessment of extreme events in multiple stressors research

Global Change Biology, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 28(4), P. 1248 - 1267

Abstract Freshwater ecosystems are strongly influenced by weather extremes such as heatwaves (HWs), which predicted to increase in frequency and magnitude the future. In addition these climate extremes, freshwater realm is impacted exposure various classes of chemicals emitted anthropogenic activities. Currently, there limited knowledge on how combined HWs affects structure functioning ecosystems. Here, we review available literature describing single effects different levels biological organization, obtain a holistic view their potential interactive effects. We only found few studies (13 out 61 included this review) that investigated combination with chemical pollution. The reported varied largely not within trophic but also depending studied endpoints for populations or individuals. Hence, owing little number available, no consistent could be highlighted at any level organization. Moreover, an imbalance towards species population experiments, five using multitrophic approach. This results gap relevant community ecosystem endpoints, prevents exploration important indirect can compromise food web stability. impairs validity risk assessments our ability protect Finally, highlight urgency integrating extreme events into multiple stressors provide specific recommendations guide further experimental research regard.

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on planet, yet they have suffered tremendous losses due to anthropogenic disturbances predicted be adversely affected habitats under future climate change conditions. can viewed as microbially driven that rely efficient capture, retention, recycling nutrients in order thrive oligotrophic waters. Microorganisms play vital roles maintaining holobiont health ecosystem resilience environmental stress; however, also key players positive feedback loops intensify coral reef decline, with cascading effects biogeochemical cycles marine food webs. There is an urgent need develop a fundamental understanding complex microbial interactions within their role acclimatization, it important include microorganisms conservation secure for these unique environments.
