Natural wetlands: a nature-based solution for sediment load reduction?

, 2023
Natural wetlands are under threat in urbanizing areas, as development encroaches on waterway corridors and constructed waterways are built to convey runoff. At the same time, constructed wetlands are built to reduce pollutant loads from urban stormwater, mimicking natural wetland functions.

Dry–Hot Compound Events Driving the 2024 Pantanal Wildfires

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Extreme wildfires in the Pantanal in 2024 were driven by a cascade of heatwaves, rainfall deficits and the absence of the annual flood pulse. These conditions dried soils and rivers, enhanced fuel accumulation and enabled early and intense fire outbreaks.

Holocene sea‐level and environmental changes on the Isle of Mull, Scotland

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sea‐level and coastal changes are reconstructed on the Isle of Mull, western Scotland, from 10 988 to 10 507 cal BP to the present. This research has produced the first SLIP for the Isle of Mull. A multiproxy approach including pollen, spore, foraminifera and diatom analyses reveals palaeoenvironmental changes from two coastal sites.

Holocene palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of sea level, coastal and vegetation changes along the southern Solway Firth, United Kingdom

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Holocene relative sea level (RSL) changes were reconstructed from four sites along the less‐studied southern Solway Firth. A multiproxy approach, including lithostratigraphical and biostratigraphical analyses, combined with radiocarbon dating, produced ten sea level index points (SLIPs).

Diversity and Population Sizes of Wintering Waterbirds in the Wetlands of the Saïss–Middle Atlas Region (North–Central Morocco): Main Survival Factors and Evaluation of Habitat Loss

Animals
Moroccan wetlands host up to half a million wintering birds and provide a stopover for tens of thousands of migrants, while they are inhabited by few nesting species.

Decoupling climate and human impacts on the nitrogen cycle during the Irish Bronze Age

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disentangling climate variability and human activity in past nitrogen cycling is key to understanding ecosystems. Previous studies in Ireland observed a widespread, permanent shift in terrestrial nitrogen cycling during Later Prehistory, potentially linked to intensifying land‐use.

Investigating the Dynamic Change and Driving Force of Isolated Marsh Wetland in Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China

Land
Isolated marsh wetlands are crucial for maintaining regional hydrological connectivity and biological contiguity. The Sanjiang Plain is the most typical area of marsh wetland change in China.

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

Contrasted habitat selection among Eurasian curlew populations according to landscape heterogeneity and breeding stage

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
This study aimed to quantify the spatio‐temporal use of breeding environments by the Eurasian curlew in 5 contrasting agricultural landscapes. To this end, 64 individuals were tagged with GPS devices to assess their space use according to their breeding stages and define their foraging habitat selection.
