Unravelling wetland connectivity: a comparative analysis of landscape structure and connectivity between natural and unnatural (artificial) wetlands in Van Sub-basin

open access: yesJournal of Freshwater Ecology
This study compares natural and artificial wetlands in Türkiye’s Van sub-basin, exploring human impacts on landscape connectivity and species diversity. It examines how habitat fragmentation affects species isolation and long-term viability, involving 14

Application of Artificial Wetlands in Water Pollution

open access: yesHighlights in Science, Engineering and Technology, 2023
With the development of social economy, a large number of pollutants such as heavy metals enter water bodies. Artificial wetlands have emerged with unique advantages in removing water pollutants, like removing the phosphorus or sodium, especially suitable for developing countries.

Peatland hydrology and carbon release: why small-scale process matters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Peatlands cover over 400 million hectares of the Earth's surface and store between one-third and one-half of the world's soil carbon pool. The long-term ability of peatlands to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere means that they play a major role ...

Ecological Adaptation Mechanisms Underlying Successful Plant Reproduction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
During floral induction, various environmental and endogenous signals converge to regulate the florigen protein, which is transported from leaves to the SAM to initiate flowering. Within the SAM, a complex network of receptor kinases and small peptides orchestrates floral development with high spatiotemporal precision.

Impacts of prolonged dry season and artificial food supply on the wintering spatial distribution of Siberian Cranes: Implications for conservation

open access: yesAvian Research
Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, is a critical wintering ground for most of the global Siberian Crane (Grus leucogeranus) population. However, increasingly prolonged dry seasons have degraded the natural wetlands of Poyang Lake, forcing ...

Effect of wetland management: are lentic wetlands refuges of plant-species diversity in the Andean–Orinoco Piedmont of Colombia? [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
Accelerated degradation of the wetlands and fragmentation of surrounding vegetation in the Andean–Orinoco Piedmont are the main threats to diversity and ecological integrity of these ecosystems; however, information on this topic is of limited ...

Ecological niche modeling reveals habitat differentiation and climatic vulnerability in two imperiled, sympatric southern Appalachian carnivorous plants

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Understanding the habitat requirements of imperiled flora is critical for informing ex situ conservation practices, designing effective reintroduction strategies, and understanding how climate change will impact such species, especially in montane regions with high levels of environmental heterogeneity. In southern Appalachia, USA, the

Wetland restoration and nitrate reduction: the example of the periurban wetland of Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country, North Spain) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Changes in land use and agricultural intensification caused wetlands on the quaternary aquifer of Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country) to disappear some years ago and nitrate concentration in groundwaters increased very quickly.

Performance of pilot-scale vertical flow constructed wetlands with and without the emergent macrophyte Spartina alterniflora treating mariculture effluent

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2011
Vertical flow constructed wetlands, planted with and without Spartina alterniflora, were tested for the treatment of mariculture wastewater. Wetlands with and without the emergent macrophyte produced reductions of 89 and 71% for inorganic solids, 82 and ...
