• A trait-based approach to assess climate change sensitivity of freshwater invertebrates across Swedish ecoregions 

      Sandin, Leonard; Schmidt-Kloiber, Astrid; Svenning, Jens-Christian; Jeppesen, Erik; Friberg, Nikolai (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Freshwater habitats and organisms are among the most threatened on Earth, and freshwater ecosystems have been subject to large biodiversity losses. We developed a Climate Change Sensitivity (CCS) indicator based on trait ...
    • Contrasting long-term trends in juvenile abundance of a widespread cold-water salmonid along a latitudinal gradient: effects of climate, stream size and migration strategy 

      Donadi, Serena; Näslund, Joacim; Sandin, Leonard; Sers, Berit; Vasemägi, Anti; Degerman, Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      A changing climate reshapes the range distribution of many organisms, and species with relatively low thermal optima, like many salmonids, are increasingly expected to face local population extinctions at lower latitudes. ...
    • From meta-system theory to the sustainable management of rivers in the Anthropocene 

      Cid, Núria; Erős, Tibor; Heino, Jani; Singer, Gabriel; Jähnig, Sonja C.; Cañedo-Argüelles, Miguel; Bonada, Núria; Sarremejane, Romain; Mykrä, Heikki; Sandin, Leonard; Paloniemi, Riikka; Varumo, Liisa; Datry, Thibault (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Regional-scale ecological processes, such as the spatial flows of material, energy, and organisms, are fundamental for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in river networks. Yet these processes remain largely ...
    • Gaps in current Baltic Sea environmental monitoring – Science versus management perspectives 

      Kahlert, Maria; Eilola, Kari; Mack, Leoni; Meissner, Kristian; Sandin, Leonard; Strömberg, Helena; Uusitalo, Laura; Viktorsson, Lena; Liess, Antonia (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Legislations and commitments regulate Baltic Sea status assessments and monitoring. These assessments suffer from monitoring gaps that need prioritization. We used three sources of information; scientific articles, project ...
    • Interactive effects of land use, river regulation, and climate on a key recreational fishing species in temperate and boreal streams 

      Donadi, Serena; Degerman, Erik; McKie, Brendan G.; Jones, Douglas; Holmgren, Kerstin; Sandin, Leonard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Numerous anthropogenic stressors, including river regulation, excess loadings of nutrients and sediment, channelisation, as well as thermal and hydrological stressors driven by climate change impact riverine ecosystems ...
    • Landscape features control river's confluences water quality and tributary fish composition 

      Bowes, Rachel; Bergman, Eva; Donadi, Serena; Greenberg, Larry; Sandin, Leonard; Lind, Lovisa (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Rivers networks represent hierarchical dendritic habitats within terrestrial landscapes and differences in connectivity and land use influence dispersal, and consequently biodiversity patterns. We, therefore, measured ...
    • Overvåking av referanseelver - Utprøving av klassifiseringssystemet for basisovervåking i referansevassdrag 

      Sandin, Leonard; Thrane, Jan-Erik; Persson, Jonas; Kile, Maia Røst; Bækkelie, Knut Andreas; Myrvold, Knut Marius; Garmo, Øyvind Aaberg; Grung, Merete; Calidonio, Jose-Luis; de Wit, Heleen; Moe, Therese Fosholt (NIVA-rapport;7640, Research report, 2021)
      Overvåkingsprogrammet for referanseelver har pågått siden 2017, og 2020 var andre år med undersøkelser i de 33 vannforekomstene som første gang ble undersøkt i 2018. Vannforekomstene dekker mange ulike elvetyper i flere ...
    • The recovery of European freshwater biodiversity has come to a halt 

      Haase, Peter; Bowler, Diana Elizabeth; Baker, Nathan J.; Bonada, Núria; Domisch, Sami; Marquez, Jaime R. Garcia Marquez; Heino, Jani; Hering, Daniel; Jähnig, Sonja C.; Schmidt-Kloiber, Astrid; Stubbington, Rachel; Altermatt, Florian; Álvarez-Cabria, Mario; Amatulli, Giuseppe; Angeler, David G.; Archambaud-Suard, Gaït; Jorrín, Iñaki Arrate; Aspin, Thomas; Azpiroz, Iker; Bañares, Iñaki; Ortiz, José Barquín; Bodin, Christian L.; Bonacina, Luca; Bottarin, Roberta; Cañedo-Argüelles, Miguel; Csabai, Zoltán; Datry, Thibault; De Eyto, Elvira; Dohet, Alain; Dörflinger, Gerald; Drohan, Emma; Eikland, Knut Andreas; England, Judy; Eriksen, Tor E.; Evtimova, Vesela; Feio, Maria J.; Ferréol, Martial; Floury, Mathieu; Forcellini, Maxence; Forio, Marie Anne Eurie; Fornaroli, Riccardo; Friberg, Nikolai; Fruget, Jean-François; Georgieva, Galia; Goethals, Peter; Graça, Manuel A. S.; Graf, Wolfram; House, Andy; Huttunen, Kaisa-Leena; Jensen, Thomas Correll; Pilotto, Francesca; Rasmussen, Jes Jessen; Sandin, Leonard; Velle, Gaute (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Owing to a long history of anthropogenic pressures, freshwater ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to biodiversity loss1. Mitigation measures, including wastewater treatment and hydromorphological restoration, have ...
