Mixing regimes in tropical high‐mountain Andean lakes

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 10, Page 2872-2892, October 2025.
Abstract Lowland tropical lakes deeper than 15 m are typically warm monomictic, but whether the regime may switch to polymixis at high elevations remains uncertain. Using a year‐long high‐frequency dataset from thermistor chains from 10 deep lakes and occasional temperature profiles from 202 lakes in Ecuador's Cajas Massif, this study examines the ...

Hydrological Effects of the Westward Expansion of Mediterranean Climate and Revegetation in Atlantic–Mediterranean Transitional Headwaters

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 39, Issue 6, June 2025.
Six Spanish mid‐mountain catchments in a transitional Atlantic–Mediterranean ecotone reveal a westward expansion of Mediterranean climate: reduced spring precipitation in historically Atlantic catchments and increased autumn rainfall, coupled with rising temperatures and widespread greening.

Achieving sustainable water distribution through penalty‐free multi‐objective evolutionary design optimization

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 499-525, May 2025.
Abstract Water distribution networks are costly long‐term investments, prompting researchers to seek cost reduction and efficient design solutions using optimization techniques. In this context, the Penalty‐Free Multi‐Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (PFMOEA) is employed alongside pressure‐dependent analysis (PDA) to optimize water distribution systems

‘Sowing and harvesting water’: Revisiting forest restoration in the Peruvian Andes through a multi‐stakeholder analysis

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 631-652, March 2025.
Abstract Efforts to restore Peru's megadiverse Andean Forests are rapidly growing. While ecological determinants for restoration success are well known, knowledge on the socio‐economic and governance conditions that allow for the success of ecological restoration using native species is scarce.

Threats posed by land use to water quality in South Africa's strategic water source areas

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 155-164, February 2025.
Abstract Understanding the negative impacts of land use/land cover (LULC) on water quality is key to developing effective integrated catchment management strategies. However, in line with the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) philosophy, this necessitates the generation and application of useful scientific knowledge, which stakeholders and ...

Ensuring sustainable water security through sustainable land management: Research evidences for policy

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 1170-1186, November 2024.
Abstract Sustainable land management (SLM) practices is a key to reducing rates of land degradation and has proven to ensure water security by increasing soil moisture availability, decreasing surface runoff, decreasing soil erosion, increasing infiltration, and decreasing flood discharge. Land degradation is adversely affecting over 75% of the Earth's

Maximizing synergies between state and non‐state actors to enhance water governance in the Cubango‐Okavango River basin

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 1187-1222, November 2024.
Abstract The inherent complexity of governing transboundary social–ecological systems like the Cubango‐Okavango River Basin (CORB) has given rise to various governance frameworks like integrated water resource management (IWRM) and adaptive governance. While these may work in theory and some specific contexts, current discordance between formal (state)

Integrated water resources management and the land‐water nexus: A South African perspective

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 10, Issue 3, Page 755-779, August 2024.
Abstract As a source of diffuse pollution, land use/land cover (LULC) can have profound impacts on water quality. Accordingly, the importance of managing the land‐water nexus is often emphasized in the rhetoric of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).

An ecological perspective for analysing rural depopulation and abandonment

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 490-506, April 2024.
Abstract Population loss in rural areas is rapidly increasing in high‐income countries, raising concerns and debate, given its socio‐economic consequences. Despite the evident environmental dimension of the phenomenon, ecological knowledge has been neglected in the analysis of actions aiming to reverse rural depopulation.
