  • Water scarcity challenges water security

    Open AccessSergi Sabater, José Barquín et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Water scarcity is an escalating environmental challenge, particularly in semi-arid regions like Spain, where balancing human and ecosystem needs is critical for sustainable development. Freshwater ecosystems are vital for biodiversity, water security, and economic systems, but often lose protection during droughts. Spain, largely under a Mediterranean climate, shows strong interdependence between ecological and socioeconomic systems, with agricul…

  • Synthesis reveals heterogeneous changes in the metabolism and emission of greenhouse gases of drying rivers

    Open AccessMargot Sepp, Juan David González‐Trujillo et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    More than half of the world’s rivers experience occasional, seasonal, or permanent drying, and this may increase because of climate change. Drying, i.e. severe reduction in water flow even leading to streambed desiccation, can have a profound impact on the available aquatic habitat, biodiversity, and functions of rivers. Yet, to date, it is unclear whether similar drying events in comparable climate zones result in similar changes in ecosystem pr…

  • Identifying regions vulnerable to habitat degradation under future irrigation scenarios

    Open AccessMarta Terrado, Sergi Sabater et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    The loss and degradation of natural habitats is a primary cause of biodiversity decline. The increasing impacts of climate and land use change affect water availability, ultimately decreasing agricultural production. Areas devoted to irrigation have been increased to compensate this reduction, causing habitat and biodiversity losses, especially in regions undergoing severe water stress. These effects might intensify under global change, probably …

  • Global pressures, specific responses

    Open AccessJoan Artigas, Renato Azevedo Matias Silvano et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    We assessed the effects of nutrient enrichment on three stream ecosystems running through distinct biomes (Mediterranean, Pampean and Andean). We increased the concentrations of N and P in the stream water 1.6–4-fold following a before–after control–impact paired series (BACIPS) design in each stream, and evaluated changes in the biomass of bacteria, primary producers, invertebrates and fish in the enriched (E) versus control (C) reaches after nu…

  • Examining the Demand for Ecosystem Services

  • The Llobregat

    Open AccessVicenç Acuña, Sergi Sabater et al.EDITORBOOKLlobregat2012

    The Llobregat belongs to the most thoroughly studied rivers in Europe and is a paradigm of the confluence of human and natural disturbances in a single basin. Because of its location in a very densely populated region and its Mediterranean character, the Llobregat supports a mixture of irregular flow, water abstraction, excess nutrients, mining debris, and a wide array of pollutants. The aquatic organisms strive to survive in a dramatically chang…
