Survey‐based study of public perceptions and preferences for mitigating flood risk via nature‐based solutions in the United States

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Nature‐based solutions (NbS), such as reconnecting floodplains and restoring riparian wetlands, can reduce flood risk as well as provide benefits like carbon storage, habitat support, and recreation. However, wetlands and floodplains are increasingly replaced with urban development and flooding is primarily addressed with grey infrastructure ...

The importance of periodic droughts for maintaining diversity in the freshwater environment [PDF]

, 1996
Whereas some species may rely on periodic drought conditions for part of their life histories, or have life strategies suited to exploiting the habitat or changed environmental conditions that are created by drought, for other organisms it is a time of ...

Hydropower resettlement reshapes human–nature relationships: Insights from Southwestern China

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding how hydropower migrants perceive nature's contributions to people (NCP) and how these perceptions relate to their subjective well‐being (SWB) is essential for informing resettlement policies that promote a good quality of life. How hydropower migrants' perceived NCP affects SWB remains poorly understood.

Electrified rhythms: How hydropower infrastructure transforms hydrosocial relations of riverine communities in the Lower Sogamoso River, Colombia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Hydropower dams regulate water flows for millions of downstream inhabitants worldwide, altering water availability. Under a changing climate, flow control is often framed technically and politically as being essential for reducing drought and flood risks. However, it can also disrupt ecological flows, impact livelihoods and erode environmental

Capacity building needed to reap the benefits of access to biodiversity collections

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global conservation efforts increasingly depend on digitised natural history collections, yet the benefits of this digital data are not equally shared. We analysed biodiversity specimens and citation data from Montserrat and the Cayman Islands to assess who collected these specimens, how they are used, and by whom.

Hydrological degradation of automorphic soils in agricultural landscapes

Dokuchaev Soil Bulletin, 2012
The impoverishment of physical and water properties resulted from the use in agriculture for a long period of time is exemplified by soddy-podzolic, gray soils and chernozems. Alternation of natural (forest, meadow and steppe) coenoses by agrocoenoses leads to degradation of soils, impoverishment of their temperature and water regimes, water supply and

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.
