Application of a Presumptive Standards Approach to Evaluate Environmental Flows in a Highly Regulated River Basin

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presumptive standards approach to environmental flows offers a method to develop interim guidelines for ecological and social‐cultural flow needs. The approach is based on deriving acceptable percent‐of‐flow limits based on naturalised flows (the absence of depletion or alteration of flow), and it can be an effective precursor to a full ...

Optimal regulation pattern of water resources in a multi-source irrigation system in southern China

Agricultural Water Management
Optimizing water management patterns significantly enhances water−use efficiency in multi-source irrigation districts. Current research remains limited on optimizing multi-water source allocation within irrigation systems.

Spatial Patterns of Avian Stable Isotopes Reveal Ecological Impacts of Climate and Land‐Use Change

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Increased feather δ15N values with pasture coverage reveal an elevated baseline δ15N in grazing landscapes, while broader isotopic niches in farmland habitats reflect agricultural expansion's significant influence on resource use patterns of the avian community.

Determining a water budget for an established tailwater recovery system in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment
In the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, also known as the Delta, tailwater recovery (TWR) on‐farm storage (OFS) systems are a best management practice to address both water quality and quantity issues.

Key agroecosystems for the conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Europe

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural expansion and intensification are driving amphibian and reptile declines worldwide. However, sustainably managed agroecosystems can support a high diversity of herpetofauna, which play a key role in pest control, reducing crop damage.

Practical recommendations for researchers engaging in on‐farm research

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Though on‐farm research is crucial for addressing agricultural needs, it presents challenges that can derail projects if not addressed. Unlike small plot or greenhouse studies, on‐farm research evaluates tradeoffs in real‐world systems, offers access to diverse environments, and relies on farmer–researcher collaboration.

Successful Treatment of Refractory Inspissated Bile Syndrome Using Gastrografin

Journal of Clinical Interventional Radiology ISVIR
Inspissated bile syndrome (IBS) is a rare cause of obstructive jaundice in infants. Despite drainage and irrigation, obstruction may persist in some cases with limited further options. This report presents a case of persistent IBS in a 5-month-old female

Surface Drainage and Mulching Drip-Irrigated Tomatoes Reduces Soil Salinity and Improves Fruit Yield. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
A study on the effects of mulched drip irrigation combined with surface drainage on saline soil and tomatoes was conducted in coastal areas of eastern China, where the crops are subjected to excessive salt. The treatments contained three irrigation rates-

Concentrations of cadmium and arsenic species in rice from production‐scale fields in Arkansas under variable water management

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) accumulates arsenic when grown under flooded conditions; therefore, alternative water management strategies have shown promise in decreasing grain arsenic. We analyzed polished white rice grain from 103 field‐years of production for arsenic and cadmium.
