By a scenario analysis for China in 2017, it is preliminarily estimated that over two billion square meters of land use could be reduced if all the centralized wastewater treatment systems are replaced by constructed wetlands. The outcome may serve a benchmark and offers a new way of thinking for management of wastewater treatment systems.Flow cessation affects river ecosystems submitted to low precipitation and increased water demand, and creates unfavourable conditions to aquatic biological communities. Diatoms are amongst the most sensitive biological groups to hydric stress, making them good indicators of preceding hydrological conditions. We here analyse the response of diatom assemblages to the duration and frequency of non-flow periods in 23 Mediterranean temporary streams. All of them experienced a strong decrease in water flow during summer, leading to a period of flow cessation. In addition, other ten permanent streams (zero dry days during the study period) were included in the study for comparative purposes. Temporary and permanent streams showed similar diatom species richness, evenness, and alpha diversity. However, beta diversity was higher in temporary than permanent streams, regardless rare taxa ( less then 1% occurrence) had similar numbers in the two types of streams. Alpha diversity, richness, and evenness of diatom assemblors of climate change.2020 marks 25 years since Olivier Guillitte defined the term 'bioreceptivity', to describe the ability of a building material to be colonised by living organisms. Although Guillitte noted in his 1995 paper that several issues required further investigation, to the best of our knowledge the bioreceptivity conc
