- Fish assemblages respond to altered flow regimes via ecological filtering of life history strategies (2013, background): “…to ‘legitimise’ rivers as water users has resulted in a move to find compromises in dam management to meet both human and ecosystem water needs (Arthington et al., 2010) through the provisioning of ‘environmental flows’ (Arthington et al., 2006) and large-scale flood events (Konrad et al., 2011).”
- Multiscale effects of flow regime and habitat and their interaction on fish assemblage structure in eastern Australia (2007, methodology): “We assessed the overall performance of the neural network models by calculating the degree of concordance between predicted and observed fish assemblages (defined by species presence–absence, relative abundance, and biomass) using the Bray–Curtis similarity coefficient (Krebs 1999).”
- Mechanistic effects of low-flow hydrology on riverine ecosystems: ecological principles and consequences of alteration (2012, methodology): “For example, environmental flow methods are used primarily to identify relationships between flow characteristics and patterns or processes in river ecosystems (Arthington et al. 2006).”
- Ethics and Water Governance (2013, background): “Negotiating social and ecological water uses requires revisiting the fit of empirical standards with changing systems (Dyson et al. 2003, Arthington et al. 2006, King and Brown 2006) and acknowledging that we have little or no data for scientifically establishing environmental flows on many…”
- Safe and just Earth system boundaries (2023, neutral): “This definition builds on decades of conceptual development and research that has established the importance of the natural pattern of flows to support biodiversity, healthy aquatic ecosystems and the ecosystem services that they provide (Poff et al. 1997, 2010; Arthington et al. 2006).”
- The Diversity of Life in African Freshwaters: Under Water, Under Threat: An Analysis of the Status and Distribution of Freshwater Species throughout Mainland Africa (2011, methodology): “While new and innovative strategies to develop regionally-specifi c environmental water allocations (or e-fl ows) are being developed (Arthington et al. 2006, 2010; Poff et al. 2010), including holistic methods used in IUCN AFR2011_pp02-31_chapter 1_background.indd 10 4/3/11 18:46:22 C H A P T E R…”
- Process-Based Principles for Restoring River Ecosystems (2010, background): “…management system make it impossible to maintain the full spectrum of naturally occurring flows in a river, managing the release schedule of dams to support critical facets of the flow regimes is a strategy to mitigate the ecological effects of dams (Arthington et al. 2006, Richter et al. 2006).”
- Environmental flow enhances native fish spawning and recruitment in the Murray River, Australia (2009, background): “, 2003; Lytle and Poff, 2004), and therefore, providing more natural flow regimes in regulated rivers is seen as one potential restorationmeasures (Marchetti andMoyle, 2001; Arthington et al., 2006).”
- Global alteration of freshwaters: influences on human and environmental well-being (2011, methodology): “Further, there are now quantitative methods available for allocating water among users, including the environment (e.g., Arthington et al. 2006, 2010 ).”
