Sensitivity of river ecosystems to global change: Assessing land management strategies to mitigate the combined impacts of climate warming and land use changes in cold temperate regions

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

How climate-induced warming will interact with future land use changes remains largely unknown. Most studies that have attempted to forecast the effect of climatic changes on hydrology and water quality consider that watershed configuration would not be altered. However, it is likely that land use will continue to evolve over the next decades and that it will have an important influence on future watershed hydrology and water quality. Future climatic changes, combined with land use modifications and land management practices will create complex interactions and feedbacks in aquatic ecosystems.
