The recovery of European freshwater biodiversity has come to a halt

Nature, 2023
Owing to a long history of anthropogenic pressures, freshwater ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to biodiversity loss^ 1 . Mitigation measures, including wastewater treatment and hydromorphological restoration, have aimed to improve environmental ...

Human impacts on global freshwater fish biodiversity

Science, 2021
No waters left untouched We are increasingly aware of human impacts on biodiversity across our planet, especially in terrestrial and marine systems. We know less about fresh waters, including large rivers. Su et al.

People need freshwater biodiversity

WIREs Water, 2023
Freshwater biodiversity, from fish to frogs and microbes to macrophytes, provides a vast array of services to people. Mounting concerns focus on the accelerating pace of biodiversity loss and declining ecological function within freshwater ecosystems ...

Freshwater Shortage, Salinity Increase, and Global Food Production: A Need for Sustainable Irrigation Water Desalination—A Scoping Review

Earth, 2023
Climate-change-induced freshwater shortage and saline intrusion have been posing significant risks to agricultural sectors in arid and semi-arid regions, negatively impacting irrigation, crop yield, and food production.

Bending the Curve of Global Freshwater Biodiversity Loss: An Emergency Recovery Plan

BioScience, 2020
Despite their limited spatial extent, freshwater ecosystems host remarkable biodiversity, including one-third of all vertebrate species. This biodiversity is declining dramatically: Globally, wetlands are vanishing three times faster than forests, and ...

Threats of global warming to the world’s freshwater fishes

Nature Communications, 2021
Climate change poses a significant threat to global biodiversity, but freshwater fishes have been largely ignored in climate change assessments. Here, we assess threats of future flow and water temperature extremes to ~11,500 riverine fish species.

Emerging threats and persistent conservation challenges for freshwater biodiversity

Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2018
In the 12 years since Dudgeon et al. (2006) reviewed major pressures on freshwater ecosystems, the biodiversity crisis in the world's lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams and wetlands has deepened.

Freshwater Fish Invasions: A Comprehensive Review

Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2022
Freshwater fish have been widely introduced worldwide, and freshwater ecosystems are among those most affected by biological invasions. Consequently, freshwater fish invasions are one of the most documented invasions among animal taxa, with much ...
