Effects of restoration on macrophyte and macroinvertebrate ecological status and biodiversity in lowland streams in Denmark

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Habitat restoration is applied to promote ecological recovery in degraded freshwater systems. However, it remains unclear whether stream restoration measures enhance Water Framework Directive (WFD) ecological status and biodiversity.

Site conditions and forest stand dynamics impact bottomland hardwood afforestation on wetland reserve easements

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The Wetlands Reserve Easement (WRE) program accounts for the majority of private land afforestation in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley (LMAV), but consistent ecological monitoring is not often feasible after restoration activities are complete.

Microplastic Dynamics in Sediment Layers of Two Ramsar‐Designated Wetlands

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Little is known about the vertical and spatial dynamics of microplastics in relation to hydrology and land use, particularly in African context. This study aimed to assess the abundance, type, colour and vertical distribution of microplastics in sediment from two Ramsar‐designated wetlands, the Makuleke and Nylsvley. Sediment core samples were

Reflooding the coupled human and natural system of the Waza-Logone Floodplain, Cameroon

Frontiers in Conservation Science
The rewilding framework is used to guide the restoration of ecological processes in natural systems, but the framework can also be used in the restoration of social and ecological processes in coupled human and natural systems.

Impacts of Federal Policies and Programs on Wetlands [PDF]

Human activities have resulted in the loss of about half of the original 221 million acres of wetlands in the conterminous 48 states. Federal laws, policies, and programs have had major impacts on the nation's wetland resources.

Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?

Implications of climate change for coastal and inter-tidal habitats in the UK [PDF]

, 2013
Coastal habitats are diverse and vary in the extent to which they are shaped by physiographic processes, such as wave action, wind, tides and sediment availability, and the relative influence of terrestrial and marine environments, e.g.

Map and Archival Evidence of the Historical Avulsion of the Brahmaputra River

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract One of the world's great rivers, the Brahmaputra, avulsed—changed course—significantly sometime between the dates of 1765 and 1830. These are the dates of surveys by James Rennell (grey) and Richard Wilcox (black), both under the direction of the East India Company; no other surveys between these dates can refine the estimate of the ...

Comparative Effectiveness and Future Viability of Flood Control Adaptation Measures Under a Changing Climate and a Declining Population

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Adaptation measures play a crucial role in mitigating the increasing severity of flood disasters driven by climate change. While various strategies are implemented globally, their geographical characteristics and long‐term effectiveness remain uncertain.
