Defining stream riparian zones across multidimensional environmental gradients
Abstract Riparian zones are a critical terrestrial‐aquatic ecotone. They play important roles in ecosystems including (1) harboring biodiversity, (2) influencing light and carbon fluxes to aquatic food webs, (3) maintaining water quality and streamflow, (4) enhancing aquatic habitat, (5) influencing greenhouse gas production, and (6) sequestering ...

Clarifying the trophic state concept to advance macroscale freshwater science and management
Abstract For over a century, ecologists have used the concept of trophic state (TS) to characterize an aquatic ecosystem's biological productivity. However, multiple TS classification schemes, each relying on a variety of measurable parameters as proxies for productivity, have emerged to meet use‐specific needs.

Abstract Inland waterways have historically been viewed as a desirable means for transporting commodities. However, creating and maintaining navigable river channels can entail substantial geomorphological modifications, resulting in changes to the ecohydrology of a river and its adjacent floodplains.

Anaerobic Codigestion of Municipal Wastewater, Landfill Leachate, and Crude Glycerin: Process Stability and Methane Yield Assessment Using a Screening Design [PDF]
Anaerobic codigestion of municipal wastewater with landfill leachate and crude glycerin can achieve near‐theoretical methane yields (0.349 L NCH4/g tCODadd). An optimal mixture of 2% leachate and 1% glycerin was identified, as higher glycerin content negatively impacted performance, highlighting the criticality of substrate balance for energy recovery.

This paper approaches the patterns in fish distribution across the altitudinal gradient in the Upper Paraguay River basin, from uplands to the floodplain. We compiled more than 75,000 available fish records and registered 342 fish species and your distribution along altitudinal gradient. Floodplain portion have higher species diversity than headwaters,
