Abstract

Global freshwater biodiversity is declining dramatically, and meeting the challenges of this crisis requires bold goals and the mobilisation of substantial resources. While the reasons are varied, investments in both research and conservation of freshwater biodiversity lag far behind those in the terrestrial and marine realms. Inspired by a global consultation, we identify 15 pressing priority needs, grouped into five research areas, in an effort to support informed stewardship of freshwater biodiversity. The proposed agenda aims to advance freshwater biodiversity research globally as a critical step in improving coordinated actions towards its sustainable management and conservation.

Abstract

Riparian habitats are important ecotones connecting aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, but are often highly degraded by human activities. Riparian buffers might help support impacted riparian communities, and improve trophic connectivity. We sampled spider communities from riparian habitats in an agricultural catchment, and analyzed their polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content to quantify trophic connectivity. Specific PUFAs are exclusively produced by stream algae, and thus are used to track uptake of aquatic resources by terrestrial consumers. Riparian spiders were collected from 10 site pairs situated along agricultural streams, and from five forest sites (25 sites total). Each agricultural site pair comprised an unshaded site with predominantly herbaceous vegetation cover, and a second with a woody riparian buffer. Spider communities differed between site types, with web-building spiders dominating woody buffered sites and free-living spiders associated with more open habitats. PUFA concentrations were greatest overall in free-living spiders, but there was also evidence for increased PUFA uptake by some spider groups when a woody riparian buffer was present. Our results reveal the different roles of open and wooded riparian habitats in supporting terrestrial consumers and aquatic-terrestrial connectivity, and highlight the value of incorporating patches of woody vegetation within riparian networks in highly modified landscapes.

Abstract

Developing a general, predictive understanding of ecological systems requires knowing how much structural and functional relationships can cross scales and contexts. Here, we introduce the CROSSLINK project that investigates the role of forested riparian buffers in modified European landscapes by measuring a wide range of ecosystem attributes in stream-riparian networks. CROSSLINK involves replicated field measurements in four case-study basins with varying levels of human development: Norway (Oslo Fjord), Sweden (Lake M&auml, laren), Belgium (Zwalm River), and Romania (Argeş River). Nested within these case-study basins include multiple, independent stream-site pairs with a forested riparian buffer and unbuffered section located upstream, as well as headwater and downstream sites to show cumulative land-use impacts. CROSSLINK applies existing and bespoke methods to describe habitat conditions, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning in aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Here, we summarize the approaches used, detail protocols in supplementary materials, and explain how data is applied in an optimization framework to better manage tradeoffs in multifunctional landscapes. We then present results demonstrating the range of riparian conditions present in our case-study basins and how these environmental states influence stream ecological integrity with the commonly used macroinvertebrate Average Score Per Taxon (ASPT) index. We demonstrate that a qualitative index of riparian integrity can be positively associated with stream ecological status. This introduction to the CROSSLINK project shows the potential for our replicated study with its panoply of ecosystem attributes to help guide management decisions regarding the use of forested riparian buffers in human-impacted landscapes. This knowledge is highly relevant in a time of rapid environmental change where freshwater biodiversity is increasingly under pressure from a range of human impacts that include habitat loss, pollution, and climate change.

17. Effects of river restoration on ecosystem metabolism and trophic relationships

Abstract

Following a long history of human pressures on riverine ecosystems, the European Water Framework Directive (WFD, Directive 2000/60/EC) came into force in 2000 and initiated a new period of river management in Europe. The directive aims at improving the ecological and chemical status of rivers in order to achieve the ‘good status’ of all surface waters until the year 2027. In Europe, degraded hydromorphology has been highlighted as a central impact to the ecological status of the rivers. For instance, in countries such as Germany, the hydromorphology of almost all river sections is affected to an extent that they fail to meet the WFD goals. In response, river hydromorphology is nowadays being restored at an increasing rate. Restoration of river hydromorphology has the potential to affect not only structural ecosystem features, including species composition and diversity, but also functional aspects, such as key ecosystem processes and trophic transfers of energy and nutrients. Despite this, the most-widely used parameters for assessing the success or failure of restoration projects are almost exclusively based on changes in community composition of different biological groups (e.g., fish, benthic invertebrates, and macrophytes). Functional metrics, even though increasingly recognized as a valuable addition to classical assessments, are rarely used to study restoration effects. Consequently, the outcomes of river restoration for key ecosystem processes (e.g., river metabolism) and trophic relationships (e.g., trophic structure of benthic invertebrate communities and trophic connectivity between river and land) remain poorly understood. Against this background, the present thesis focused on the following objectives: (i) The application of stable isotope analysis (δ13C, δ15N) together with quantitative community metrics to characterize changes in the trophic structure of benthic invertebrate communities following restoration. (ii) The characterization of the isotopic composition (δ13C, δ15N) of consumers in aquatic, riparian, and terrestrial habitats to assess restoration effects on the trophic connectivity between river and land. (iii) The assessment of reach-scale restoration effects on hydromorphology, habitat composition and hydrodynamics and the estimation of the corresponding responses of river ecosystem metabolism.
