Aesthetic values as relational values: Environmental aesthetics in go‐along interviews

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Aesthetic values are often categorised as a type of relational values, yet their shared characteristics with other relational values remain largely unexplored. To address this gap, we turn to Emily Brady's theory of environmental aesthetics; her interpretation of aesthetic value exhibits important parallels with the concept of relational ...

Long‐Term Morphodynamic Responses to Flood Diversion in the Lower Kano River, Japan

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fluvial morphodynamics—the interaction between water flow, sediment transport, and channel morphology—is a central concern in sustainable river management. However, the long‐term effects of flood diversion remain underexplored. This study investigated the decadal‐scale morphodynamic responses of the lower Kano River in Japan following the ...

Search and Passage Are Decoupled for Migrating Trout Kelts at Multi‐Exit Dam

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Longitudinal and lateral river connectivity have been drastically reduced over time, with hydropower development as a major driver of fragmentation. While fishways are widely implemented to support upstream migration, downstream passage remains a major challenge.

Structure and functional genes associated with carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur cycling processes in periphyton: A comparison between natural and artificial rivers

open access: yesRiver, EarlyView.
Network analysis of functional genes among prokaryotes, and eukaryotes in natural and artificial rivers. Abstract Periphyton in aquatic ecosystems plays vital roles in the elemental cycle process and is vulnerable to anthropogenic interference. However, few studies have explored the elemental cycles of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and ...
