Agriculture impairs stream ecosystem functioning in a tropical catchment
(Elsevier, 2020-11-25)
The expansion of agriculture is particularly worrying in tropical regions of the world, where native forests are being replaced by crops at alarming rates, with severe consequences for biodiversity and ecosystems. However, ...
Impacts of Detritivore Diversity Loss on Instream Decomposition Are Greatest in the Tropics
(Springer, 2021-06-17)
The relationship between detritivore diversity and decomposition can provide information on how biogeochemical cycles are affected by ongoing rates of extinction, but such evidence has come mostly from local studies and ...
High Sensitivity of Invertebrate Detritivores from Tropical Streams to Different Pesticides
(Elsevier, 2021-03-31)
Freshwater organisms are often sensitive to pesticides, but their sensitivity varies across different taxa and with pesticide type and action mode, as shown by multiple acute toxicity tests. Such variability hampers ...
Temperature Sensitivity of Microbial Litter Decomposition in Freshwaters: Role of Leaf Litter Quality and Environmental Characteristics
(Springer, 2023-05)
Ongoing global warming is expected to alter temperature-dependent processes. Nevertheless, how co-occurring local drivers will influence temperature sensitivity of plant litter decomposition in lotic ecosystems remains ...
