Comparative analysis of ephemeral river ecosystem services in agricultural and natural landscapes in mediterranean environments. A practical approach to Caia River (Portugal) [PDF]
Mediterranean landscapes present a large amount of biodiversity and ecosystems leading to their unique identity. In fact, it is increasingly acknowledged that these ecosystems provide a large range of benefits, not only for the area where they are ...

Phylogenetic relationships of South American Alligatorids and the Caiman of Madeira River
AbstractWe analyzed DNA sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (cyt b), the nuclear Recombination Activating Gene 1 (RAG1) and the myelocytomatosis oncogene (MYC) to infer the phylogenetic relationship of Caiman crocodilus and Caiman yacare, and other South American alligatorid crocodilian species.

Riverine solute fluxes peak during the wet season, emphasising the role of tropical rainfall in driving nutrient delivery to the ocean. Seasonal peaks in nutrient fluxes highlight the need for longer‐term monitoring to detect potential interannual trends.

Morphologische Entwicklung des Ucayali in Peru ohne menschliche Einflüsse [PDF]
The Ucayali River originates in the high Andean Mountains near the city of Cusco in Peru. After about 1,600 km, it joins with the Marañón River. Both the Ucayali River and the Marañón River are sources of the Amazon.

Characteristics of heavy metals and their evaluation in suspended sediments from Piracicaba river basin (São Paulo, Brazil) [PDF]
Fluxes of the particulate heavy metals like chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) were determined along the Piracicaba River basin.

ABSTRACT This study was conducted to assess the impact of different agricultural practices on the physical quality and the carbon and nitrogen stocks of anthropogenic soils used by smallholder farmers in Central Amazonia, Brazil. Undisturbed and disturbed soil samples were collected at three depths (0–0.10 m, 0.10–0.20 m, and 0.20–0.30 m), with five ...

Critical Slowing Down Reveals Hydrologic Resilience Loss Across Amazon Sub‐Basins
Abstract The Amazon's hydroclimate exhibits basin‐scale early‐warning signals of critical slowing down (CSD), a statistical signature of declining resilience as systems approach critical transitions. We apply a multi‐metric framework to precipitation, evapotranspiration, Soil moisture (SM), and extreme streamflows, tracking rolling variance, lag‐1 ...

Abstract Reservoir regulation significantly alters the export and flux of terrestrial particulate organic carbon (POC), while also modifying its composition and fate within fluvial systems. However, the effects of different regulatory regimes on riverine POC persistence and transformation remains uncertain.

An Improved molecular tool for distinguishing monoecious and dioedious Hydrilla [PDF]
Two biotypes of hydrilla [Hydrilla verticillata(L.f.) Royle] occur in the United States, a dioecious type centered in the southeast and a monoecious type in the central Atlantic and northeastern states.
