The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

Reach‐scale benthic substrate composition shapes hyporheic invertebrate communities and physicochemical characteristics under baseflow conditions

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the processes structuring ecological communities is vital to underpin research, management and monitoring efforts. Historically, research has focused on the role of the habitat template in structuring benthic riverine communities, with limited consideration of subsurface hyporheic habitats.

A Functional Flows Framework for the Terminal Great Salt Lake Basin: Can We Have Our Lake and Drink It Too?

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terminal basins provide unique aquatic environments that are often highly sensitive to streamflow contributions, making them a focal point for environmental water management. However, the water needs for terminal lake, wetland, and river ecosystems, and how they relate, remain a fundamental knowledge gap that constrains our ability to ...

Vulnerability to Dams of the Last Undammed Large Rivers of Southeast Asia

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The vast majority of large Eurasian rivers are regulated by hydropower dams, but some have survived as free‐flowing rivers so far in the Arctic and along stretches of the Myanmar coast. There, the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) and Salween Rivers, two of the largest rivers of Southeast Asia, provide a huge amount of sediment, nurturing floodplains and

Effects of hydrological regime and connectivity on the interannual variation in taxonomic similarity of periphytic algae

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of flood pulses (intensity) on the richness and composition of periphytic algae in lentic environments of the Upper Paraná River floodplain, over a six-year period.

Spatial distribution of the assemblage of Chironomidae larvae (Diptera) in five floodplain lakes from Ilha Grande National Park (Paraná - Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil) - doi: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v35i2.10799

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2012
Chironomidae larvae (Diptera) are one of the most important families among aquatic insects due to the higher abundance and species richness, considered an important tool for ecological studies. This study evaluated the richness of Chironomidae assemblage

Connectivity as the control key to intensity of flood pulse in Taquari River oxbow lakes

Revista Ambiente & Água, 2020
The Taquari River is one of the most important tributaries of the Paraguay River, whose sediments are carried and deposited on the plain forming the largest alluvial fan in the world, known as Pantanal. In the floodplain, the course of the river has been

Fish communities of Lake Chad and associated rivers and floodplains

, 1983
The concept of fish community as used in this chapter must not be confused with the concept of ichthyocenosis from which it is fundamentally different. We call ‘fish species community’ the possibly biased image given by the sampling of a group of fishes able to be caught in a particular environment at a given time.
