Nature‐Based Solutions for Climate Adaptation: Review of Barriers to Adoption and Guidelines for Policymakers

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NBS) for climate adaptation encompass a range of approaches that work with nature to increase resilience to climate change while providing ecological, economic and social co‐benefits. These solutions have frequently been put forward for application in urban contexts, such as the creation of urban forests, but can ...

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop

Exploring dynamics of Poyang floodplain lakes using fused 8-day, 30-m remote sensing data (2000–2023)

European Journal of Remote Sensing
Poyang Lake has been frequently affected by droughts, which has drawn increasing attention. Floodplain lakes surrounding the main Poyang Lake play an important role in maintaining the hydrological cycle and supporting ecological diversity. Monitoring the

Evaluating targeted heuristics for vulnerability assessment in flood impact model chains

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2021
In flood risk management, the choice of vulnerability functions has a remarkable impact on the overall uncertainty of modelling flood damage. The spatial transferability of empirical vulnerability functions is limited, leading to the need for computation

Transforming Agricultural Water Management Through the Water–Energy–Food Nexus: Trends, Opportunities, Barriers and Solutions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural water management (AWM) is increasingly transitioning towards transformative thinking, where interconnected sectors, including water, energy and food, are managed holistically. Trends point towards cross‐sectoral and harmonised strategies to optimise water use efficiency and productivity, integrate renewable energy, promote ...

Sediment management and the renewability of floodplain clay for structural ceramics [PDF]

, 2009
The Netherlands has vast resources of clay that are exploited for the fabrication of structural ceramic products such as bricks and roof tiles. Most clay is extracted from the so-called embanked floodplains along the rivers Rhine and Meuse, areas that ...

Behavior and mortality of anurans on roads in the Australian tropics

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Roads are a major source of mortality for wildlife, particularly amphibians. Identifying vulnerable species and understanding any behavioral predictors of mortality helps us understand vulnerability to traffic and can inform management strategies. We investigated a 9‐species anuran community in tropical Australia with respect to 3 behavioral responses ...
