Boreas, EarlyView.A long‐term perspective on landscape evolution is critical for understanding past land‐use activity, land cover–climate feedbacks and, notably, for establishing a factual basis for conservation. Fossil pollen analysis provides a means to achieve this. Biases pertaining to pollen productivity, pollination processes and basin size, however, mean there is

Evolution of low-karstified rock-blocks and their influence on reservoir leakage: a modelling perspective [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System SciencesHydraulic structures such as dams and reservoirs pose significant construction challenges in karst areas due to severe and costly leakage issues. In this study, we apply a numerical model to test the hypothesis that karst aquifers in water divide areas ...

Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Replicated pairs of ancestral and evolutionarily derived populations provide opportunities to test hypotheses about the deterministic laws of evolution. The Asellus aquaticus species complex is an invertebrate model system with several independent surface‐to‐cave transitions and a complicated and unresolved evolutionary history.

Alpine karst waters in Slovenia
Acta Carsologica, 2016 Some basic characteristics of the alpine karst waters in Slovenia are presented. By the method of hydrological balance it was estimated that their groundwater reserves can supply a spring with an average discharge 115 m3/s. According to the comparison between the extent of the alpine karst and the EIONET-SI data base on springs it was stated, that for ...

Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Subterranean ecosystems harbour exceptional biodiversity shaped by adaptation to extreme environments, yet remain poorly explored. Cave organisms, restricted to small, isolated populations, are extinction‐prone, making integrative species delimitation essential for biodiversity assessment and conservation.

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers
Groundwater, EarlyView.Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...
