Influence of a protected riparian corridor on the benthic aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages of a small northern Michigan (USA) agricultural stream

Journal of Freshwater Ecology
The biotic integrity of streams is frequently compromised by anthropogenic disturbance; thus, it is important to study the potential mitigating effects of undisturbed riparian zones on streams within disturbed watersheds.

Buildings as accidental habitat: Where animals nest, sleep and forage

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3531-3551, October 2026.
Abstract Animals have long inhabited human buildings alongside us, but our understanding comes from isolated studies, such as reports of a possum in the roof or a bat in our walls. What we lack is the building's perspective: which building features actually serve as habitat and for whom?

Participatory mapping and Nature's Contributions to People: Insights from the Amazon Delta

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3618-3632, October 2026.
Abstract Understanding how traditional and coastal communities perceive and interact with nature is key to promoting inclusive conservation. This article examines human–nature interaction in the fishing village of Jubim, located in the Marajó Archipelago, delta of the Amazon River, Brazil.

Nonpoint Source Abatement Costs in the Kentucky River Watershed [PDF]

A growing share of water pollution in the U.S. can be attributed to nonpoint sources (USEPA 2002). Some of this trend can be attributed to declining point source (PS) emissions as a result of regulation under the Clean Water Act (CWA).

Assessing irrigation potential and its impact on crop productivity in the riparian zones of the Diamphwe River Basin, Malawi

Scientific African
Irrigation is vital for crop production, yet its potential is underutilised in many river basins. In Malawi, crop production is predominantly reliant on rainfall, making it vulnerable to climate change and natural disasters.

Using Deep Learning AI to Detect Riparian Vegetation Recovery Following a Major Flood in the Brisbane River

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 8, Page 1720-1735, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Post‐flood riparian vegetation recovery demands significant attention; however, the complexity of traditional remote sensing methods often hinders environmental managers from implementing rapid vegetation monitoring. This paper developed a model using a Deep Learning Model within ArcGIS to classify and detect recovery of vegetation with high ...

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 8, Page 1799-1817, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

Environmental pollution and sustainable restoration of the Yamuna River: A review of water quality, health risks, and phycoremediation

River, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 398-418, August 2026.
Abstract The Yamuna River, one of India's most significant river systems and the largest tributary of the Ganges River, serves critical ecological, socio‐economic, and cultural functions. However, rapid urbanization, industrialization, and intensive agriculture have severely degraded its water quality, resulting in extensive pollution with untreated ...

Spatiotemporal Responses of Natural Shoreline Rate and Riparian Vegetation Coverage to Cascade Hydropower Development in the Guizhou Section of the Wujiang River Basin

Redai dili
Riparian zones are among the most sensitive interfaces where watershed ecological processes interact with human activity. It remains poorly understood whether riparian ecological structure and ecological function respond synchronously (or exhibit ...

Fluvially Sourced Sediment Supply and Climate Modulate Morphodynamics and State Transitions in Bistable Aeolian Dunefields

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Alternative stable state theory in aeolian geomorphology describes the occurrence of bare and vegetated aeolian dunes in response to long‐term climatic and ecological drivers. Transitions between states, as well as their co‐occurrence (bistability), can arise from perturbations to drivers, disturbance, and associated biophysical feedbacks ...
