Geospatial aspects of catchment hydrology [PDF]

, 2004
The catchment is a fundamental unit of study in hydrology. It is normally well defined topographically, can be studied as a series of nested units (larger catchments are made of many smaller sub-catchments), and is an open system for measuring inputs ...

Horizon scanning of potential invasive alien plant species and their distribution in Norway under a changing climate

Ecography, EarlyView.
Invasive alien plant species can cause considerable ecological, economic, and social impacts, and the number of impactful species will likely increase with globalisation and anthropogenic climate change. Preventing potentially invasive alien plant species from becoming introduced is the most cost‐effective way to protect Norway's ecosystems from future

Tidal hydrology in Pegasus Bay [PDF]

, 1967
Changes in the geomorphology of the coastal plain river mouths of Pegasus Bay over the last 100 years are considered. Comment is also made on estuarine sediment and flow, the difficulty of measuring these two quantities and the need to treat the ...

Selection of hydrological signatures for large-sample hydrology

, 2018
Hydrological signatures are now used for a wide range of purposes, including catchment classification, process exploration and hydrological model calibration. The recent boost in the popularity and number of signatures has however not been accompanied by the development of clear guidance on signature selection, meaning that signature selection is often

Trade‐offs among restored ecosystem functions are context‐dependent in Mediterranean‐type regions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global biodiversity hotspots, including Mediterranean‐type ecosystems worldwide, are highly threatened by global change that alters biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services. Some restoration activities enhance ecosystem functions by reintroducing plant species based on known relationships between plant traits and ecosystem processes.

Hydrology and World History: Rivers and Watersheds for Students

Open Rivers, 2017
How can one convey, to students of history, mankind’s intimate connections to streams, rivers, lakes, and seas? The vision of humans as landlocked inhabitants has been reaffirmed in exaggerated terms by historical texts and maps.

SpongeScapes: Understanding the role of nature-based solutions in improving sponge functioning of landscapes – the case of regenerative agriculture [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The SpongeScapes project aims to accelerate understanding Nature-based Solutions (NBS) that enhance the sponge functioning of soil, groundwater, and surface water ecosystems, improving landscape resilience against hydrometeorological extremes across ...

Nitrous oxide emissions from a peatbog after 13 years of experimental nitrogen deposition [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2017
Nitrogen deposition was experimentally increased on a Scottish peatbog over a period of 13 years (2002–2015). Nitrogen was applied in three forms, NH3 gas, NH4Cl solution, and NaNO3 solution, at rates ranging from 8 (ambient) to 64 kg N ha−1 yr−1, and

Hydrologic Transport of Dissolved Inorganic Carbon and Its Control on Chemical Weathering [PDF]

, 2017
Chemical weathering is one of the major processes interacting with climate and tectonics to form clays, supply nutrients to soil microorganisms and plants, and sequester atmospheric CO2.

A test of the abundant‐center hypothesis for stream fishes

Ecography, EarlyView.
The abundant‐center hypothesis (ACH) provides a conceptual model for predicting range‐wide distributions of species abundance, suggesting that abundance peaks in the center of the geographic range and declines towards range edges. Empirical studies testing the ACH and its subsequent derivations predominantly occurred in terrestrial systems and reported
