Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

The Role of Sediment Supply on Fish Habitat Dynamics of a Morphologically Active River Widening
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Restoration measures, such as river widening, aim to reactivate key morphodynamic processes, which are critical drivers of fluvial habitat dynamics. While some evidence supports the important role of sediment supply on river widening's morphology, its link to fish habitat availability and dynamics remains unclear.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We demonstrate that high‐resolution multispectral imagery combined with machine learning can accurately predict key biocrust functional indicators, particularly the UV‐protective pigment scytonemin, across dryland ecosystems. Using fine‐scale imagery acquired in the Chihuahuan Desert and Colorado Plateau, we identified spectral bands strongly ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.A LightGBM‐based ensemble learning framework with SHAP interpretability analysis was developed for predicting ceiling temperature in canyon‐wind tunnel fires. The model demonstrated robust generalization (R2 = 0.7476) under unseen extreme conditions, with fire‐source location identified as the primary factor driving temperature evolution.

Coastal landforms and landscapes
, 2012 Coastal geomorphology is the study of coastal landforms and their evolution over time. In this topic, we set the scene for discussing the variety of coastal landforms and landscapes and the major climatic and oceanic forces that shaped them during their ...
