“…These models have been enhanced by the advances in landscape methods for studying freshwater ecosystems (Johnson & Host, 2010;E. However, hierarchical approaches incorporating climate, hydrologic, hydraulic, water quality, and/or physical habitat models have been suggested to improve the current models' predictability, interpretability, and accuracy (Daneshvar, Nejadhashemi, Herman, & Abouali, 2017;Einheuser et al, 2012;Einheuser, Nejadhashemi, Wang, et al, 2013;Guse et al, 2015;Holguin-Gonzalez et al, 2014;Holguin-Gonzalez, Everaert, Boets, Galvis, & Goethals, 2013;Jähnig et al, 2012;Kail et al, 2015;Kennen, Kauffman, Ayers, Wolock, & Colarullo, 2008;Woznicki, Nejadhashemi, Tang, & Wang, 2016;Yi et al, 2017).
