Mixing regimes in tropical high‐mountain Andean lakes
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 ...

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.

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

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
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 ...

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

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
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
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.
