How does #biodiversity control 🍂decomposition in #RiverNetworks?
In our new Ecological Monographs paper, we show that 🪲macroinvertebrate key taxa drive decomposition, while #FunctionalDiversity reduces decomposition #variability! Network-scale #BEF in action, check it out!

Hi there!
I made it back to social media after some rest
I am a river-lover, trail runner & #FreshwaterEcologist working at ‪@um.e‬s exploring how #Drying affects #Biodiversity - #EcosystemFunctioning relationships across #RiverNetworks.
Looking forward to catching up quickly with freshwater folks!

The Role of Link Length Hierarchy on Dynamic Connectivity in River Networks Across Climatic Regimes
We quantify how the spatial organization of channel lengths control the convergence of fluxes across river networks Link-length hierarchy across stream orders controls minimal flow connectivity, ...

Why #IntermittentRivers are excluded from management plans? Often stakeholders devalue them compared to perennial rivers due to aesthetic, recreational and biological reasons. A shift in paradigm is needed to protect our entire #RiverNetworks

It took a long way, but FINALLY!

Happy to share our efforts to investigate how #drying alters the #biodiversity control of 🍂decomposition in #RiverNetworks.

We found that JUST 6 days of drying⚠️ halves decomposition rates due to structural community shifts🪲➡️🦠

Drying halves decomposition rates in river networks by disrupting structure-function linkages
River drying is intensifying worldwide due to climate change and water abstraction, with major consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. In river networks, drying not only alters local ...

Naturally #DryingRivers support unique #Biodiversity & numerous #EcosystemServices. Rivers that dry because of #HumanActivities may not: ignoring this distinction could undermine #management of #RiverNetworks & exacerbate risks to ecosystems & people.
