“…Within the published literature, very few studies have specifically reported rates during the winter or early spring from larger rivers (e.g., Escoffier et al., 2018; Marcarelli et al., 2010; Mejia et al., 2019; Uehlinger, 2006; Uehlinger & Naegeli, 1998; Uehlinger et al., 2000), but similar to headwater streams, most were not collected with the intent of exploring winter metabolism. Seasonal metabolism studies in large rivers tend to either occur in regions with infrequent or no ice cover during the winter season (e.g., Dodds et al., 2013; Hall et al., 2016; Hart, 2013; McTammany et al., 2003; Ochs et al., 2013; Roach et al., 2014; Smith & Kaushal, 2015; Sobotka & Phelps, 2017; Val et al., 2016) or exclude winter (e.g., O'Connor et al., 2012; Snyder & Minshall, 2005). Like for headwaters, studies that report winter metabolic rates in large rivers typically show that wintertime GPP is lower than other seasonal values (Hosen et al., 2019; Marcarelli et al., 2010; Uehlinger, 2006; Uehlinger & Naegeli, 1998).…”

Many of the world's rivers are ice covered for a portion of the year. For instance, the largest database of river ice cover documents that more than half of all of Earth's large rivers are seasonally ice covered (Yang et al., 2020). Freshwater systems are losing ice rapidly, however (Sharma et al., 2019); global scale predictions of river ice cover show that by 2100, average ice duration will decrease by 16.7 days, decreasing linearly with increases in annual mean temperature (Yang et al., 2020). These global scale patterns are further confirmed by in situ river ice records (de Rham et al.

“…Low flows generally enhance primary production through increased light availability and nutrient concentrations because of decreased dilution and increased substrate stability, as well as because of reduced shear stress on periphyton and enhanced macrophyte establishment (e.g., Acuña et al 2010, Marcarelli et al 2010, Val et al 2016). In the opposite response direction, floods generally result in decreased primary production because substrate stability decreases, causing higher turbidity that may reduce light conditions (e.g., Uehlinger 2000, Morgan et al 2006, Roberts et al 2007, Leggieri et al 2013, Val et al 2016. Furthermore, scouring reduces the abundance, biomass, and diversity of macrophytes and algae, especially periphyton (Riis and Biggs 2003, Wellnitz and Rader 2003.…”

“…These 3 factors are also important determinants of algal and benthic assemblage structure (Poff et al 1990, Schofield et al 2004). Increased flow may enhance respiration through the input of organic matter, whereas the transport capacity of organic matter decreases during low-flow events (e.g., Roberts et al 2007, Val et al 2016. In other streams, a small reduction in respiration has been observed after floods, and an increase has been observed after droughts (Uehlinger et al 2003, Acuña et al 2004, Uehlinger 2006.…”

“…The water conservation function plays a crucial role in improving the hydrological conditions, regulating the water cycle, optimizing water quality and preventing sedimentation of rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Both human society and economic development depend on the ecosystem services provided by water resources, and their demands for water resources are increasing (Gleick, 2018; Liu et al, 2017; Montoya et al, 2016; Pedro‐Monzonís et al, 2015; Val et al, 2016). Climate change and land use are two main factors that affect the function of ecosystem services (Fu et al, 2015; Schröter et al, 2005).…”

The Weihe River Basin has the worst soil erosion in the Loess Plateau. As the largest tributary of the Yellow River, the water conservation capacity in the Weihe River Basin is of great significance to the Yellow River Basin and the Loess Plateau. In this study, the volume of the water conservation in the Weihe River Basin is estimated based on the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs model, and the water conservation capacity of the basin is measured after excluding the influence of rainfall and evapotranspiration. The results show that from 1987 to 2019, the water conservation in the Weihe River Basin showed an overall trend of decreasing first and then increasing. The increasing trend of water conservation is greater than that of water production. The water conservation in the Weihe River Basin decreased to the lowest in 2005 and increased to the highest in 2019. Spatially, the water conservation volume is large in the south and west and small in the north and east. The water conservation volumes increase in the middle reaches of the Weihe River, the source of the Weihe River and the Jinghe River Basin. The overall capacity of the water yield and water conservation in the Weihe River Basin shows the same increasing trend. The projects of returning farms to forests and ecological management contribute to improving the water conservation capacity in the Weihe River Basin.
