Counts of ecosystem service status (provided, altered, and lost/absent) during three hydrological phases (flowing, pool, dry) typically seen in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams. The ecosystem services follow the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES) version 4.3 across three broad categories of services (provisioning, regulating and cultural). Table 1 details these ecosystem services and how these may be altered when transitioned from flowing to pool or dry phases. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Datry, T., A. Boulton, N. Bonada, K. Fritz, C. Leigh, E. Sauquet, K. Tockner, B. Hugueny, and C. Dahm. Flow intermittence and ecosystem services in rivers of the Anthropocene. Journal of Applied Ecology.
