Continental-scale decrease in net primary productivity in streams due to climate warming. Nature Geoscience. 11(6): 415-420. doi:https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-018-0125-5
An increase in stream temperature leads to a convergence of metabolic balance, overall decline in net ecosystem productivity, and higher CO2 emissions from streams, according to analyses of temperature sensitivity of stream metabolism across six biomes.
