A unified ecological flow indicator reveals long-term regime shifts and connectivity changes in a regulated river–lake system

Large reservoir operation has substantially altered flow regimes and ecological connectivity in river–lake systems, yet long-term, spatially explicit ecological responses remain insufficiently quantified. An indicator-based ecological flow assessment was applied to evaluate hydro-ecological regime c...
