Ongoing increases in air temperature and changing precipitation patterns are altering water temperatures and flow regimes in lotic freshwater systems, and these changes are expected to continue in the coming century. Freshwater taxa are responding to these changes at all levels of biological organization. The generation of appropriate hydrologic and water temperature projections is critical to accurately predict the impacts of climate change on freshwater systems in the coming decade. The goal of this review is to provide an overview of how changes in climate affect hydrologic processes and how climate-induced changes in freshwater habitat can impact the life histories and traits of individuals, and the distributions of freshwater populations and biodiversity. Projections of biological responses during the coming century will depend on accurately representing the spatially varying sensitivity of physical systems to changes in climate, as well as acknowledging the spatially varying sensitivity of freshwate...

气候变化对流动淡水系统生物多样性的潜在影响

气温的持续升高和降水模式的变化正在改变淡水系统的水温和流态，预计这些变化将在下个世纪继续下去。淡水类群在生物组织的各个层面都对这些变化做出反应。生成适当的水文和水温预测对于准确预测未来十年气候变化对淡水系统的影响至关重要。本综述的目的是概述气候变化如何影响水文过程，以及气候引起的淡水栖息地变化如何影响个体的生活史和特征，以及淡水种群和生物多样性的分布。
