Abstract Twenty‐five years of extensive water temperature data show regionally coherent warming to have occurred in Alpine rivers and streams at all altitudes, reflecting changes regional air temperature. Much this abruptly 1987/1988. For brown trout populations, the resulted an upward shift thermal habitat that was accelerated by increase incidence temperature‐dependent Proliferative Kidney Disease habitat's lower boundary. Because physical barriers restrict longitudinal migration mountain...
Lakes are often described as sentinels of global change. Phenomena like lake eutrophication, algal blooms, or reorganization in community composition belong to the most studied ecosystem regime shifts. However, although shifts have been well documented several lakes, a assessment prevalence is still missing, and, more general, factors altering stability status, missing. Here, we provide first and productivity 1,015 lakes worldwide using trophic state index (TSI) time series derived from...
Abstract. We present CAMELS-CH (Catchment Attributes and MEteorology for Large-sample Studies – Switzerland), a large-sample hydro-meteorological data set hydrologic Switzerland in central Europe. This domain covers 331 basins within neighboring countries. About one-third of the catchments are located Austria, France, Germany Italy. As an Alpine country, vast diversity landscapes, including mountainous environments, karstic regions, several strongly cultivated along with wide range...
Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly under threat as they confronted with multiple anthropogenic impairments. This calls for comprehensive management strategies to counteract, or even prevent, long-term impacts on habitats and their biodiversity, well ecological functions services. The basis the efficient effective conservation of any ecosystem is sufficient knowledge state system its response external influence factors. In freshwater ecosystems, information currently drawn from...
In the era of large-sample hydrology (LSH), there is still a lack in availability consistent data related to water quality. To address this gap, we introduce CAMELS-CH-Chem, dataset inspired by recently published CAMELS-Chem for contiguous United States. CAMELS-CH-Chem extends CAMELS-CH (Catchment Attributes and Meteorology Large-sample Studies Switzerland) integrating stream chemical parameters atmospheric deposition 115 monitoring stations across Switzerland. Spanning same period as...
Recently, a plethora of studies reporting insect declines has been published. Even though the common theme is decreasing richness, positive trends have also documented. Here, we analysed nationwide, systematic monitoring data on aquatic richness collected at 438 sites in Switzerland from 2010 to 2019. In addition taxonomic grouped taxa accordance with their ecological preferences and functional traits gain better understanding possible underlying mechanisms. We found that general, insects...
The majority of residents in low- and middle-income countries are served by onsite sanitation. Equitable access to sanitation, including emptying, collection, transport services for the accumulation faecal sludge remains a major challenge. Comprehensive information on service coverage mechanical emptying providers is lacking. purpose this study analyse spatial distribution identify areas without Kampala, Uganda. uses GIS (geographic systems) as tool real-time data based GPS (global...
Abstract In this paper, linear and spatial hedonic price models are applied to the housing market in Switzerland, covering all 26 cantons country over period 2005–2010. Besides structural house, neighborhood socioeconomic characteristics, we include a wide variety of new environmental characteristics related water examine their role explaining variation sales prices. These abundance, different types bodies, recreational function water, disamenity. Significant autocorrelation is found...
