Abstract:Fluvial ecosystems are vital for biodiversity and human welfare but face increasing threats from flow intermittency caused by climate change and other human activities. To better understand drivers of flow intermittency, we analyzed long-term and spatially explicit river drying data from the Rio Grande, a regulated river in the North American desert southwest that was historically perennial but is now persistently intermittent. We examined the spatial structure and influences of precipitation, temperature, in-… Show more
