气候变化正在推动全球许多冰川变薄和退缩。山区河流融冰量的减少正在改变其物理化学特征，进而改变水生群落。由于冰川河流具有较强的大气-冰冻圈联系、多种分类类群的高生物多样性以及对特有物种的重要保护意义，因此可以作为研究气候变化对生态系统影响的模式系统。从现有知识的综合，我们开发了一个新的概念的理解，减少冰川覆盖如何影响生物体跨越多个营养群。尽管大型无脊椎动物对冰川退缩的反应已经得到了很好的描述，但我们表明，关于生物膜、微型无脊椎动物和脊椎动物分类群的信息仍然相对缺乏。加强对整个河流食物网的了解将改善对河流生态系统对冰川消融反应的预测，同时提供识别和保护更广泛的敏感和受威胁物种的潜力。
Climate change is driving the thinning and retreat of many glaciers globally. Reductions of ice-melt inputs to mountain rivers are changing their physicochemical characteristics and, in turn, aquatic communities. Glacier-fed rivers can serve as model systems for investigations of climate-change effects on ecosystems because of their strong atmospheric–cryospheric links, high biodiversity of multiple taxonomic groups, and significant conservation interest concerning endemic species. From a synthesis of existing knowledge, we develop a new conceptual understanding of how reducing glacier cover affects organisms spanning multiple trophic groups. Although the response of macroinvertebrates to glacier retreat has been well described, we show that there remains a relative paucity of information for biofilm, microinvertebrate, and vertebrate taxa. Enhanced understanding of whole river food webs will improve the prediction of river-ecosystem responses to deglaciation while offering the potential to identify and protect a wider range of sensitive and threatened species.
