Regional, multi-decadal analysis on the Loire River basin reveals that stream temperature increases faster than air temperature
Abstract 10 5 2 with 52 278 reaches). = + 0.38 ∘ C decade- 1) over the 1963–2019 period. Increases were greatest in spring and summer, with a median increase of + ∘ C (range = + 0.11 to + 0.76 ∘ C) and + 0.44 ∘ C (+ 0.08 to + 1.02 ∘ C) per decade, respectively. Rates of stream temperature increases were greater than for air temperature across seasons for the majority of reaches. Spring and summer increases were typically greatest in the southern part of the Loire basin (up to + 1 ∘ C decade- 1 ≥ 5). Importantly, air temperature and streamflow could exert a joint influence on stream temperature trends, where the greatest stream temperature increases were accompanied by similar trends in air temperature (up to + 0.71 ∘ C decade- 1 - 16 % decade- 1 ∘ C decade- 1 < 30 km from the source). Our results provide strong support for basin-wide increases in stream temperature due to joint effects of rising air temperature and reduced streamflow. We suggest that some of these climate change-induced effects can be mitigated through the restoration and maintenance of riparian forests.
