Abstract:River flows change on timescales ranging from minutes to millennia.
These variations influence fundamental functions of ecosystems,
including biogeochemical fluxes, aquatic habitat, and human society.
Efforts to describe temporal variation in river flow—i.e., flow
regime—have resulted in hundreds of unique descriptors, complicating
interpretation and identification of global drivers of flow dynamics.
Here, we used a cross-disciplinary analytical approach to investigate
two related questions: 1. Is there a low-… Show more
