King rail (Rallus elegans) home range and microhabitat characteristics in western Lake Erie coastal marshes. [PDF]
We studied microhabitat and home‐range characteristics of the king rail, a secretive marsh bird of conservation concern, in the western Lake Erie region. Our results suggest that king rails in the region have mean home‐range sizes of 8.8 ha (±1.63 [SE]; range = 1.9 to 15.8) and utilize water depths of 6 to 17 cm within dense vegetation.

Developing and Validating Species Distribution Models for Wetland Plants Across Europe. [PDF]
We fitted species distribution models (SDMs) for 265 wetland plant species in Europe. We validated predicted occurrences using independent data. The SDMs showed a high predictive performance, such that our SDMs can be used to predict broad‐scale distributions of wetland plants.

Wild Bee Assemblages and Pollination Networks of Managed Emergent Wetlands in Central New York, USA. [PDF]
Wetlands are underrepresented in wild bee surveys yet we find they host a diversity of bee species and offer important late‐season floral resources. Wetland restoration and management for wildlife in the northeastern United States creates a matrix of freshwater wetland habitat that helps support the landscape's wild bee fauna.

Plant Species of Ponds and Springheads in Lorestan (Iran) [PDF]
Vegetation around springs and ponds causes water to re-infiltrate into the ground and recharge underground reservoirs. In the study of ponds and springs in Lorestan province, 108 species were identified which belong to 35 families and 64 genera ...

Scrub encroachment promotes biodiversity in temperate European wetlands under eutrophic conditions. [PDF]
We examine the effects of encroachment on biodiversity along gradients of soil moisture and soil fertility in open and wooded wetlands in Denmark. Our results support existing knowledge of the importance of nutrient poor, wet mires and meadows for rare species but on former arable lands where restoration of infertile habitats is less feasible we ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy in the Analysis of Species of the Genus Persicaria Mill
Introduction. Scanning electron microscopy acts as a promising method of analysis, allowing to describe in detail the identification features of closely related plant species, as well as to conduct micro-roentgenstructural analysis of the sample in the ...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Plant–Soil–Enzyme Interactions in Intertidal Wetlands [PDF]
This study reveals that during the exposure period in the Shengjin Lake intertidal wetland, the temporal gradient serves as the primary driving force for changes in the plant–soil–enzyme system, followed by alkaline phosphatase activity, nitrate nitrogen, and pH.

A Nyárjas-tó fitocönózisainak átalakulása = The degradation of hygrophilous plant associations of the Nyárjas Lake [PDF]
A kállósemjéni Nyárjas-tó az 1980-as évek elején még tipikus nyírségi buckaközi láp volt. Területének nagy részét eltérő tömegességi viszonyokkal jellemezhető Carici-Menyanthetum társulás borította. A karakterfajok száma magas volt.

Abstract Flooding of the town of Forres, Scotland prompted the implementation of a flood alleviation scheme (FAS) featuring a low earth‐fill dam constructed upstream of the town to create a flood retention area, limiting peak discharges entering the urban area. Flow through the dam is controlled by a weir, and it was recognised that if coarse sediment,

Ecotoxicity Thresholds for Ametryn, Diuron, Hexazinone and Simazine in Fresh and Marine Waters [PDF]
Triazine and urea herbicides are two groups of photosystem II inhibiting herbicides frequently detected in surface, ground and marine waters. Yet, there are few water quality guidelines for herbicides. Ecotoxicity thresholds (ETs) for ametryn, hexazinone
