Low-flow Ecology

Low-Flow Ecology is a scientific framework that specifically examines the ecological processes, species adaptations, and ecosystem functions that occur in aquatic environments during periods of reduced water flow, distinguishing it from broader flow-ecology studies by focusing on the biological and physical dynamics unique to low-flow conditions.
