Synergistic assessment of water-related ecosystem services: integrating meta-analysis and InVEST in the Huai River Basin, China

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionWater-related ecosystem services (WES) underpinned environmental sustainability and water governance, yet their valuation had often remained fragmented and weakly connected to ecological processes.

Examples and lessons for best practices for Danube River revitalisation [PDF]

Scientific Annals of the Danube Delta Institute, 2012
The ecological balance of Danube River has suffered alteration processes because of continuously development of human society. In the alteration process of the Danube have been destroyed dominating natural systems and created instead industrial ...

Quantifying flooding regime in floodplain forests to guide river restoration

Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2014
Determining the flooding regime needed to support distinctive floodplain forests is essential for effective river conservation under the ubiquitous human alteration of river flows characteristic of the Anthropocene Era.

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Compact Models Assess the Impacts of Floodplain Storage on Suspended Sediment Delivery and Restoration Lag Times: A Chesapeake Bay Case Study

Water Resources Research
A lag in time occurs between implementing a watershed restoration design and attaining measurable benefits in impaired waters downstream. Where restoration is intended to reduce the delivery of sediment, lag times can be greatly increased by floodplain ...

Determination of restoration potential on small river reaches in urban environment in Hungary

4D, 2023
Urban river reaches are an important element in green infrastructure, but they are typically in worse condition than rural river reaches, so their restoration is an important task.

Continental scale metagenomics reveals Microcystis‐induced synchrony among aquatic taxa is exacerbated by trophic cascades

Ecography, EarlyView.
Harmful Microcystis proliferation severely threatens aquatic ecosystems globally, but its impacts on food‐web stability remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 1309 metagenomic samples from freshwater ecosystems across China to investigate how Microcystis abundance affects synchrony among taxa in multi‐trophic food webs (from bacteriophages to ...

Ecological-climatic characteristics of the flora of a floodplain landscape in Southeastern Europe

Biosystems Diversity, 2020
Floodplain ecosystems take on the role of active areas of biodiversity and provide many “ecosystem services”, as evidenced by a number of European scientific references.

Translating Across Boundaries: The Process of Integrating Forestry Into the German National Water Strategy

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Participatory processes are increasingly recognized as essential components of modern environmental governance. While much scholarly attention has been devoted to the design and implementation of such processes, less is known about the critical phase between participatory processes and final policy outputs.
