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.

Undrained peatland areas disturbed by surrounding drainage : A large scale GIS analysis in Finland with a special focus on aapa mires [PDF]
, 2019 Half of the Finnish peatland area is drained for forestry. The remaining undrained peatlands are not all pristine, because surrounding drainage may disturb their hydrology.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Temperate fens with only incipient, subtle signs of deterioration can be reliably identified using Sentinel‐2 and aerial imagery, which sensitively detect early productivity‐related structural changes. Abstract Small temperate fens rank among the most endangered habitats in temperate Europe.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...

Science Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article is based on a study that examines the practices and perspectives of selected educational actors in Kalimantan, Indonesia, on climate change education. The region is highly affected by climate crises and holds global relevance for mitigation due to its tropical forests and peatlands.

, 2000 The Mackenzie valley is characterized by vast peatlands dominated by two classes, bog and fen; the former is generally frozen and ground ice is common, the latter is unfrozen. Large peatlands are associated with broad featureless glaciolacustrine or till plains while smaller ones occur in low-lying areas between till or eolian ridges.
