D2.2 - R package for the simulation model of meta-community dynamics

The model of metacommunity dynamics in drying river networks (see D2.3) was encapsulated in the R package “cantal.” It allows to simulate a wide range of drying scenarios, potential interspecific heterogeneity in dispersal abilities and resistance to drying. It can also simulate varying scenarios of drying events based on empirical data.

D2.5 - Meta-community and trait database at the focal DRN scale for CELAC

The purpose of this deliverable is to provide the databases of fish and aquatic macroinvertebrate diversity, and resilience/resistance traits biota exhibit to cope with drying. Databases are from three DRN located in countries that belong to the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) that are part of the DRYvER project. These databases will be used to make comparisons with data from the European Union (EU) DRNs to conduct a global metacommunity analysis.

D2.6 - A report on meta-community spatio-temporal models and meta-community patterns across the six focal DRNs in Europe

This deliverable report provides an in-depth analysis of the factors influencing the structure of aquatic metacommunities in Drying River Networks (DRNs). It examines the influences of environmental factors, drying-related fragmentation, and network-scale spatial variables on algal, fungal, bacterial, macroinvertebrate and fish metacommunities in six DRNs across Europe.

D3.1 - River network meta-ecosystem model

One of the main objectives of DRYvER is to develop a dynamic meta-system framework. To help conceptualize such a framework we built a simplified mechanistic model, which will allow us to test the effects of drying on resource and organism dynamics in artificial river-networks.

D3.2 - A report on an R-package for river network meta-ecosystem modelling

One of the main objectives of DRYvER is to “develop a dynamic meta-system framework that catalyses our understanding of the effects of drying on river network biodiversity and key ecosystem functions”. To help conceptualize such a framework DRYvER built a simplified mechanistic model, which allowes for testing the effects of drying on resource and organism dynamics in an artificial river-network. This report contains the details of developing this model.

D3.3 - Report on DOM quantity, composition and decomposition across 6 DRNs

Here, we report on the patterns of three DOM response variables: quantity, composition and decomposition rates in the 6 drying river networks (DRNs) of the DRYvER project. We present DRN-specific spatial and temporal patterns, including metrics that describe spatial or temporal turnover.

D3.5 - Biodiversity-production relationships in periphyton and ecosystem

This report contains the details of a study in which DRYvER analysed river ecosystem metabolism across six DRNs located in Europe, following a long environmental gradient (from southern Spain to Finland) and considering three critical hydrological phases that are expected to influence river functioning (pre-dry, dry and post-rewetting).
