#Alpine #temporary #ponds are not free from #human_impacts. New study in #Switzerland documents anthropogenic macrolitter in temporary ponds at 2478 m a.s.l., with #litter density linked to pond size and proximity to a restaurant. Find out more here: www.frontiersin.org/journals/env...

Frontiers | Alpine temporary ponds as overlooked sinks of anthropogenic macrolitter

Temporary ponds represent fragile habitats that host species of high ecological and conservation interest. High-altitude ponds, although often considered pri...

How does #urbanisation affect #biodiversity in #freshwater #ponds? New study found that urbanisation reshaped amphibian and macroinvertebrate communities but did not reduce richness. Temperature, pH and canopy cover were strong predictors for several groups. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Urbanisation Restructures but Does Not Reduce Freshwater Pond Biodiversity

Aim Urbanisation is a dominant driver of landscape change leading to widespread displacement, degradation and fragmentation of habitat for native species and numerous studies have documented loss of...

The Guardian view on ponds: these freshwater havens need a law of their own | Editorial

Frogs; newts; small fish such as minnows and sticklebacks; dragonflies; water boatmen and water snails: these are just a few of the hundreds of animal species that make their homes in Britain’s ponds alongside diverse wetland plants, some of which are endangered. Yet while small bodies of water are cherished by hobbyists as well as scientists, they have startlingly few protections – even at a time when the polluted state of rivers, lakes and coastlines is a key focus of environmentalists. With a clean water bill expected soon, this official neglect of ponds should soon be consigned to the past. While rewilding projects have overseen the rediscovery of older “ghost ponds” as well as the creation of new, and householders are encouraged to create miniature ones in their gardens, charities including the specialist Freshwater Habitats Trust point to the growing body of international research that testifies to their ecological importance. In 1996 the first-ever national survey estimated that there were 228,900 ponds in Britain. Thirty years on would be an apt moment to grant them enhanced status. The decline of ponds is part of a wider story of damage to the UK’s waterways by a combination of intensive agriculture, building...
