Abstract

Rivers are the lifelines of our planet. We depend on them for drinking water and food production, and they are home to many plants and animals. Unfortunately, rivers are under pressure from stressors like increasing temperatures, pollution, and habitat destruction. We often know how a single stressor impacts a river, but when more than one stressor is present at the same time, the consequences are often unpredictable. To protect our rivers now and in the future, we must understand what happens in the rivers when multiple stressors are present at the same time. However, it is difficult to understand what multiple stressors are doing to aquatic life by just observing a river or doing a laboratory experiment. In this article, you will learn how experimental miniature streams can help us to investigate the consequences of multiple stressors on rivers.
