Random Integrated Subdata Ensemble Method for Key Variable Selection in Rare Event Setting
ABSTRACT We propose a general variable selection procedure to identify key input variables by applying elastic net regression to representative subdata in place of the full sample to select variables. We combine the lists of selected variables from each subdata through ensemble techniques, using the frequency of selecting the variable across different ...

Environmental and socio‐economic factors behind data provision in 17 citizen science projects
Abstract Citizen science approaches in ecology have recently become increasingly popular. Although many advantages, such as the cost‐effective collection of vast amounts of data, outweigh the disadvantages, most projects face difficulties, such as non‐random sampling, pseudo‐absences or various biases, such as detection/reporting biases or participant ...

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Geomorphic Effects and Habitat Impacts of Large Wood at Restoration Sites in New England
ABSTRACT Large wood (used interchangeably with the term “instream wood”), which refers to trees, logs and other wood within a channel, is beneficial to river ecosystems and is being used more frequently as a component of river restoration projects. We identified metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of large wood to promote ecological and geomorphic ...

Quantifying the Role of Karst Groundwater on Mountain River Discharge
Abstract In snow‐fed, mountainous karst regions, aquifers sustain and are connected to streamflow via springs and distributed groundwater exchanges (DGE) including inflows (DGI) and losses (DGL). Despite their significance, there is limited understanding of the complex flow paths linking aquifers and streams, particularly regarding flow path source and
