Rural household's willingness to pay for irrigation water use: An application of contingent valuation method, in the case of North Shewa zone, Ethiopia

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 4, Page 943-959, November 2023., 2023
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate household's willingness to pay (WTOP) for irrigation water use (IWU) per timad (0.25 ha) of the irrigable land per year and to analyze determinants of WTOP for IWU at individual households based on the contingent valuation method (CVM).

降雨类型与坡度对棕壤垄沟系统产流产沙的影响

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2020
为深入理解棕壤垄作坡耕地的土壤侵蚀机理,利用1.60 m×0.53 m的试验土槽,设计2个降雨类型,即增强型(70~70~100~100 mm/h)和减弱型(100~100~70~70 mm/h),以及2个坡度(9°和18°)的人工模拟降雨试验。每个雨型分2个阶段(阶段I、阶段Ⅱ),每个阶段进行相同雨强的2个场次降雨,每个场次降雨历时20 min。结果表明:(1)雨强对径流量呈显著影响(P70 mm/h时的径流量。在减弱型雨型下,坡度对径流量影响显著(P 18°增强型;总产沙量从大到小依次为:18 ...

Farm‐Scale Recharge Pits for Improving Local Groundwater Availability: Insights From a Hardrock Watershed in Rajasthan, India

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundwater depletion is a major challenge in semiarid, hard‐rock regions where irrigation demands often exceed natural recharge. This study evaluates the effectiveness of farm‐scale recharge pits as a local, supplementary, and community‐managed groundwater recharge solution in the Dharta catchment of Rajasthan, India. Alongside check dams and

Functional Stability Despite Taxonomic Changes in Mixed‐Species Foraging Flock Participants Along an Elevational Gradient in Knuckles Montane Reserve, Sri Lanka 斯里兰卡纳克斯山地保护区 (Knuckles Montane Reserve) 海拔梯度上混合物种觅食群参与者的功能稳定性与分类变化

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 59-73, March 2026.
This research reveals the functional stability of mixed species foraging flocks (MSF) and their foraging height change with different taxonomic differences along the elevational gradient at Knuckles Montane Reserve, Sri Lanka. This offers new insights into how MSFs sustain with the elevational gradients supporting the altitudinal shifting species ...

Rare Records of Tropical Spiders Preying on Vertebrates in Southwest China 热带地区罕见的蜘蛛捕食脊椎动物记录:来自中国西南部的四例观察

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 334-338, September 2025.
This study reports four rare events of spiders preying on vertebrates in the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Southwest China. The predators included a giant golden orb‐weaver, huntsman spiders, and a wandering spider, while the prey consisted of a small bird, a blind snake, a gecko, and a tiny shrew.

桂西北喀斯特区石灰土与红壤坡地幼龄橘园降雨侵蚀特征

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2023
为探究桂西北喀斯特区石灰土与红壤坡地幼龄橘园的降雨侵蚀特征,通过室内人工模拟降雨试验,研究3种降雨强度(30,60,90 mm/h)下,石灰土与红壤坡地幼龄橘园的产流产沙特征。结果表明:(1)降雨强度为30,60 mm/h时,红壤橘园的产流总量分别为石灰土橘园的2.46,1.83倍,且红壤橘园主要以地表产流为主,石灰土橘园主要以壤中流产流为主;当降雨强度为90 mm/h时,二者产流总量无显著性差异(p>0.05),均以地表产流为主。(2)石灰土橘园与红壤橘园地表径流强度随降雨强度增大而增大 ...

Multiple global change factors alter the scaling of nitrogen to phosphorus in alpine plants

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 2044-2055, August 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The stoichiometry and allometry of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) reflect nutrient absorption and dynamic allocation by plants, and can be regulated by global change factors (e.g. nitrogen enrichment, climate warming and altered precipitation). Yet, how multiple global

降雨强度对含砾石土壤产沙及入渗的影响

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2011
通过室内模拟降雨研究降雨强度对含砾石土壤产沙及入渗的影响。结果表明:整个降雨过程中,60mm/h的降雨强度下,产沙率变化相对平稳,90mm/h和120mm/h的降雨强度下,土壤产沙率的变化均因为有细沟而产生波动,120mm/h的降雨强度下,细沟出现的时间较90mm/h的降雨强度提前了5~20min;降雨强度的增加导致土壤总产沙量也显著增加,当降雨强度从90mm/h增加到120mm/h时,总产沙量的增加量是降雨强度从60mm/h增加到90mm/h时总产沙量增加量的0.83~2.82倍;随着降雨强度的增加 ...
