Ecological relevance of non-perennial rivers for the conservation of terrestrial and aquatic communities. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract River conservation efforts traditionally focus on perennial watercourses (i.e., those that do not dry) and their associated aquatic biodiversity. However, most of the global river network is not perennial and thus supports both aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity. We assessed the conservation value of nonperennial rivers and streams (NPRS) in

Incorporating cyclone risk in the design of marine protected and conserved areas as an ecosystem-based adaptation approach. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Marine protected and conserved areas (MPCAs) are promoted as an ecosystem‐based adaptation (EbA) approach to increase community and ecosystem resilience to climate change. However, traditional approaches to MPCA design typically do not consider climate risk or habitat condition under a climate threat.

Groundwater mapping and locally engaged water governance in a small island terrain: Case study of Karainagar island, Northern Sri Lanka

World Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 456-480, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Groundwater is a vital resource under threat in island communities. Karainagar, a 22 km2 island, is one of seven islands off the coast of Jaffna in Northern Sri Lanka, with its population of just about 11,000 persons, experiences seasonal water shortage, and salinity in groundwater as twin threats impacting on their lives.

Long‐term hydrological and biogeochemical datasets from a Mediterranean forest site (Montseny, NE Spain)

Hydrological Processes, Volume 37, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Hydrological and biogeochemical datasets made available in the Zenodo platform for two catchments in Montseny (Catalonia, Spain) for the period 1978–2018. Abstract We present here, and make freely available, two long‐term datasets on the hydrology and hydrochemistry of two small catchments totally or partially covered by holm oak (Quercus ilex) forests.
