| Abstract |
Rivers play a vital role in the maintenance of the biosphere and human society, since they participate in the global water cycle and provide varied habitats to support biodiversity. Microhabitat heterogeneity is regarded as a key factor driving biodiversity and it plays an active ecological role in different types of mountain rivers. Whether river microhabitat heterogeneity exhibits the same ecological patterns across hydrological periods remains unclear. Here, we analyzed the changes in macroinvertebrate community composition, functional traits, and multi-faceted α-diversity in five debris flow gullies in the Xiaojiang River Basin (southwestern China) between two different hydrological periods. We explored the responses of biodiversity to river microhabitat heterogeneity and its driving factors before and after hydrological disturbance. The results indicated that river microhabitat heterogeneity and three facets of macroinvertebrate α-diversity decreased after hydrological disturbance, with macroinvertebrate state traits becoming more unbalanced. Macroinvertebrate taxonomic diversity increased with increasing river microhabitat heterogeneity across hydrological periods, and this pattern was more prominent before hydrological disturbance. A high correlation emerged between macroinvertebrate phylogenetic diversity and river microhabitat heterogeneity only before hydrological disturbance. Hydrogeomorphic parameters prominently affected macroinvertebrate communities before hydrological disturbance. Water environmental parameters worked together with hydrogeomorphic parameters to shape macroinvertebrate communities in hydrologically disturbed debris flow gullies, indicating a reduced ecological role of river microhabitat heterogeneity. The ecological health of debris flow gullies can be improved by increasing vegetation coverage on river bank slopes to increase slope stability and mitigate hydrological disturbances, as well as placing large rocks into river channels to enhance riverbed stability and create habitats for more biological groups. |
