Analyzing the discharge regime of a large tropical river through remote sensing, ground-based climatic data, and modeling [PDF]

, 1996
This study demonstrates the potential for applying passive microwave satellite sensor data to infer the discharge dynamics of large river systems using the main stem Amazon as a test case.

The Fargo‐Moorhead Diversion: Flood Protection or Sprawl Promotion?

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban growth and development opportunities are needed worldwide, but growth and development must be hazard‐aware and should follow smart‐growth principles. The $2.89 billion Fargo‐Moorhead Area Diversion Project was designed to provide flood protection following damaging floods on the Red River of the North.

Evaluating the Role of Social Capital for the Design of Sustainable River Governance Strategies: The Case of Tagus River

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of social capital in designing and implementing more effective governance strategies to improve the state of the Tagus River's significantly deteriorated middle reach (Spain). We employed social network analysis (SNA) to evaluate the bonding, bridging and linking social capital and the quality of stakeholder ...

From Prediction to Prevention: An Explainable GeoAI Framework for Flood Susceptibility and Urban Exposure Assessment Using Machine and Deep Learning Models

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid urbanisation and intensifying rainfall have increased cities' vulnerability to flooding, posing major challenges to sustainable development. Although machine learning models have improved flood prediction accuracy, most remain limited by their black‐box nature and lack of actionable insights.

‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...

Relative Habitat Suitability of the Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in the Central Great Plains 大平原中部灰狐 (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) 的生境相对适宜性

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Although once abundant across its range, gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) are purportedly declining. While range maps indicate that gray fox potentially occur throughout the central United States, contemporary distribution maps are needed. We developed a Habitat Suitability Model for six states, leveraging gray fox presence data in an ensemble ...

High nitrogen loading impacts the temperature‐size rule and heat tolerance in a nettle‐feeding butterfly

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host‐plant quality and ambient temperature are key environmental drivers of herbivorous insect performance, affecting growth, development, and survival. While temperature accelerates physiological processes in ectothermic insects, nutrient limitation in host plants can ...

Biological invasions disrupt the relationship between size spectrum and trophic interactions in freshwater fish communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study shows that non‐native species alter the relationship between the size‐spectrum slope and the predator–prey mass ratio (PPMR) in freshwater fish communities by occupying distinct trophic niches. Abstract The size spectrum, which describes the relationship between abundance (or biomass) and body size, is an ataxic approach that can provide ...

Review of river fisheries valuation in West and Central Africa [PDF]

, 2008
This paper provides a review of the valuation of river fisheries in West and Central Africa. It is the general perception that, compared to the biological and ecological aspects of river fisheries, this particular subject area has received relatively ...
