Animating the critical zone: beavers as critical zone engineers
Frontiers in WaterBeavers (Castor canadensis) have not been adequately included in critical zone research, yet they can affect multiple critical zone processes across the terrestrial-aquatic interface of river corridors.

Entropy in the Critical Zone: A Comprehensive Review [PDF]
Entropy, 2014 Thermodynamic entropy was initially proposed by Clausius in 1865. Since then it has been implemented in the analysis of different systems, and is seen as a promising concept to understand the evolution of open systems in non-equilibrium conditions.

What Do P-Wave Velocities Tell Us About the Critical Zone?
Frontiers in Water, 2022 Fractures in Earth's critical zone influence groundwater flow and storage and promote chemical weathering. Fractured materials are difficult to characterize on large spatial scales because they contain fractures that span a range of sizes, have complex ...

The Susceptibility of Wetland Areas in the Yangtze River Basin to Temperature and Vegetation Changes
Remote Sensing, 2023 Wetlands serve a critical function in water storage and ecological diversity maintenance. However, human activities have resulted in wetland loss in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin (MLYRB), while the wetland distribution in this ...

A model-based assessment of the potential use of compound-specific stable isotope analysis in river monitoring of diffuse pesticide pollution [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Compound-specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) has, in combination with model-assisted interpretation, proven to be a valuable approach to quantify the extent of organic contaminant degradation in groundwater systems.

Geochemical cycle of mercury associated with wet deposition and inflows in a subalpine wetland
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 Subalpine wetland is a mercury (Hg) sensitive ecosystem, but there is poor understanding of Hg behavior in this typical wetland. Here, distribution and speciation of Hg in waters of a subalpine wetland (Dajiuhu) in China were investigated, and an initial
