Abstract
While the impacts of wildfires on terrestrial ecosystems are obvious, the impacts to aquatic ecosystems are less visible but can be profound and more enduring. Impacts to aquatic ecosystems can extend beyond the fire footprint, tens of kilometres downstream. Wildfires can cause mass mortality and the loss of populations but also sublethal changes to individuals, and long-lasting alteration of habitats.
