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.

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 ...

Plant adaptive strategies respond to environmental change across European grassland habitats

Ecography, EarlyView.
Grassland ecosystems are facing rapid and ongoing change driven by intensified land‐use and accelerated climate change, highlighting the urgent need to understand their potential adaptation and response to environmental change. We analyzed data from 52 980 vegetation plots spanning all major grassland habitats in Europe (including alpine, rocky, sandy,

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.

Uneven Impacts of Seawall Heightening on Tsunami Risk Reduction under Rising Sea Levels: Probabilistic Scenarios from the Japan Trench

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Transforming Agricultural Water Management Through the Water–Energy–Food Nexus: Trends, Opportunities, Barriers and Solutions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural water management (AWM) is increasingly transitioning towards transformative thinking, where interconnected sectors, including water, energy and food, are managed holistically. Trends point towards cross‐sectoral and harmonised strategies to optimise water use efficiency and productivity, integrate renewable energy, promote ...
