title: Quantifying groundwater’s contribution to regional environmental flows in diverse hydrologic landscapes (data)

description: Growing recognition of the importance of ecosystem services to the development and management of water resources has spurred the development and application of environmental flows requirements. Despite the importance of groundwater in maintaining the freshwater ecosystem, groundwater is seldom taken into consideration in environmental flows allocation and management. In this study we develop two methods for estimating groundwater contribution to environmental flows: 1) a groundwater-centric method and 2) a surface water-centric method. The two methods are demonstrated using the western province of Canada, British Columbia as a case study. The framework presented in this study can be implemented across different spatial and temporal scales for different regions and globally, in data-scarce, hydrologically complex landscapes. The application of these methods can aid in a robust and holistic assessment of environmental flows, taking into account the often missing groundwater component.

title: Data on submerged aquatic vegetation and its water environment in Lake Saint-Pierre, Saint Lawrence River [2012-2016]
title: Données sur la végétation aquatique submergée et son milieu aquatique du Lac-Saint-Pierre, fleuve Saint-Laurent [2012-2016]

description: This dataset is the result of a large collaborative work lead by the GRIL from 2012 to 2015 on a submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) meadow located downstream of two agricultural tributaries (Saint-François and Yamaska rivers) in Lake Saint-Pierre, a fluvial lake of the Saint Lawrence River. The data describe plants (as rake biomass and echosounding) and their environment, including water chemistry, current velocity as well as light, temperature and instantaneous meteo. Only echosounding data are available in 2016 and sediments were collected in 2015. Data are organized as a relational database and the GRIL_LSP_database.png provides keys and links between tables as well as data format. Data are in the tables mesure_integree, mesure_spatiale, mesure_verticale, plante_biomass_taxon, plante_recolte, plante_in_situ. The other tables are metadata about spatiotemporal locations and reported measures. Additional data (e.g. zooplankton, sediments) should eventually be made available and associated to this overall GRIL dataset.

title: Data: Poor correlation between large-scale environmental flows violations and global freshwater biodiversity: implications for water resource management and the water planetary boundary

description: The freshwater ecosystems all over the world are degrading, such that maintaining environmental flow (EF) in river networks is critical to their preservation. The relationship between streamflow alterations and, respectively, EF violations, and freshwater biodiversity is well established at the scale of stream reaches or small basins (~&lt;100 km²). However, it is unclear if this relationship is robust at larger scales even though there are large-scale initiatives to legalize the EF requirement and EFs have been used in assessing a planetary boundary for freshwater. Therefore, this study intends to evaluate the relationship between EF violation and freshwater biodiversity at large basin scale (median area = 19,600 km2), globally-aggregated scales, and at freshwater ecoregions, and test the prevailing assumption of scalability of this relationship. Four EF violation indices (severity, frequency, the probability to shift to violated state, and probability to stay violated) and nine independent freshwater biodiversity indicators (calculated from observed biota data except one empirically derived from streamflow deviation) were used for correlation analysis. EF violations showed an inverse relationship with the streamflow-derived biodiversity indicator (MSAhy) at the level 5 HydroBASIN scale. However, no statistically significant negative relationship between environmental flows and freshwater biodiversity was found at the global or ecoregion scale except between the streamflow-derived biodiversity indicator (MSAhy) and all EF violation indices. While our results thus suggest that streamflow and EF may not be the main determinants of freshwater biodiversity, they do not preclude the existence of relationships with more holistic EF methods (e.g. including water temperature, water quality, intermittency, connectivity, etc.) or with other biodiversity data or metrics.

title: For Autistic Persons by Autistic Persons: Acceptability of a Structured Peer Support Service According to Key Stakeholders

description: Social support is a protective factor in the mental health of autistic people. Furthermore, prejudice regarding autistic people is a constraint for the development of social support programs by peers. The objective of this study is to describe the anticipated acceptability of structured peer support program for and by autistic persons. 15 key stakeholders (6 autistic adults, 4 caregivers, and 5 service providers) participated in in-depth-semi-structured interviews. We found that while a structured peer social support program is acceptable to autistic people and caregivers, there was no consensus among service providers. The latter expressed doubts about the ability of autistic people to offer support. The framing of discussions between peers, the training of peer helpers, the support for autistic leadership, and an organization that considers communicational and sensory characteristics of autistic persons, could influence adherence to such a program. Moreover, a space without service providers is an important condition for the acceptability of a peer support program.

title: Data for: Early and late cyanobacterial bloomers in a shallow, eutrophic lake

description: This dataset contains data and code for &lt;a href="https://doi.org/10.1002/essoar.10510183.2"&gt;"Early and Late Cyanobacterial Bloomers in a Shallow, Eutrophic Lake"&lt;/a&gt;, published in &lt;i&gt;Earth and Space Science Open Archive&lt;/i&gt;, 2022. 
Cyanobacterial blooms present challenges for water treatment, especially in regions like the Canadian prairies where poor water quality intensifies water treatment issues. Buoyant cyanobacteria that resist sedimentation present a challenge as water treatment operators attempt to balance pre-treatment and toxic disinfection by-products. Here, we used microscopy to identify and describe the evolution of cyanobacterial species in Buffalo Pound Lake, a key drinking water supply. We used indicator species analysis to identify temporal grouping structures throughout two sampling seasons from May to October 2018 and 2019. Our findings highlight two key cyanobacterial bloom phases – a mid-summer diazotrophic bloom of Dolichospermum spp. and an autumn Planktothrix agardhii bloom. Dolichospermum crassa and Woronchinia compacta served as indicators of the mid-summer and autumn bloom phases, respectively. Different cyanobacterial metabolites were associated with the distinct bloom phases in both years: toxic microcystins were associated with the mid-summer Dolichospermum bloom and some newly monitored cyanopeptides (anabaenopeptin A and B) with the autumn Planktothrix bloom. Despite forming a significant proportion of the autumn phytoplankton biomass (&gt; 60%), the Planktothrix bloom had previously not been detected by sensor or laboratory-derived chlorophyll-a. Our results demonstrate the power of targeted taxonomic identification of key species as a tool for managers of bloom-prone systems. Moreover, we describe an autumn Planktothrix agardhii bloom that has the potential to disrupt water treatment due to its evasion of detection. Our findings highlight the importance of identifying this autumn bloom given the expectation that warmer temperatures and a longer ice-free season will become the norm.

title: Predicting groundwater recharge for varying land cover and climate conditions – a global meta-study (data)

description: Groundwater recharge is one of the important factors determining the groundwater development potential of an area. Even though recharge plays a key role in controlling groundwater system dynamics, much uncertainty remains regarding the relationships between groundwater recharge and its governing factors at a large scale. Therefore, this study aims to identify the most influential factors of groundwater recharge, and to develop an empirical model to estimate diffuse rainfall recharge at a global scale. Recharge estimates reported in the literature from various parts of the world (715 sites) were compiled and used in model building and testing exercises. Unlike conventional recharge estimates from water balance, this study used a multimodel inference approach and information theory to explain the relationship between groundwater recharge and influential factors and to predict groundwater recharge at 0.5∘ resolution. The results show that meteorological factors (precipitation and potential evapotranspiration) and vegetation factors (land use and land cover) had the most predictive power for recharge. According to the model, long-term global average annual recharge (1981–2014) was 134 mm yr−1 with a prediction error ranging from −8 to 10 mm yr−1 for 97.2 % of cases. The recharge estimates presented in this study are unique and more reliable than the existing global groundwater recharge estimates because of the extensive validation carried out using both independent local estimates collated from the literature and national statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). In a water-scarce future driven by increased anthropogenic development, the results from this study will aid in making informed decisions about groundwater potential at a large scale.

title: Data to accompany from: Effects of neonicotinoid seed treatments on wildbee populations and soybean and corn fields in eastern Ontario

description: &lt;b&gt;Abstract&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Neonicotinoid-coated corn and soybean seeds are a common crop in Canada and the US. A growing body of research is demonstrating that, through various exposure routes, neonicotinoids can impact a suite of non-target organisms including beneficial insects such as bees. However, to date, only a few studies have examined the effects of neonicotinoids in field settings. We assessed the relationship between agricultural crop soil neonicotinoid levels and wild bee abundance and diversity at 16 agricultural sites representing different soil neonicotinoid levels. We detected clothianidin at 11 sites, thiamethoxam at three sites; imidacloprid was not detected. Hedgerow and crop soils were consistent in terms of where clothianidin was detected; thiamethoxan was not detected in hedgerow soils. Based on model outcomes, fields with higher levels of soil neonicotinoids exhibited significantly lower wild bee abundance and diversity than those with low or no neonicotinoids detected. Crop soil neonicotinoid level, hedgerow floral resource abundance and crop type were consistent predictors of bee abundance across models; only neonicotinoid level and crop type were significant predictors of diversity. Our results are consistent with recent findings in the midwestern US, and underscore the potential risk of soil neonicotinoids to wild bee populations across regions and crop systems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
