Schematic outline of selected conditions, features and cycles that either are influenced by viruses or influence virus‐related processes in flowing water systems. Based on a synthesis from the existing literature, the most important regulating factors are variable hydrology and environmental heterogeneity; suspended particles and biofilms can remove viruses from the water column and/or act as virus reservoirs; LDOM, labile dissolved organic matter; RDOM, refractory dissolved organic matter; SLDOM, semi‐labile dissolved organic matter.
