People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract With the rapid expansion of transnational biodiversity policy instruments promoting large‐scale landscape transformations that depend on public support for their success and feasibility, understanding the mechanisms underlying pro‐biodiversity attitudes has become important.

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Concerning the study of past periglacial processes, the Pannonian Basin is a key area as it contains the southernmost frost polygons found in Central Europe. The presence or absence of permafrost is still, however, a matter of debate, and data on the timing of frost action are also scarce.

Effect of Different Core Slopes and Filters on Seepage for Horan Dam, Iraq
مجلة النهرين للعلوم الهندسيةA dam failure results in losses in terms of economy and infrastructure, in addition to the loss of many lives and assets. Inadequate seepage control procedures are typically the cause of seepage failure in earth-fill dams.

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

Study on Deformation Characteristics of Gate Dam and Earth–Rock Dam Systems with Deep Overburden
Gate dam and earth–rock dam systems have many advantages, such as minimal ecological impact and good terrain adaptability, making them the preferred dam type for low-head, high-flow river areas with thick overburden layers. This study, based on an ongoing construction project, pioneers a comprehensive three-dimensional stress–deformation characteristic

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

Study on Deformation Characteristics of Gate Dam and Earth-Rock Dam System on Deep Overburden
The gate dam and earth-rock dam system offers advantages such as minimal ecological impact and strong terrain adaptability, making them the preferred dam type for low-head, high-flow river areas with thick overburden layers. This study, based on a ongoing construction project, pioneered a comprehensive three-dimensional stress-deformation ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Relieving barriers and increasing free flowing rivers is a global imperative to restore habitat connectivity for migratory fish stocks. While reducing river fragmentation will certainly improve biodiversity, the spread of non‐native species throughout a river system may be facilitated as an inadvertent outcome.
