Remote sensing and GPS tracking reveal temporal shifts in habitat use in nonbreeding Black‐tailed Godwits

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 1, Page 119-131, January 2025.
Our findings illustrate the shifting importance of natural and agricultural wetlands for godwits at different stages of the nonbreeding season. Protected areas in the Senegal Delta, particularly the Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary (Senegal) and Diawling National Park (Mauritania), are crucial habitats during the dry season as godwits prepare for their ...

Relevance of intermittent rivers and streams in agricultural landscape and their impact on provided ecosystem services—a Mediterranean case study [PDF]

, 2019
Ecosystem services (ES), as an interconnection of the landscape mosaic pieces, along with temporal rivers (IRES) are an object of research for environmental planners and ecological economists, among other specialists.

Revisiting the Narrative of Deforestation in Central and Southern Mainland Early Modern Portugal as a ‘Ruined Landscape’: The Case of Shipbuilding in Lisbon

History, Volume 110, Issue 389, Page 24-48, January 2025.
Abstract Scholars have largely blamed shipbuilding for maritime expansion for being the main driver of deforestation in early modern Portugal. This article sets out to revisit the origins and reproduction of this narrative by analysing three interconnected elements in a case study of Lisbon's shipyards.

Wave‐Influenced Delta Morphodynamics, Long‐Term Sediment Bypass and Trapping Controlled by Relative Magnitudes of Riverine and Wave‐Driven Sediment Transport

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 19, 16 October 2024.
Abstract River sediment supply (Qs) and longshore sediment transport (LST) are recognized as two paramount controls on river delta morphodynamics and stratigraphy. We employed the Delft3D model to simulate the evolution of deltas from fluvial to wave‐dominated conditions, revealing the interplay between river‐ and wave‐driven sediment quantities.

Habitats of the Guadiana River estuary

, 2017
The Guadiana River estuary is the most important estuarine system in southern Portugal. The estuary’s variety of habitats supports a great diversity of species. Some of these species have only recently been discovered and are found nowhere else on Earth.

Practices and Lessons Learned in Coping with Climatic Hazards at the River-Basin Scale: Floods and Droughts

Ecology and Society, 2008
Climatic hazards such as floods and droughts have always been a primary matter of concern for human populations. Severe floods damage settlements, transport networks, and arable land.

Organic carbon and environmental quality of riverine and off-shore sediments from the Gulf of Cádiz, Spain [PDF]

, 2008
6 páginas, 2 figuras, 3 tablas, 14 referencias.-- cmartin@irnase.csic.esHere we show that heavy metal geoaccumulation is apparent in the Tinto and Odiel estuary and, at a lower magnitude, in off-shore sediments.

Exploring drought‐to‐flood interactions and dynamics: A global case review

WIREs Water, Volume 11, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
A review of the hydrological, socio‐economic, and adaptation processes underlying drought‐to‐flood interactions and dynamics. Abstract This study synthesizes the current understanding of the hydrological, impact, and adaptation processes underlying drought‐to‐flood events (i.e., consecutive drought and flood events), and how they interact.
