    • Assessing the benefits of forested riparian zones: A qualitative index of riparian integrity is positively associated with ecological status in European streams 

      Burdon, Francis J.; Ramberg, Ellinor; Sargac, Jasmina; Forio, Marie Anne Eurie; de Saeyer, Nancy; Mutinova, Petra Thea; Moe, Therese Fosholt; Pavelescu, Mihaela Oprina; Dinu, Valentin; Cazacu, Constantin; Witing, Felix; Kupilas, Benjamin; Grandin, Ulf; Volk, Martin; Rîşnoveanu, Geta; Goethals, Peter; Friberg, Nikolai; Johnson, Richard K.; McKie, Brendan G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      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 ...

    • A Bayesian Belief Network learning tool integrates multi-scale effects of riparian buffers on stream invertebrates 

      Forio, Marie Anne Eurie; Burdon, Francis J.; De Troyer, Niels; Lock, Koen; Witing, Felix; Baert, Lotte; De Saeyer, Nancy; Rîșnoveanu, Geta; Popescu, Cristina; Kupilas, Benjamin; Friberg, Nikolai; Boets, Pieter; Johnson, Richard K.; Volk, Martin; McKie, Brendan G.; Goethals, Peter L.M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Riparian forest buffers have multiple benefits for biodiversity and ecosystem services in both freshwater and terrestrial habitats but are rarely implemented in water ecosystem management, partly reflecting the lack of ...

    • Benthic Diatom Communities in Urban Streams and the Role of Riparian Buffers 

      Mutinova, Petra Thea; Kahlert, Maria; Kupilas, Benjamin; McKie, Brendan G.; Friberg, Nikolai; Burdon, Francis J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Urbanization impacts stream ecosystems globally through degraded water quality, altered hydrology, and landscape disturbances at the catchment and riparian scales, causing biodiversity losses and altered system functioning. ...

    • Comparing effects of microplastic exposure, FPOM resource quality, and consumer density on the response of a freshwater particle feeder and associated ecosystem processes 

      Kong, Ze Hui; Burdon, Francis J.; Truchy, Amélie; Bundschuh, Mirco; Futter, Martyn N.; Hurley, Rachel; McKie, Brendan G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) is an important basal resource in stream ecosystems for deposit- and filter-feeding macroinvertebrates (collectively ‘particle feeders’). Microplastics (MP) share many characteristics ...

    • Forested Riparian Zones Provide Important Habitat for Fish in Urban Streams 

      Kupilas, Benjamin; Burdon, Francis J.; Thaulow, Jens; Håll, Johnny; Mutinova, Petra Thea; Forio, Marie Anne Eurie; Witing, Felix; Rîșnoveanu, Geta; Goethals, Peter; McKie, Brendan G.; Friberg, Nikolai (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Riparian zones form a boundary between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, with disproportionate influences on food web dynamics and ecosystem functioning in both habitats. However, riparian boundaries are frequently ...

    • Riparian Vegetation Structure Influences Terrestrial Invertebrate Communities in an Agricultural Landscape 

      Popescu, Cristina; Oprina-Pavelescu, Mihaela; Dinu, Valentin; Cazacu, Constantin; Burdon, Francis J.; Forio, Marie Anne Eurie; Kupilas, Benjamin; Friberg, Nikolai; Goethals, Peter; McKie, Brendan G.; Rîșnoveanu, Geta (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Stream and terrestrial ecosystems are intimately connected by riparian zones that support high biodiversity but are also vulnerable to human impacts. Landscape disturbances, overgrazing, and diffuse pollution of agrochemicals ...

    • Small Patches of Riparian Woody Vegetation Enhance Biodiversity of Invertebrates 

      Forio, Marie Anne Eurie; De Troyer, Niels; Lock, Koen; Witing, Felix; Baert, Lotte; de Saeyer, Nancy; Risnoveanu, Geta; Popescu, Cristina; Burdon, Francis J.; Kupilas, Benjamin; Friberg, Nikolai; Boets, Pieter; Volk, Martin; McKie, Brendan G.; Goethals, Peter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Patches of riparian woody vegetation potentially help mitigate environmental impacts of agriculture and safeguard biodiversity. We investigated the effects of riparian forest on invertebrate diversity in coupled stream-riparian ...

    • The Structure of Riparian Vegetation in Agricultural Landscapes Influences Spider Communities and Aquatic-Terrestrial Linkages 

      Ramberg, Ellinor; Burdon, Francis J.; Sargac, Jasmina; Kupilas, Benjamin; Risnoveanu, Geta; Lau, Danny C P; Johnson, Richard K.; McKie, Brendan G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      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 ...
