Abstract Glacier retreat is projected to drive major shifts in the hydrology of many high‐elevation and high‐latitude watersheds. In particular, future decreases in glacier runoff are hypothesized to reduce the stability of hydro‐biogeochemical export.

From Symbolism to Action: Financing Wetland Protection in a Warming World
ABSTRACT February 2, World Wetlands Day, highlights the vital role of wetlands in biodiversity, climate regulation, food systems and human livelihoods. Although they cover a small fraction of Earth's surface, wetlands provide a disproportionate share of ecosystem services and mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration.

Management of the environmental restoration of degraded areas
The aim of this work was to study ecotechnology for the management of degraded areas originally covered by the Atlantic Rainforest and located at the coordinates 25º31'50''S, 9º09'30''W. The area included 12 islands, each consisting of six jute bags with

Tropical forest and peatland conservation in Indonesia: Challenges and directions
Tropical forests and peatlands provide important ecological, climate and socio‐economic benefits from the local to the global scale. However, these ecosystems and their associated benefits are threatened by anthropogenic activities, including ...

The native‐dominated vegetation on roadside slopes primarily originates from adjacent forests, with long‐distance dispersal traits enhancing spontaneous colonization in these disturbed environments. The species composition and phylogenetic similarity between slope and forest communities are significantly influenced by the adjacent forests (species ...

The Impact of Biochar Addition on the Water Quality of a Lowland Peat Ecosystem
Biochar is a refractory material in the environment, as such has been proposed in this study as a method to enhance carbon storage in peatlands. This study is the first to assess the effect of biochar on water quality and found no evidence of detrimental impact of biochar addition on water quality in and from these peat soils. Therefore, changing water

The Pool Burn basin is a tectonic depression that became almost isolated from the regional drainage system by river reorientation during Pleistocene uplift of surrounding ridges. Consequently, detrital gold in the basin was largely locally derived, from supergene zones on orogenic deposits and recycled from paleoplacers in erosional remnants of Miocene
