Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand
Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?

, 2010 When applied to wetlands, the science of hydrology is concerned with how the storage and movement of water into and out of a wetland affects the plants and animals, and the soils on which they grow.

The Quality of Clarity: Lessons from the Sixty‐Year Struggle to Maintain the Purity of Lake Taupō
Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.Sixty years of effort to protect the exceptionally clear water of Lake Taupō, the largest lake in Aotearoa New Zealand, show how environmental memory can help manage a cultural and natural resource. I describe how water clarity and quality in this lake have been protected, through managing soil erosion and phosphorus flows during the 1960s–1980s, and ...

Partial Entrance Restriction as a Potential Tidal Flood Mitigation Strategy in a Large Urban Estuary
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Tidal flooding in estuaries is expected to worsen as sea‐level rise (SLR) continues to accelerate and increases storm surge height. Conventional structural defences are often unsustainable, while nature‐based solutions like managed realignment require extensive land to be repurposed.

Seagrass Sampling Methods in a Community‐Based Setting, A Comparative Analysis
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Effective monitoring of seagrass is essential for the conservation of this critical marine ecosystem. The choice of monitoring method depends on balancing accuracy, efficiency, cost and accessibility, especially in contexts requiring community engagement and ownership.

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

The Influence of short-term land use change on soil evolution in the centre-south coastal areas of Sardinia [PDF]
, 2008 The land use change in short-term (time and space) in the Mediterranean context can be induced by phenomena like destruction of the autochthonous plant species, land abandonment, overgrazing, fire, urbanization (above all for touristic purpose), etc ...

Bayesian Poisson‐Lognormal Regression With Compositional Effect Shares for Multivariate Count Data
Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 4, May 2026.ABSTRACT Multivariate count data are central in community ecology and related fields, where interest lies in how environmental gradients and management actions jointly shape the abundances of many taxa. The Poisson‐lognormal (PLN) model is a natural workhorse in this setting, accommodating overdispersion and cross‐taxon dependence via a latent Gaussian

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.Abstract Marine mammals can exhibit high plasticity in foraging strategies, but how such plasticity is driven by environmental conditions is poorly understood. The American manatee (Trichechus manatus), a large, endangered herbivore, inhabits marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments.
