Rising water temperature in rivers: Ecological impacts and future resilience

Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews Water, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 11(4)

Abstract Rising water temperatures in rivers due to climate change are already having observable impacts on river ecosystems. Warming has both direct and indirect aquatic life, further aggravates pervasive issues such as eutrophication, pollution, the spread of disease. Animals can survive higher through physiological and/or genetic acclimation, behavioral phenological change, range shifts more suitable locations. As such, those animals that adapted cool‐water regions typically found high altitudes latitudes where there fewer dispersal opportunities most at risk future extinction. However, sub‐lethal animal physiology phenology, body‐size, trophic interactions could have significant population‐level effects elsewhere. Rivers vulnerable warming because historic management left them exposed solar radiation removal riparian shade, hydrologically disconnected longitudinally, laterally, vertically. The resilience riverine ecosystems is also limited by anthropogenic simplification habitats, with implications for resource use resident organisms. Due complex ecosystems, species‐specific response organisms warming, predicting how will challenging. Restoring provide connectivity heterogeneity conditions would a expected co‐occurring pressures, including should be considered priority part global strategies adaptation mitigation.

Scales matter: regional environment factors affect α diversity but local factors affect β diversity of macroinvertebrates in Thousand Islands Lake catchment area

Ecological Indicators, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 158, С. 111561 - 111561

A more profound comprehension of various facets biodiversity is essential for advancing sustainable governance and its associated ecosystem services. In this study, we delved into the composition beta diversity within macroinvertebrates communities in Thousand Islands Lake catchment area. Subsequently, investigated factors influencing diverse alpha diversity, ultimately employed structural equation modeling to analyze pathways through which both regional environmental factors, like climate land use, local variables collectively impact distinct ecosystem. Our results showed that (i) taxonomic phylogenetic diversities were primarily determined by turnover, while functional predominantly nestedness; (ii) are influenced spatial variables, with environment ranking second, use explaining lowest proportion according variance partitioning; (iii) mainly affected especially climatic (precipitation) hydrological (depth) revealed modeling. These offer compelling evidence composition, ecological drivers, specific influence vary across different scales. Future studies could focus on as well consider effects at scales, would provide new insights potential patterns community associations.

The relationships between biotic uniqueness and abiotic uniqueness are context dependent across drainage basins worldwide

Landscape Ecology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 39(4)

Опубликована: Апрель 5, 2024

Abstract Context Global change, including land-use change and habitat degradation, has led to a decline in biodiversity, more so freshwater than terrestrial ecosystems. However, the research on freshwaters lags behind marine studies, highlighting need for innovative approaches comprehend biodiversity. Objectives We investigated patterns relationships between biotic uniqueness abiotic environmental drainage basins worldwide. Methods compiled high-quality data aquatic insects (mayflies, stoneflies, caddisflies at genus-level) from 42 spanning four continents. Within each basin we calculated (local contribution beta diversity, LCBD) of insect assemblages, types heterogeneity, LCEH), categorized into upstream land cover, chemical soil properties, stream site landscape position, climate. A mixed-effects meta-regression was performed across examine variations strength LCBD-LCEH relationship terms latitude, human footprint, major continental regions (the Americas versus Eurasia). Results On average, LCBD LCEH were weak. direction varied among basins. Latitude, footprint index, or location did not explain significant variation relationship. Conclusions detected strong context dependence Varying conditions gradient lengths basins, historical contingencies, stochastic factors may these findings. This underscores basin-specific management practices protect biodiversity riverine systems.

Combined stress of an insecticide and heatwaves or elevated temperature induce community and food web effects in a Mediterranean freshwater ecosystem

Water Research, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 260, С. 121903 - 121903

Опубликована: Июнь 6, 2024

Ongoing global climate change will shift nature towards Anthropocene's unprecedented conditions by increasing average temperatures and the frequency severity of extreme events, such as heatwaves. While climatic changes pose an increased threat for freshwater ecosystems, other stressors like pesticides may interact with warming lead to unpredictable effects. Studies that examine underpinned mechanisms multiple stressor effects are scarce often lack environmental realism. Here, we conducted a experiment using outdoor mesocosms natural assemblages macroinvertebrates, zooplankton, phytoplankton, macrophytes, microbes. The neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid (1 µg/L) were investigated in combination three temperature scenarios representing ambient, elevated (+4°C), heatwaves (+0 8°C), latter two having similar energy input. We found dissipation patterns all treatments lowest half-lives under both (DT50: 3 days) highest ambient 4 throughout experiment. Amongst communities, only zooplankton community was significantly affected combined treatments. This demonstrated low chemical sensitivity lagged significant negative cyclopoids. Heatwaves caused early long-lasting on compared temperatures, Polyarthra, Daphnia longispina, Lecanidae, cyclopoids being most negatively taxa, whereas Ceriodaphnia nauplii showed positive responses temperature. Community recovery from stress slower heatwaves, suggesting temperature-enhanced toxicity. Finally, microbial macrofauna litter degradation enhanced temperature, also imidacloprid. A structural equation model depicted cascading food web stronger relationships at higher than lower trophic levels. Our study highlights series imidacloprid-stressed freshwaters.

Climate change is poised to alter mountain stream ecosystem processes via organismal phenological shifts

Climate change is affecting the phenology of organisms and ecosystem processes across a wide range environments. However, links between organismal process in complex communities remain uncertain. In snow-dominated watersheds, snowmelt spring early summer, followed by long low-flow period, characterizes natural flow regime streams rivers. Here, we examined how earlier will alter mountain stream via an outdoor mesocosm experiment channels Eastern Sierra Nevada, California. The treatment, simulating 3- to 6-wk return summer baseflow conditions projected under climate scenarios region, increased water temperature reduced biofilm production respiration ratios 32%. Additionally, most invertebrate species explaining community (56% 67% benthic emergent taxa, respectively), changed as consequence treatment. Further, flux pulses dominant insect group (Chironomidae) almost doubled magnitude, benefitting generalist riparian predator. Changes both structure (composition) functioning (production) were mostly fine-scale, response diversity at level stabilized seasonally aggregated responses. Our study illustrates vulnerable rain-to-snow transition poised dynamics food webs fine-scale changes phenology—leading novel predator–prey “matches” or “mismatches” even when appear stable annual scale.
