Protected and productive: How greenhouses should deliver UK food security

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The United Kingdom produces less than 20% of its fruit and ~50% of its vegetables, leaving it highly import dependent and vulnerable to supply chain disruptions. Our study maps 2085 ha of existing greenhouses, over 70% more than 40 years old, and identifies where modern infrastructure could expand production.

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

Using dendroclimatic analysis of exotic deciduous conifers in an arboretum to document tree growth in response to climate change, Northeast Ohio, USA

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

Quantifying Activated Floodplains on a Lowland Regulated River: Its Application to Floodplain Restoration in the Sacramento Valley

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2009
We describe a process and methodology for quantifying the extent of a type of historically prevalent, but now relatively rare, ecologically-valuable floodplains in the Sacramento lowland river system: frequently-activated floodplains.

Technical contributions to territorial planning and the use of ecosystemic services in a hydrographic basin with a water deficit in the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil

Revista Ambiente & Água, 2019
The catchment basin of the Dois Rios River (R2R) (3159 km2) unites the climatic and environmental effects typical of areas located on the leeward side of mountain chains. It has a deficient water balance, with sparse and very specific wet areas.

Lowland river responses to intraplate tectonism and climate forcing quantified with luminescence and cosmogenic 10Be [PDF]

, 2013
Intraplate tectonism has produced large-scale folding that steers regional drainage systems, such as the 1600 km-long Cooper Ck, en route to Australia’s continental depocentre at Lake Eyre.

Zooplankton Assemblage Structure of the Lower Mississippi River and Floodplain in Relation to Site Hydrological Connection

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pattern of flow or hydrological connection between a river's main channel and its floodplain can vary seasonally and spatially in frequency, duration, direction, and magnitude. Such variation is expected to promote habitat and biotic diversity.

Survival of Casuarina cunninghamiana on a recovering sand-bed stream in the Wollombi Valley of coastal New South Wales [PDF]

, 2013
The successful management and restoration of riparian corridors in Australia is currently hindered by our poor understanding of the links between hydrology, fluvial geomorphology and plant population dynamics.

Making Waves: The Effects of Whitewater Parks on Fish Passage in Colorado

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Instream structures have fragmented riverine habitats throughout much of the world, including the Western USA. Whitewater parks (WWPs) are relatively new instream structures designed to create hydraulic waves for recreational boating and surfing by constricting flows into a steep chute or drop.
