Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

Effects of Hydrological Connectivity on Snail Assemblages in the Intertidal Zone of Coastal Wetlands

, 2019
Hydrological connectivity controls the patterns of invertebrate assemblages in wetland ecosystems. With degradation of intertidal wetlands, artificial freshwater release has become an important restoration technique.

Riverine landscape of the Middle Platte River: Hydrological connectivity and physicochemical heterogeneity

, 2003
Fluvial processes create diverse riverine habitats and sustain hydrological connectivity across broad floodplains of the Middle Platte River. The riverine habitats have hierarchical characteristics and distinctive temporal variability.

The influence of hydrological connectivity on food web structure in floodplain lakes

, 2012
Hydrological connectivity is an important driver of ecosystem structure in floodplain rivers; however, little is known of how hydrological connectivity affects the structure and functioning of food webs in these systems.

Evaluating the Role of Social Capital for the Design of Sustainable River Governance Strategies: The Case of Tagus River

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of social capital in designing and implementing more effective governance strategies to improve the state of the Tagus River's significantly deteriorated middle reach (Spain). We employed social network analysis (SNA) to evaluate the bonding, bridging and linking social capital and the quality of stakeholder ...

Climate-driven hydrological connectivity alters littoral and ice-covered ecosystems of Antarctic lake margins

Frontiers in Freshwater Science
Climate-driven glacial melt is altering polar ecosystems. Shifts in hydrological regimes have cascading effects on limno-terrestrial ecosystems. In the McMurdo Dry Valleys (Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica), year-round ice cover isolates lentic ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

From Plot to Block: Participatory Land Use for Climate‐Resilient Detached Housing in Finland

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how urban planning in Finland is adapting to climate change, focusing on the practical challenges planners face in single‐family housing areas. It draws on participatory workshops with municipal planners in Pori and Joensuu, where three planning tools—green factor metrics, impermeable surface limits, and the 3–30‐300 ...
