How flood and low flow duration influences early instream vegetation community development: implications for restoration Open
Flow regime is a key driver of instream vegetation communities and is often altered through regulation or stormwater runoff. These altered flow regimes influence flooding and low flows, which are important for instream plant recruitment fr…

The hydrological effects of dispersed stormwater management at the catchment scale Open
Urban stormwater drainage alters stream flow regimes. Even small rainfall events produce higher quickflow volumes and peak flows from catchments drained using traditional stormwater management, degrading stream ecosystems. Stormwater Contr…

Human activities shape global patterns of decomposition rates in rivers Open
Rivers and streams contribute to global carbon cycling by decomposing immense quantities of terrestrial plant matter. However, decomposition rates are highly variable and large-scale patterns and drivers of this process remain poorly under…

Riverine aquatic plants trap propagules and fine sediment: Implications for ecosystem engineering and management under contrasting land uses Open
Plants in streams act as physical ecosystem engineers, both influencing and responding to hydrogeomorphic processes such as fine sediment retention. Instream vegetation may also influence propagule dispersal and retention, shaping plant co…

Catchment-scale hydrology limits the benefits of geomorphic complexity for instream vegetation communities Open
Improving instream habitat complexity is a common stream restoration approach despite often limited improvements to stream biota with catchment-scale stressors such as altered hydrology thought to be more important. Instream vegetation is …

Headwater streams in an urbanizing world Open
Headwater streams are critical to the integrity of the stream network; yet they are being rapidly degraded, channelised or lost through land-cover and land-use change, particularly in urbanizing areas. We refined the definition of a headwa…

Dispersed Urban‐Stormwater Control Improved Stream Water Quality in a Catchment‐Scale Experiment Open
Traditional urban drainage degrades receiving waters. Alternative approaches have potential to protect downstream waters, but widespread adoption requires robust demonstration of their feasibility and effectiveness. We conducted a catchmen…

Linking stormwater control performance to stream ecosystem outcomes: Incorporating a performance metric into effective imperviousness Open
Stormwater control measures, such as raingardens, tanks, or wetlands, are often employed to mitigate the deleterious effects of urban stormwater drainage on stream ecosystems. However, performance metrics for control measures, most commonl…

Dispersed urban-stormwater control improved stream water quality in a catchment-scale experiment Open
Traditional approaches to urban drainage degrade receiving waters. Alternative approaches have potential to protect downstream waters and provide other benefits to cities, including greater water security. Their widespread adoption require…

Toward cross‐realm management of coastal urban ecosystems Open
Urbanization and its resulting environmental stressors are often managed within terrestrial, freshwater, or marine realms separately. This is problematic for the many cities situated at the intersection between these realms, because stress…

Global patterns and drivers of ecosystem functioning in rivers and riparian zones Open
An experiment in >1000 river and riparian sites found spatial patterns and controls of carbon processing at the global scale.

A question of scale: the effects of catchment urbanisation and riparian vegetation on organic carbon processing in small streams Open
Urbanisation has severe impacts on stream hydrology, biotic integrity and water quality. To date however, few studies have assessed the effects on ecosystem processes such as organic matter dynamics. Organic matter represents a vital basal…
