Rivers as Natural Capital Assets: A Quick Scoping Review to Assess the Evidence Linking River Asset Condition to Changes in the Flow of Ecosystem Services

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River managers are beginning to adopt natural capital approaches in practice. However, while it is crucial for river management, the link between river asset condition and the flow of ecosystem services is poorly understood. In this study, we conducted a Quick Scoping Review (QSR) of the research into river asset condition and ecosystem ...

Woody cover and geology as regional‐scale determinants of semi‐arid savanna stability

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Savannas are vital for global biodiversity and carbon storage, yet their responses to climate change and human activity remain uncertain. Using remote sensing time series and Bayesian Linear Models, we show that drought resistance and resilience vary regionally, shaped by complex interactions between geology, woody cover, fire regimes, past climate ...

Hyperspectral imagery, LiDAR point clouds, and environmental DNA to assess land‐water linkage of biodiversity across aquatic functional feeding groups

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Functional feeding groups (FFGs) are key components sustaining ecosystem functioning in riverine ecosystems. In this study, we conducted an airborne imaging spectroscopy campaign and a systematic environmental DNA (eDNA) river water sampling in a 740‐km2 mountainous catchment, combined with light detection and ranging (LiDAR) point clouds, to obtain ...
