Quantifying the Role of Vegetation in Reducing Erosion on Post‐Mining Landforms: An Experimental Approach

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For post‐mining landscapes, erosion rates need to be demonstrably similar to that of the surrounding areas. Post‐mining landscapes are assessed (usually with a numerical model) to determine their erosion potential both in the pre‐ and post‐construction phases. Field plots, which rely on natural rainfall, provide the most reliable data; however,

Hydrochemical Characteristics of Four Retreating Glacier Forefields Off the Coast of Admiralty Bay (King George Island, Maritime Antarctic): Diverse Sources of Metals and Metalloids

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of geological, marine and anthropogenic sources on metal and metalloid concentrations in the forefields of four glaciers (Ecology, Sphinx, Tower and Windy) on King George Island, Antarctic. Water samples were collected at the beginning and end of the hydrological season (austral summer, December 2021 to February ...

Nutrient enrichment—but not warming—increases nitrous oxide emissions from shallow lake mesocosms

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Shallow lakes and ponds play a crucial role in the processing of carbon and other nutrients. However, many lakes and ponds worldwide are affected by climate change and nutrient pollution. How these pressures affect the emission of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) is unclear.

Seagrasses under stress: Independent negative effects of elevated temperature and light reduction at multiple levels of organization

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Seagrasses are important foundation species, which support coastal biodiversity and provide socioeconomic benefits. However, seagrasses are threatened by anthropogenic changes, including the elevated temperature associated with marine heatwaves (MHWs) and light limitation from eutrophication or increased sedimentation.

Climate change–induced terrestrial matter runoff may decrease food web production in coastal ecosystems

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is projected to cause elevated precipitation in northern Europe, leading to increased runoff of terrestrial matter to coastal areas. The consequences for food web production and ecosystem function remain unclear. A mesocosm experiment was performed to investigate the impacts of elevated terrestrial matter input, using a natural ...
