The effect of buffer strip width and selective logging on streamside plant communities
BMC Ecology, 2019 Background Riparian forests surrounding streams host high biodiversity values, but are threatened by clear-cut logging. Narrow buffer strips of about 15 m are commonly left between the stream and the clear-cut, but studies suggest that the buffer width ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Groundwater discharge plays a key role in maintaining habitat suitability for cold‐water fish by generating streamflow and modulating temperatures. However, the thermal influence depends on groundwater source depth and how far groundwater travels from the point of discharge to a receiving stream.

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 ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban greenspaces are a haven for wildlife in densely populated cities. Wildlife use greenspaces for resource acquisition, shelter, and travel across urbanized landscapes. Greenspace metrics such as herbaceous or woody landcover, size, patchiness, and human land use influence species richness.

Biology, ecology, and conservation of the Italian hare Lepus corsicanus: a review
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The Italian hare Lepus corsicanus, an endemic lagomorph of Italy, serves as a critical case study in evolutionary biology and conservation. Once taxonomically debated, modern genetic and morphological analyses confirm its status as a distinct Pleistocene lineage restricted to the central‐southern Italian Peninsula and Sicily.

The Review on the Research for the Interception Mechanism and Effects of Riparian Buffer Zone
Shuitu baochi yanjiu, 2010 Riparian buffer zone,usually adjacent to rivers（including wetlands and lakes）,is referred to the domain between land and aquatic ecosystem which has buffering functions on pollutants,sediment and flood.It is one of the most important measures for ...

Riparian forest buffer management in Norway: Evaluating adherence to certification standards
Trees, Forests and PeopleRiparian buffers are important for maintaining the ecological function of the riparian forest surrounding watercourses upon harvest. The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), the world’s largest certification system by forest area,

Influence of Landscape Elements in Riparian Buffers on the Conservation of Semiaquatic Amphibians [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2009 Abstract: Studies on riparian buffers have usually focused on the amount of land needed as habitat for the terrestrial life stages of semiaquatic species. Nevertheless, the landscape surrounding wetlands is also important for other key processes, such as dispersal and the dynamics of metapopulations.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Using radiotelemetry, we found that the movement and home range of the endangered Sacalia bealei varied significantly across reproductive classes and seasons, with males exhibiting greater movement than females during wet and mating seasons. The species exhibits strong aquatic dependence, favoring deep pools interspaced among riffle‐pool sequences ...
