Continental hydrosystem modelling: the concept of nested stream–aquifer interfaces [PDF]
Coupled hydrological-hydrogeological models, emphasising the importance of the stream–aquifer interface, are more and more used in hydrological sciences for pluri-disciplinary studies aiming at investigating environmental issues.

Quantifying Drag on Floating Sargassum Patches Under Combined Air and Water Forcing
Abstract Laboratory experiments were conducted in a unidirectional air‐water flume with glass sidewalls to quantify drag forces acting on pelagic Sargassum spp. patches exposed to steady airflow and water current. Both live and surrogate patches, designed to replicate the morphology and buoyancy of natural sargassum, were tested over Reynolds numbers ...

Mise en place des îles fluviales en Loire moyenne, du 19e siècle à aujourd’hui
Downstream of the confluence with the Allier River, the Middle Loire River is characterized by a fluvial bed with semi-embanked channel. The wooded islands are ubiquitous throughout the river’s landscape, and are areas of active vegetalization in the ...

Semi‐arid ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to elevated N deposition. However, there is still a critical gap in understanding the impact of N:P imbalance by considering biophysical changes and biogeochemical cycle. This study presents the complex scale‐dependent warming and cooling effects due to altered nutrient balance on the Mediterranean semi ...

Managing saltwater intrusion in coastal arid regions and its societal implications for agriculture [PDF]
Coastal aquifers in arid and semiarid regions are particularly at risk due to intrusion of salty marine water. Since groundwater is predominantly used in irrigated agriculture, its excessive pumping – above the natural rate of replenishment ...

ABSTRACT How the organisational dimension of public policy influences climate change anticipation is a critical, yet underexplored, question. This is especially so at the local scale where many climate‐related interests are brokered. In this article, we argue that any analysis of the influence of de‐centralised organisations on climate change ...

A model of plant strategies in fluvial hydrosystems [PDF]
Summary1. We propose a model of plant strategies in temperate fluvial hydrosystems that considers the hydraulic and geomorphic features that control plant recruitment, establishment and growth in river floodplains.2. The model describes first how the disturbance gradient and the grain‐size of the river bed load affect the relative proportion of erosion

Abstract Groundwater drought represents one of the most pervasive and difficult‐to‐monitor forms of water scarcity, threatening the reliability of freshwater supply for over 2 billion people worldwide, agricultural productivity, and ecosystem health.

Long-term temporal trajectories to enhance restoration efficiency and sustainability on large rivers: an interdisciplinary study [PDF]
While the history of a fluvial hydrosystem can provide essential knowledge on present functioning, historical context remains rarely considered in river restoration.

Abstract While the impacts of subsurface fluxes on mediating hydrologic response to droughts are often ignored, several studies indicate that baseflow can sustain rivers during droughts and decrease the vulnerability of water supplies. Therefore, given the increasing impacts of droughts on economic and environmental issues, understanding the baseflow ...
