Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Rivers.

This document discusses the importance of rivers in supporting biodiversity and ecosystem services. It highlights the need for integrated approaches to river basin management in order to maintain water quality and quantity. The document also addresses the impact of anthropogenic activities on rivers, such as damming and pollution, which have led to habitat destruction and reduced aquatic biodiversity. The text presents several research studies that explore different aspects of river ecosystem services, including fish restocking, wastewater treatment, genetic diversity, antibiotic resistance, harmful algal blooms, and mine drainage remediation. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and stakeholder involvement in ecosystem management. [Extracted from the article]
