Synergistic Design of Biomass Materials for Moisture‐Induced Electricity Generation

CleanMat, EarlyView.
This review explores moisture‐induced electricity generation using natural biomass platforms. It explains how intrinsic polar groups and hierarchical pore networks drive ambient water adsorption, ion dissociation, and directional charge transport.

How submerged aquatic vegetation affects the hydrological connectivity in wetlands: A modeling study of the largest wetland in North China

Ecological Indicators
Wetlands, as one of the most critical natural ecosystems, face increasingly prominent threats of degradation, with the continuous decline of hydrological connectivity being considered a key cause. However, the impact of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV)

Modelling hydrological connectivity of tropical floodplain wetlands via a combined natural and artificial stream network

, 2014
The ecological condition and biodiversity values of floodplain wetlands are highly dependent on the hydrological connectivity of wetlands to adjacent rivers.

Exponentially‐constrained Gaussian mixture model for quantifying vertical development of water‐conducting fracture zones in lithologically stratified mining roofs

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes an exponentially‐constrained Gaussian mixture model (EcGMM) to quantify vertical fracture heterogeneity in stratified roof strata. The model integrates a piecewise exponential decay term capturing global stress dissipation with Gaussian components representing localized fracture intensification at lithological interfaces.

Probabilistic characterization of seepage‐induced tunnel face failure via a two‐phase double‐point material point method

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
To address seepage‐induced tunnel face collapse, this study develops a two‐phase double‐point MPM framework to capture large‐deformation hydro‐mechanical interactions. Incorporating a cementation‐based constitutive model with dynamic permeability updates, the model is successfully validated against saturated granular‐column collapse experiments ...

Rising, falling, stalling: complex biodiversity trajectories in English rivers

Ecography, EarlyView.
Freshwater ecosystems face intense anthropogenic pressures. Yet in parts of Europe, including the UK, studies have documented widespread increases in macroinvertebrate diversity following investments to improve water quality. More recent analyses, however, suggest that these gains have slowed, plateaued, or even reversed. Despite increasing recognition

Hydrological connectivity in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams

, 2017
In intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (hereafter, IRES), hydrological connectivity mediated by either flowing or nonflowing water extends along three spatial dimensions-longitudinal, lateral, and vertical-and varies over time.
