Freshwater ecosystems are the most vulnerable due to anthropogenic
activities.  Because of this, it is important to understand the
environmental patterns of these systems to protect biodiversity loss and
maintain ecosystem services. Intermittent or non-perennial streams—those
that periodically dry and re-initiate flow—are highly dynamic ecosystems
driven by complex interactions among climatic, hydrological, geological,
and biological factors. Variations in precipitation, groundwater input,
wastewater treatment plant schedules, catchment topography, and
evapotranspiration impact their alternating wet and dry phases, shaping
distinct ecological structure and functions that affect the ecosystem
services. During dry periods, organic matter and nutrients accumulate and
biological organisms get restricted to water pockets, while flow resumption
triggers pulses of connectivity, nutrient export, and biological
reactivation. These flow transitions create strong spatial and temporal
gradients that influence community composition, habitat structure, and
ecosystem functioning. As such, intermittent streams serve as critical
sentinels of environmental change, reflecting both the resilience and
vulnerability of freshwater systems in response to climatic variability and
land-use pressures. In this webinar, we aim to highlight newly identified
patterns and drivers shaping non-perennial freshwater ecosystems, offering
valuable insights to inform effective conservation and management
strategies.

This webinar is hosted by the Symposium on Urban Stream Ecology
<https://www.urbanstreamecology.org/>. The goal of the webinar series is to
reach a broader audience than those able to participate in the symposium
(which only occurs every 3 years) and to support conversations on topics
important to the field of urban stream ecology. We aim to have 3-4 webinars
per year and welcome your suggestions for future topics.
