Novel indicator for assessing wetland degradation based on the index of hydrological connectivity and its correlation with the root-soil interface

Ecological Indicators, 2021
In this study, an innovative method was used to assess the spatial and temporal patterns of the hydrological connectivity in soil profiles in the Yellow River Delta wetland. In this method, field dye-tracing experiments conducted in the study area (i.e.,

Is the Hyporheic Zone Relevant beyond the Scientific Community? [PDF]

, 2019
Rivers are important ecosystems under continuous anthropogenic stresses. The hyporheic zone is a ubiquitous, reactive interface between the main channel and its surrounding sediments along the river network. We elaborate on the main physical, biological,

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...

Sediment structure and physicochemical changes following tidal inundation at a large open coast managed realignment site [PDF]

, 2018
Managed realignment (MR) schemes are being implemented to compensate for the loss of intertidal saltmarsh habitats by breaching flood defences and inundating the formerly defended coastal hinterland.

A novel construction approach for the pore structure model principally focuses on the controllable roundness of rock particles

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Particle rounding effects comparison of different methods: (a), (b), and (c) are the rounding results using the B‐spline curve method with different R; (d), (e), and (f) are the results of vertex rounding substitution method with different rounding radii.

Strengthening urban resilience in China through underground infrastructures management: Addressing global climate challenges with technological solutions

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper explores how climate‐resilient technologies, such as smart grids, digital twins, and self‐healing materials, can enhance urban resilience. It highlights the urgent need for proactive planning, public‐private collaboration, and data‐driven innovation to future‐proof underground infrastructure amid accelerating climate and urban pressures ...

Does functional soil microbial diversity contribute to explain within-site plant beta-diversity in an alpine grassland and a dehesa meadow in Spain? [PDF]

, 2017
Questions: Once that the effects of hydrological and chemical soil properties have been accounted for, does soil microbial diversity contribute to explain change in plant community structure (i.e. within-site beta-diversity)?

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Relationships between hydrological connectivity and river-lake ecospace in urban-rural areas

HydroResearch
Hydrological connectivity refers to a water-mediated transfer of matter, energy, and organisms in the hydrological cycle and plays a key role in shaping river-lake ecospace and their relevant functions. However, the river-lake ecospace is usually used to
