Spatiotemporal dynamics of non-floodplain ponded waterbodies in the upper Yangtze River Basin, China: A hydrological connectivity perspective

Non-floodplain ponded waterbodies (NPWs) are key nodes in upland-stream hydrological continuums, playing essential roles in flood and drought mitigation and water quality improvement.

Hydrological Connectivity of Vernal Pools [PDF]

, 2018
Vernal pools are shallow, seasonal wetlands, underlined by an impermeable or slowly permeating layer, that form in depression pools. Vernal pools in California have been decimated by land developments.

Integrating spatiotemporal hydrological connectivity into conservation planning to protect temporary rivers [PDF]

Temporary rivers (TRs) have been largely overlooked in conservation assessments. Because TRs are such dynamic ecosystems, spatial and temporal aspects of their hydrology and ecology need to be taken into account when designing conservation plans. The aim

Dicrananthera hedyotidea C. Presl. (Melastomataceae) in Maranhão state, Brazil: first record and ecological niche model of the species

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Dicrananthera C. Presl. is a monospecific genus of the tribe Marcetieae, comprising perennial herbs typically occurring in areas adjacent to wetlands. The species exhibits a disjunct distribution, with confirmed records in both the Amazon and Atlantic Forest domains.

Spatial and temporal water quality in the River Esk in relation to freshwater pearl mussels [PDF]

, 2011
Riverine systems provide networks of habitats, resources and biodiversity. Globally, riverine biodiversity is under threat due to a variety of human activities; diffuse pollution, particularly in agricultural catchments, raises challenges to river ...

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Spatio-Temporal Evolution Patterns of Hydrological Connectivity of Wetland Biodiversity Hotspots in Sanjiang Plain between 1995 and 2015

, 2023
Hydrological connectivity is the main non-biological driving factor of wetland ecological processes and is key to maintaining the stability and biodiversity of the whole ecosystem.

‘Should’ and ‘can’ active restoration be used in biodiversity offsets? Stakeholder perspectives from New South Wales, Australia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite their controversial nature, biodiversity offsets are often used as a regulatory tool to counterbalance the impacts of land clearing on biodiversity. Offsets usually aim to achieve no net loss (NNL) of biodiversity through protection and/or restoration of habitat.

Permafrost pore structure and its influence on microbial diversity: Insights from X-ray computed tomography

Geoderma
Soil pore structure plays a critical role in shaping soil microbial communities, which directly influence biogeochemical cycling. A notable impact of soil pore structure on microbial communities is the inverse relationship between microbial diversity and
