Abstract: Many inland waters exhibit complete or partial desiccation, or have vanished due to global change, exposing sediments to the atmosphere. Yet, data on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from these sediments are too scarce to upscale emissions for global estimates or to understand their fundamental drivers. Here, we present the results of a global survey covering 196 dry inland waters across diverse ecosystem types and climate zones. We show that their CO2 emissions share fundamental drivers and constitute a substantial fraction of the carbon cycled by inland waters. CO2 emissions were consistent across ecosystem types and climate zones, with local characteristics explaining much of the variability. Accounting for such emissions increases global estimates of carbon emissions from inland waters by 6% (~0.12 Pg C y−1). Our results indicate that emissions from dry inland waters represent a significant and likely increasing component of the inland waters carbon cycle., Many inland waters seasonally or permanently dry up, thus exposing sediments to the atmosphere. Here the authors show that a substantial amount of CO2 is emitted from these dry sediments, increasing current inland water carbon flux estimates by 6%.

Abstract: International audience; Non-perennial rivers and streams (NPRS) cover > 50% of the global river network. They are particularly predominant in Mediterranean Europe as a result of dry climate conditions, climate change and land use development. Historically, both scientists and policy makers underestimated the importance of NRPS for nature and humans alike, mainly because they have been considered as systems of low ecological and economic value. During the past decades, diminishing water resources have increased the spatial and temporal extent of artificial NPRS as well as their exposure to multiple stressors, which threatening their ecological integrity, biodiversity and ecosystem services. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of the structural and functional characteristics of NPRS in the European Mediterranean, and discuss gaps and problems in their management, concerning their typology, ecological assessment, legislative and policy protection, and incorporation in River Basin Management Plans. Because NPRS comprise highly unstable ecosystems, with strong and often unpredictable temporal and spatial variability - at least as far as it is possible to assess - we outline the future research needs required to better understand, manage and conserve them as highly valuable and sensitive ecosystems. Efficient collaborative activities among multidisciplinary research groups aiming to create innovative knowledge, water managers and policy makers are urgently needed in order to establish an appropriate methodological and legislative background. The incorporation of NPRS in EU-Med River Basin Management Plans in combination with the application of ecological flows is a first step towards enhancing NPRS management and conservation in order to effectively safeguard these highly valuable albeit threatened ecosystems

Abstract: We define Dry Rivers as those whose usual habitat in space and time are dry channels where surface water may interrupt dry conditions for hours or a few days, primarily after heavy rainfall events that are variable in time and that usually lead to flash floods, disconnected from groundwater and thereby unable to harbor aquatic life. Conceptually, Dry Rivers would represent the extreme of the hydrological continuum of increased flow interruption that typically characterizes the non-perennial rivers, thus being preceded by intermittent and ephemeral rivers that usually support longer wet phases, respectively. This paper aims to show that Dry Rivers are ecosystems in their own right given their distinct structural and functional characteristics compared to other non-perennial rivers due to prevalence of terrestrial conditions. We firstly reviewed the variety of definitions used to refer to these non-perennial rivers featured by a predominant dry phase with the aim of contextualizing Dry Rivers. Secondly, we analyzed existing knowledge on distribution, geophysical and hydrological features, biota and biogeochemical attributes that characterize Dry Rivers. We explored the capacity of Dry Rivers to provide ecosystem services and described main aspects of anthropogenic threats, management challenges and the conservation of these ecosystems. We applied an integrative approach that incorporates to the limnological perspective the terrestrial view, useful to gain a better understanding of Dry Rivers. Finally, we drew main conclusions where major knowledge gaps and research needs are also outlined. With this paper, we ultimately expect to put value in Dry Rivers as non-perennial rivers with their own ecological identity with significant roles in the landscape, biodiversity and nutrient cycles, and society; thus worthy to be considered, especially in the face of exacerbated hydrological drying in many rivers across the world.

Abstract: The dataset (Data File S1; DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.8863721) and the R code used to generate the results (Code S1; DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.8863655), including step by step explanations of the statistical tests, have been deposited in Figshare Digital Repository (https://figshare.com/projects/Sediment_Respiration_Pulses_in_Intermittent_Rivers_and_Ephemeral_Streams/66104)., Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) may represent over half the global stream network, but their contribution to respiration and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is largely undetermined. In particular, little is known about the variability and drivers of respiration in IRES sediments upon rewetting, which could result in large pulses of CO2. We present a global study examining sediments from 200 dry IRES reaches spanning multiple biomes. Results from standardized assays show that mean respiration increased 32–66-fold upon sediment rewetting. Structural equation modelling indicates that this response was driven by sediment texture and organic matter quantity and quality, which, in turn, were influenced by climate, land use and riparian plant cover. Our estimates suggest that respiration pulses resulting from rewetting of IRES sediments could contribute significantly to annual CO2 emissions from the global stream network, with a single respiration pulse potentially increasing emission by 0.2–0.7%. As the spatial and temporal extent of IRES increases globally, our results highlight the importance of recognizing the influence of wetting-drying cycles on respiration and CO2 emissions in stream networks., We thank Y.

Abstract: Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) are dynamic ecosystems that shift between aquatic and terrestrial states. IRES are widespread, abundant and increasing in extent, but developing biomonitoring programmes to determine their ecological quality is challenging. To date, quality assessments have focused on the aquatic organisms present during wet phases, whereas dry-phase communities remain poorly characterized. We examined multiple biotic groups present in dry IRES channels, to compare assemblages at sites impacted and unimpacted by human activity and to evaluate the potential of each group as an ecological quality indicator. We explored existing, unpublished data for three biotic groups: an aquatic microflora (diatoms), an aquatic fauna (the invertebrate ‘seedbank’), and a mixed flora (aquatic and terrestrial plants); notably, we did not source data for terrestrial assemblages with high potential to act as indicators. Diatom and plant assemblage composition differed between impacted and unimpacted sites, and the latter assemblages were more diverse and included more indicator taxa. Invertebrate seedbank taxa richness was higher at unimpacted sites but compositional differences were not detected, probably due to the coarse taxonomic resolution to which abundant taxa were identified. Performance of standard indices of ecological quality was variable, but differences were identified between impacted and unimpacted conditions for all biotic groups. Our results can inform the enhancement of biomonitoring programmes designed to characterize IRES ecological quality in relation to legislative targets. We highlight the need to integrate wet- and dry-phase survey data in holistic quality assessments. Although we suggest diatoms, aquatic plants and the aquatic invertebrate seedbank as having the potential to inform assessment of dry-phase ecological quality, we highlight the need for research to further characterize these aquatic groups and, crucially, to explore terrestrial assemblages with high potential to act as dry-phase quality indicators.

Abstract: Climate change and human pressures are changing the global distribution and the extent of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which comprise half of the global river network area. IRES are characterized by periods of flow cessation, during which channel substrates accumulate and undergo physico‐chemical changes (preconditioning), and periods of flow resumption, when these substrates are rewetted and release pulses of dissolved nutrients and organic matter (OM). However, there are no estimates of the amounts and quality of leached substances, nor is there information on the underlying environmental constraints operating at the global scale. We experimentally simulated, under standard laboratory conditions, rewetting of leaves, riverbed sediments, and epilithic biofilms collected during the dry phase across 205 IRES from five major climate zones. We determined the amounts and qualitative characteristics of the leached nutrients and OM, and estimated their areal fluxes from riverbeds. In addition, we evaluated the variance in leachate characteristics in relation to selected environmental variables and substrate characteristics. We found that sediments, due to their large quantities within riverbeds, contribute most to the overall flux of dissolved substances during rewetting events (56%–98%), and that flux rates distinctly differ among climate zones. Dissolved organic carbon, phenolics, and nitrate contributed most to the areal fluxes. The largest amounts of leached substances were found in the continental climate zone, coinciding with the lowest potential bioavailability of the leached OM. The opposite pattern was found in the arid zone. Environmental variables expected to be modified under climate change (i.e. potential evapotranspiration, aridity, dry period duration, land use) were correlated with the amount of leached substances, with the strongest relationship found for sediments. These results show that the role of IRES should be accounted for in global biogeochemical cycles, especially because prevalence of IRES will increase due to increasing severity of drying events., In this study we experimentally simulated under laboratory conditions rewetting of leaves, riverbed sediments, and epilithic biofilms collected during the dry phase from intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams covering global spatial scale. We determined the amounts and quality of the leached nutrients and dissolved organic matter, assessed their inter‐substrate and cross‐climate differences, and estimated areal fluxes from 1 m2 of riverbeds. In addition, we evaluated the variance in leachate characteristics related to selected environmental variables and substrate characteristics.

Abstract: Debris piles and dry pools are common landscape elements along ephemeral river channels. However, their effects on resource availability and arthropod species diversity have been neglected so far. We investigated whether debris piles and pools along dry riverbeds generate nodes of environmental resources, influence microbial activity, and provide key habitats for ground-dwelling arthropods. We studied three different habitats (channel, debris pile and dry pool) to analyze organic matter, nutrients and microbial activity in dry sediments, and included two further habitats (riparian and upland areas) for ground-dwelling arthropod assemblages along a major ephemeral river (Ugab River, NW Namibia). We observed higher concentrations of organic matter and macro- and micro-nutrients in debris piles than in pools, and higher concentrations in both landscape elements than in the sandy channel matrix. Microbial activity showed a positive relationship with organic matter and nutrient availability in sediments. Debris piles, dry pools and channels harbored diverse and abundant ground-dwelling arthropod assemblages similar to adjacent terrestrial areas. Debris piles and pools differed in assemblage composition not only from riparian and upland areas but also from the sandy channel matrix. Overall, debris piles and dry pools acted as nodes of soil fertility, enhanced microbial activity, and shaped ground-dwelling arthropod assemblages.

Abstract: Functional trait diversity can provide insight into ecosystem function beyond that provided by species diversity measures. The relationship between functional diversity and natural stressors has received less attention compared to anthropogenic stressors. In this study, we investigated how two natural stressors, water salinity and flow intermittence, affect functional richness and functional redundancy of aquatic invertebrate communities using seven biological traits and 39 modalities. For this purpose, we characterized these functional diversity measures in 22 Mediterranean streams with a gradient of natural salinity and flow intermittence. Our findings showed that both functional richness and functional redundancy decreased with increased stress by water salinity and flow intermittence for all the studied traits but more rapidly for the former, suggesting that water salinity is a stronger environmental stressor than flow intermittence. Our study also described an antagonistic interaction of the two study stressors, in which the net effect of both is less than the sum of their independent effects. This study emphasizes that in saline streams, characterized by lower functional richness and functional redundancy, the loss of any taxon can have a huge impact on community functioning. In particular, the functional singularity of saline intermittent streams makes them extremely sensitive to additional anthropogenic impacts. In the context of future global change scenarios, which predict higher flow intermittence and water salinity, this study gives a better understanding of the functional features of these types of ecosystems.

Abstract: Saline streams occur naturally and they are distributed worldwide, particularly in arid and semiarid regions, but human activities have also increased their number in many parts of the world. Little attention has been paid to assess increasing salt effects on organic matter decomposition. The objectives of this study were to analyse wood breakdown rates and how salinity affects them in 14 streams that exemplify a natural salinity gradient. We also analysed the effect of this gradient on changes in wood chemical composition, fungal biomass and microbial activity. Our results showed low breakdown rates (0.0010-0.0032 d(-1)), but they fell within the same range as those reported in freshwater streams when a similar woody substrate was used. However, salinity had a negative effect on the breakdown rates and fungal biomass along the salinity gradient, and led to noticeable changes in wood composition. Water salinity did not affect microbial activity estimated using hydrolysis of fluorescein diacetate. Variation in breakdown rates and fungal biomass across streams was mediated mainly by salinity, and later by stream discharge. Despite the role of fungi in stick breakdown, the potential wood abrasion by salts must be analysed in detail to accurately understand the effect of increasing salinity on organic matter breakdown. Finally, our results indicate that increased salinity worldwide by human activities or by the global warming would imply organic matter breakdown and mineralisation slowing down, even in natural saline streams. However, because many variables are implicated, the final effect of climatic change on organic matter decomposition in streams is difficult to predict.

Abstract: Water scarcity represents an important driver of stream microorganisms and N transformations rates. In semiarid regions many agricultural streams rich in NO 3 − undergo periods of flow cessation of severe duration and spatial extent. After drought, rainfalls tend to firstly rewet stream sediments by creating isolated pools that can remain in streambeds until the entire stream is reconnected. Sediment rewetting may lead the reactivation of nutrient processing, yet usually causes release of inorganic N. Thus, information about the role of sediments during this rewetting period on N processing and fluxes downstream is especially valuable when semiarid watercourses are affected by chronic NO 3 − exposure. We conducted a microcosm study to evaluate how a short-term sediment rewetting over a 7 days period in disconnected pools can control denitrification rates and N availability in an agriculturally impacted semiarid stream. We observed a significant stimulation of denitrification in dry sediments ( −2 h −1 ) upon rewetting with a maximum rate of 830 μg N m −2 h −1 after 24 h. In parallel, NO 3 − in dry sediments (1170 mg m −2 ) dropped considerably after 7 days of rewetting (72 mg m −2 ), despite the fact that denitrification was restrained from 24 h thereafter. However, from this time a notably increase of NH 4 + concentration was detected until the end, which suggests that at this point, NO 3 − is transformed into NH 4 + through dissimilatory reduction (DNRA) supported by low Eh (40 mV). If compared with NO 3 − , NH 4 + can be either more easily retained in sediments or assimilated preferably by organisms. We highlight that the diversification of N species provided by isolated pools creation just before flow resumption may progressively improve water quality in NO 3 − -rich streams, which is a key aspect in the face of future agriculture intensification and water scarcity scenario.

Abstract: International audience; Perennial rivers and streams make a disproportionate contribution to global carbon (C) cycling. However, the contribution of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which sometimes cease to flow and can dry completely, is largely ignored although they represent over half the global river network. Substantial amounts of terrestrial plant litter (TPL) accumulate in dry riverbeds and, upon rewetting, this material can undergo rapid microbial processing. We present the results of a global research collaboration that collected and analysed TPL from 212 dry riverbeds across major environmental gradients and climate zones. We assessed litter decomposability by quantifying the litter carbon-to-nitrogen ratio and oxygen (O2) consumption in standardized assays and estimated the potential short-term CO2 emissions during rewetting events. Aridity, cover of riparian vegetation, channel width and dry-phase duration explained most variability in the quantity and decomposability of plant litter in IRES. Our estimates indicate that a single pulse of CO2 emission upon litter rewetting contributes up to 10% of the daily CO2 emission from perennial rivers and stream, particularly in temperate climates. This indicates that the contributions of IRES should be included in global C-cycling assessments.

Abstract: Intermittent streams are subject to high levels of environmental variation. However, little is known about how biota responds to river drying across the channel-to-upland habitat gradient. This is an important shortcoming because assumes that intermittent river habitats and metacommunities are static. Here we studied how river drying affects the spatial and temporal variation in ground-dwelling arthropod communities (spiders, beetles, and ants) across the lateral habitat gradient. We asked whether particular habitats, moments, or species contribute disproportionally to beta diversity. To this end, we monitored two perennial-intermittent reach pairs during an entire drying cycle, and applied beta-diversity partitioning methods to highly-resolved taxonomy data. We predicted that: (i) intermittent reaches would accumulate higher levels of diversity (alpha and beta) than perennial reaches; (ii) dry riverbeds would harbor more species and more unique species; (iii) alpha and beta diversity would be temporally more variable in intermittent than in permanent reaches; and (iv) species dispersal limitation would explain variation in contributions to beta diversity. Intermittent reaches presented higher alpha and beta diversity, with dry channels harboring more unique species and more species than any other habitat. Arthropod metacommunities were more variable across space than over time, and temporal turnover was significant—with species dispersal limitation being positively associated with contributions to beta diversity. Our results elevate the role of dry channels in intermittent river ecology, and show that previous research has likely underestimated their contributions to river-wide biodiversity. Our findings call for the need to integrate the dry phase of intermittent streams into monitoring and conservation programs.

14. The Biota of Intermittent and Ephemeral Rivers: Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, and Mammals

Abstract: Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), by alternating flowing and dry phases, are coupled aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems hosting unique combinations of amphibian, reptile, bird, and mammal species (hereafter, wildlife) across different world regions. IRES are valuable ecosystems for wildlife providing essential ecological functions during both wet and dry phases. Concurrently, wildlife exerts direct and indirect biotic control of the structure (biodiversity and physical modification) and function (nutrient cycling and connectivity) of IRES, playing important ecological roles. Although flow intermittence has direct and indirect effects on the presence, abundance, and/or activity of vertebrate species, different adaptations allow them to cope with flow intermittence. Many anthropogenic activities (e.g., flow alteration, habitat degradation, water pollution) combined with the spread of invasive species, emerging diseases, and climate change threaten the local habitats and biological diversity of wildlife in IRES. Proper IRES management should involve a better knowledge of species’ flow requirements, as well as the preservation or restoration of natural flow regimes that ensure the functions of both aquatic and terrestrial ecological refuges.

15. How do low-abundance taxa affect river biomonitoring? Exploring the response of different macroinvertebrate-based indices

Abstract: The contribution of rare taxa to aquatic bioassessments remains a subject of debate, and generates contrasting positions among researchers. Very little is known about the effect of low-abundance taxa (LAT) for calculating both single and multimetric macroinvertebrate-based indices, as well as the ecological status classification. In this study, we aimed to: i) identify the aquatic macroinvertebrates that need special attention during index applications given their low abundance; ii) analyse the effect of excluding LAT on single (IBMWP and IASPT) and multimetric (STAR_ICMi) biological indices; and iii) investigate the influence of LAT on river ecological status assessments. To this end, two different river basins in SE Spain and N Italy with contrasting climatic conditions and river types were selected. Our results showed that almost all the taxa at the family level can act as low-abundance taxa. In particular, the LAT belonged mainly to orders Diptera, Trichoptera, Coleoptera, Gastropoda and Hemiptera. The IndVal analysis stressed Tabanidae, Cordulegasteridae and Hydroptilidae as the most characteristic low-abundance families in the Spanish data set, while Dryopidae and Athericidae were identified mostly in N Italy. Excluding LAT affected the studied index values and the resulting bioassessment classification, except for the IASPT index. Loss of the entire LAT pool reduced the ecological status for 78% of the samples for the IBMWP index. Changing took place in 41% of the samples when considering the STAR_ICM index. Relevant changes were detected even when considering loss of 50% of the LAT, especially with the IBMWP index. Similar values and patterns were obtained in each considered quality class and river type. Our results provide useful information about controversial taxa and stress the significance of LAT in river biomonitoring. Excluding LAT is discouraged, although different responses according to the considered index were detected. The IBMWP index always obtained lower values (coupled mainly with an underestimation of ecological classes), while STAR_ICMi and, especially the IASPT index, were less affected by excluding LAT. Paying special attention to all the protocol application stages is recommended, with emphasis placed when using the IBMWP index.

17. Exploring the Capacity of Water Framework Directive Indices to Assess Ecosystem Services in Fluvial and Riparian Systems:Towards a Second Implementation Phase

Abstract: We explored the capacity of the biological and hydromorphological indices used in the Water Framework Directive (WFD) to assess ecosystem services by evaluating the ecological status of Spanish River Basins. This analysis relies on an exhaustive bibliography review which showed scientific evidence of the interlinkages between some ecosystem services and different hydromorphological and biological elements which have been used as indices in the WFD. Our findings indicate that, of a total of 38 ecosystem services analyzed, biological and hydromorphological indices can fully evaluate four ecosystem services. In addition, 18 ecosystem services can be partly evaluated by some of the analyzed indices, while 11 are not related with the indices. While Riparian Forest Quality was the index that was able to assess the largest number of ecosystem services (N = 12), the two indices of macrophytes offered very poor guarantees. Finally, biological indices related to diatoms and aquatic invertebrates and the Fluvial Habitat Index can be related with 7, 6, and 6 ecosystem services, respectively. Because the WFD indices currently used in Spain are not able to assess most of the ecosystem services analyzed, we suggest that there is potential to develop the second phase of the WFD implementation taking this approach into consideration. The incorporation of the ecosystem services approach into the WFD could provide the framework for assess the impacts of human activities on the quality of fluvial ecosystems and could give insights for water and watershed management in order to guarantee the delivery of multiple ecosystem services.
