Quantifying the Role of Vegetation in Reducing Erosion on Post‐Mining Landforms: An Experimental Approach

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For post‐mining landscapes, erosion rates need to be demonstrably similar to that of the surrounding areas. Post‐mining landscapes are assessed (usually with a numerical model) to determine their erosion potential both in the pre‐ and post‐construction phases. Field plots, which rely on natural rainfall, provide the most reliable data; however,

Deltaic engineering‐induced accumulation hides erosion in response to fluvial sediment decline in the Yangtze submarine shoal

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract Worldwide river deltas are impacted by human activities and climatic change, but it has been challenging to quantify their contributions due to nonlinear natural processes and a lack of long‐term geomorphological data. Time‐series bathymetric data were collected at submarine Hengsha Shoal in the Yangtze Delta during 11 repeat surveys over 60 ...

Populism and policy capacity: Evidence from an opposition municipality in Istanbul

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite achievements in its conceptual rigor, policy capacity still represents a relatively depoliticized concept that fails to sufficiently consider the ways in which politics plays a role in its creation, mobilization, or decay. This article seeks to contribute to this debate by investigating the impact of populism on policy capacity, the ...

Local people in both frontier and intensifying landscapes in Ecuador desire forest restoration that provides multiple benefits

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Forest restoration is being promoted globally as an action that addresses multiple challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss and poverty. But restoration projects will only persist over the long term if their goals are aligned with local people's interests and priorities.

Decadal Variability of Differential Frost Heave on Incipient Sorted Patterned Ground in the Southern Japanese Alps

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Differential frost heave between fine (earthy) and coarse (gravelly) domains was monitored over 10 years (2013–2023) on a mountain‐top flat ground subjected to both frequent diurnal and deep seasonal freezing. Monitoring objects include, ground heave, soil temperature down to 55 cm, soil moisture, air temperature, rainfall, and snow depth. The

Assessing sediment enrichment ratio in Mai-Negus catchment, northern Ethiopia

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2014
Soil degradation is a threat to sustainable development in Ethiopia. However, degradation indicators, such as sediment enrichment ratio (SER), are not adequately documented in literature. This study aims to investigate the SER of different erosion-status

Environmental Conditions in the Late Pleistocene at the Southern Margin of the European Periglacial Domain (Hungary) Inferred From Quartz Grain Microtextures

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper investigates environmental conditions prevailing at the southern margin of the European periglacial domain in NW Hungary (Kemeneshát area) during the Late Pleistocene. Samples of sediments infilling sand wedges and their host sediments were analyzed by examining the grain‐size distributions, as well as the morphology and ...

Geomorphology of glaciated gorges in a granitic massif (Gredos range, central Spain)

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2018
A detailed geomorphological map on a 1:10,000 scale is presented for a high mountain area in Gredos range (Iberian Central System). Only few detailed geomorphological maps of the range are available despite the wide diversity of landforms.

Ambient Seismic Noise and Microseismicity Monitoring of Periglacial Bodies: A Case Study on the Gran Sometta Rock Glacier (NW Italian Alps)

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ambient seismic noise and microseismicity analyses are increasingly applied for the monitoring of landslides and natural hazards. These methodologies can offer a valuable monitoring tool also for glacial and periglacial bodies, to understand the internal processes driven by external modifications in air temperature and rainfall/snowfall ...
