| Abstract: | Ecosystem processes are the physical, chemical and biological processes that link water dependent plants and animals with their environment. River ecosystems are influenced by a range of factors that affect their health. Water quality characteristics such as temperature and dissolved oxygen impact the availability of refuges for fauna during drought, or the growth rate of cyanobacteria (blue green algae) leading to algal blooms. Changes to basal resources like nutrients, and productivity are crucial to aquatic wildlife such as fish, frogs and birds as they influence food availability, breeding, recruitment, dispersal and survival |
