Investigating the effects of large wood and forest management on flood risk and flood hydrology

open access: yes, 2013
The changes to catchment scale flood risk following river restoration works, including the addition of large wood logjams to the channel, are poorly quantified in the literature.

Spatial modeling for detection of water retention capacity in technosols developed on carboniferous spoil heap after hard coal mining

open access: yesEcological Informatics
Post-industrial areas, such as heaps, are an Anthropocene pressure on the environment but show natural potential for new ecosystem services, i.e., water retention, biodiversity, and C-sequestration.

Modeling climate adaptive habitat connectivity for conservation planning in Colombia

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
To remain effective under global change, conservation decisions must anticipate shifting climates, species responses to climate change and the dispersal pathways needed to track suitable climate. Yet most assessments of ecological connectivity do not consider how the landscape will change, or, if they do, they only consider a single future time point ...

Rethinking Environmental Impact Assessment for nature positive development

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Achieving “nature positive” development within existing regulatory frameworks will be challenging. Halting and reversing biodiversity loss requires protection, restoration, and enhancement of ecosystems alongside a fundamental shift in how biodiversity is valued and quantifiable improvements are assessed.

Future growth and decline of high mountain Asia's ice-dammed lakes and associated risk

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2022
More than 10,000 locations in High-Mountain Asia are identified as likely to host ice-dammed lakes, responsible for most of the glacier outburst floods in High-Mountain Asia, using a combination of a digital elevation model and a glacier model.

Global hydrology 2015: State, trends, and directions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Global hydrology has come a long way since the first introduction of the primitive land surface model of Manabe (1969) and the declaration of the “Emergence of Global Hydrology” by Eagleson (1986).

Creation of a Landslide Susceptibility Map Using Short‐Term Data From the July 2018 Heavy Rainfall in Southern Hiroshima Prefecture

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
This work advances landslide susceptibility mapping by incorporating short‐term trigger data with landscape susceptibility mapping. We also examine the importance of downsampling, watershed delineation and geospatial correlations in evaluating outcomes.

Biomonitoring of Environmental Pollution Using Forest Tree Foliage Chemistry at Extremely Contaminated, Post-Industrial Sites

open access: yesAtmosphere
Biomonitoring based on foliage chemistry was used to study the effects of environmental sulfur (S) pollution on forest stands. The foliage samples were collected in two forest ecosystems exposed to industrial emissions: a zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) smelter ...

Green water, wetlands, and atmospheric moisture recycling ‐ An emerging new paradigm for grassland science

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
The importance of green water in water resource management. Conceptual classification of terrestrial water components highlighting the central role of green water in land‐atmosphere interactions. This schematic distinguishes green water (soil moisture available for plant uptake and evapotranspiration) from blue water (surface water, groundwater, and ...

Study on the Water Conservation Function of Different Hydrology Arrangements of Forest

open access: yesShuitu baochi yanjiu, 2005
On the basis of summarizing past research results,the conservation storage mechanism of the ground upper strata,the surface layer and the underground layer,which are the three-hydrology arrangements of forest was described.The authors systematically ...
