Evaluating the impact of roof rainwater harvesting on hydrological connectivity and urban flood mitigation

Results in Engineering
Urban flooding, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions, has become a growing concern in densely populated metropolitan areas. Roof rainwater harvesting is a form of low impact development that offers an effective solution for mitigating urban ...

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,

Evaluating the sustainability of mineral water consumption using multi‐scale hydrogeophysics in Caxambu, Brazil

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract A better understanding of the near‐surface aquifer system of the Caxambu Water Park, located in the Minas Gerais State, Brazil, has been achieved. The study aimed to identify groundwater reservoirs and flow patterns and contribute to the hydrogeological conceptual model using a multi‐scale geophysical approach.

Evaluation and optimization of urban hydrological connectivity based on graph theory: A case study in Chengdu, China

Ecological Informatics
The standardization of river system structures has reduced hydrological connectivity, exerting significant pressure on both river ecology and urban development. The precise diagnosis and proposal of optimization strategies remain key challenges.

Impacts of reindeer grazing on phosphorus sorption and nutrient availability in a tundra site

Oikos, EarlyView.
Reindeer Rangifer tarandus, a large circumpolar herbivore, can influence whether nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P) is the primary limiting nutrient in tundra plant communities. Specifically, findings from a site in northern Scandinavia suggest that under conditions where reindeer grazing stimulates inorganic N availability, grazing may drive ecosystems ...

‘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.
