Flood Wave Attenuation as a Function of Floodplain Storage, Secondary Channel Conveyance, and Discharge

open access: yesWater Resources Research
The elevation of natural river levees can vary considerably along the length of a river, and low‐lying features such as secondary floodplain channels allow for hydrologic exchange between a river and its floodplain over a range of discharges.

Soil modification in a chronosequence of postagricultural ecosystems of the intrazonal lithogenic matrix (Arkhangelsk region, Russia)

open access: yesActa Agrobotanica, 2019
Processes of soil self-restoration and soil modification in the chronosequence of postagricultural ecosystems located within the intrazonal (floodplain) soils of boreal forests were studied.

Modeling long‐term population viability to inform recovery of a functionally extinct urban Blanding's turtle population

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used a population viability analysis to evaluate the influence of headstarting on recovery of the Rouge National Urban Park Blanding's turtle population. Completing the remaining 12 years of the 20‐year headstarting program is projected to approximately double population size relative to no further supplementation.

Adjacent environments contribute to the increase of zooplankton species in a neotropical river

open access: yesActa Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2017
Aim: The distribution of the zooplankton community along the Paraná River and in adjacent environments (tributaries and lakes) was evaluated, as well as the contribution of the community present in these environments to the species composition of the ...

Multi-Scale Drivers of Land-Use Changes at Farm Level I: Conceptual Framework and Application in the Highly Flooded Zone of the Vietnamese Mekong Delta

open access: yesLand, 2023
There is an implementation gap between government plans and land-use changes at the local level in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta. This stands in the way of the sustainable development of the delta, especially in the face of environmental degradation ...

Groundwater flooding within an urbanised flood plain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In Europe in recent years, there has been recognition of the need to better understand the risk from groundwater flooding. This recognition has been due both to the occurrence of major flooding events clearly attributable to groundwater and the inclusion

Carbon, Nitrogen, and Corresponding Stable Isotope Signatures Reveal Channel Banks as Major Sediment Sources in a Tropical Agricultural Watershed

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Uncertainties about the applicability of δ13C and δ15N as tracers of sediment sources in tropical river basins highlight the need for more in‐depth investigations of these isotopes. This study therefore assessed the effectiveness of δ13C and δ15N signatures in discriminating sediment sources in an agricultural catchment in Northeast Brazil ...

What is the Direction of Land Change? A New Approach to Land-Change Analysis

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
Accurate characterization of the direction of land change is a neglected aspect of land dynamics. Knowledge on direction of historical land change can be useful information when understanding relative influence of different land-change drivers is of ...

Floodplain environmental change during the younger dryas and holocene: Evidence from the lower kennet valley, south central England [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Many lowland rivers across northwest Europe exhibit broadly similar behavioural responses to glacial-interglacial transitions and landscape development. Difficulties exist in assessing these, largely because the evidence from many rivers remains limited
