Community acceptance of nature‐based solutions for coastal flood risk management

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Coastal areas are increasingly vulnerable to climate change impacts, such as rising sea levels and more frequent storm events, necessitating urgent adaptation strategies. Various adaptation approaches exist, including hard engineering solutions and nature‐based solutions, but whether these strategies are implemented often depends on social ...

The relationship between land management and the nature of helophytes in small lakes (Eastern Poland)

Limnological Review, 2016
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the development of rush zones in small lakes and the utilization and condition of surrounding lands. Generally, the width of the helophyte zone increased along shores with gentle slopes (>5˚)

Ground Temperature Monitoring During the Period 2004–2024 Indicates Permafrost Degradation in the Austrian Alps

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term time series on changes in the cryosphere are becoming increasingly important. This study presents data from 20 years of ground temperature monitoring from the eastern‐most confirmed permafrost site in the European Alps (Hochreichart, Austria) spanning the period 2004–2024.

Permafrost Mass Wasting in Ice‐Rich Landscapes: Recent Advances (2013 to 2024) on Mechanisms, Dynamics and Impacts

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across circumpolar permafrost regions, climate change is destabilizing ice‐rich hillslopes, increasing the frequency and magnitude of thaw‐driven mass wasting. This paper reviews recent studies (2013–2024) on thaw‐driven mass wasting, focusing on the processes, morphology and trajectories of geomorphic change and their implications for ...

A Decade of Post‐Fire Succession Amplifies the Effect of Wildfire on the Surface Radiation Balance and Permafrost Thaw in Subarctic Peatlands

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasing wildfire activity is driving permafrost thaw in subarctic peatlands across the southern Northwest Territories, but the key mechanisms and progression of thaw following fire remain poorly understood. In response, 10 years (2015–2024) of near‐continuous surface (four‐component radiation, wind, and snow) and subsurface measurements ...

Small-Scale Soil Microbial Community Heterogeneity Linked to Landform Historical Events on King George Island, Maritime Antarctica

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Although research on microbial biogeography has made great progress in the past decade, distributions of terrestrial microbial communities in extreme environments such as Antarctica are not well understood.

Holocene Glacial–Paraglacial–Periglacial Transitions of a Sub‐Arctic Glacial Cirque, Fremri‐Grasárdalur, Northern Iceland

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to study a variety of glacial, periglacial and paraglacial features found in a small cirque, Fremri‐Grasárdalur, in Tröllaskagi (Northern Iceland). We implement a multidisciplinary approach combining high‐resolution geomorphological mapping, horizontal/vertical boulder displacement (from 1994 to 2019) and surface ...

Macroclimate and Topography Interact to Influence the Abundance of Divaricate Plants in New Zealand

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The abundance of the divaricate growth form in New Zealand has been interpreted as either (a) the response of an isolated flora to cool, dry, Plio-Pleistocene climates; or (b) a defense against large browsing birds (moa) that were hunted to extinction ...

Morphology of Antarctic Polygons and Implications for Polygon Evolution and Subsurface Ice Dynamics

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polygonal terrain results from thermal contraction, is commonly found in periglacial environments, and serves as a valuable proxy for interpreting subsurface ice distribution and climate history on Earth and Mars. In this study, we investigate the morphology of polygons in Beacon Valley, Antarctica, to assess the relationship between polygon ...
