Nitrogen transformation and retention in riparian buffer zones

, 2003
Diffuse pollution of nutrients and pesticides from agricultural areas is increasingly recognised as a major problem in water management. Ecotechnological measures as constructed wetlands and riparian buffer zones clearly have an important role in the reduction of diffuse pollution by removing and modifying pollutants from agricultural runoff.

Quantitative Evaluation of Baseflow Separation Methods Using an Integrated Hydrologic Model in a Snow‐Dominated Watershed

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Baseflow constitutes over half of streamflow in mountainous headwaters of the western United States (US), making accurate quantification critical for water resource management. However, traditional baseflow separation methods are often arbitrary and ambiguous, complicating validation.

Rappahannock County Riparian Buffer Study

, 2006
Riparian buffers (land bordering streams) are important zones for maintaining water quality and providing critical habitat. Rappahannock County has a rural landscape that presents the opportunity to record baseline conditions of riparian buffers.

Quantifying Groundwater–Surface Water Exchange on a River Island: A Comparative Analysis of Direct and Indirect Methods

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Groundwater–surface water exchange is a key hydrological process that governs river water quality and aquatic ecosystems. However, the quantification of such exchange remains uncertain, especially within river island aquifers where exchange processes are highly heterogeneous.

Effects of Reduced Precipitation and Water Level Variability on Phytoplankton Dynamics and Thermal Structure in a Large Tropical Reservoir

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Drought is one of the most severe and complex natural hazards causing changes in water balance and impeding crucial water‐dependent ecosystem services. Over the last 25 years, multiple severe droughts linked to El Niño events have affected the Zambian and Zimbabwean regions.

Can landscape management provide disease regulation services? A case study of Brazilian spotted fever incidence

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.
Policy implications. Our results can help prioritize surveillance strategies and the implementation of preventive measures, particularly in areas where landscape structures cannot provide disease regulation services. Landscape management actions aimed at increasing the amount of forest areas in a more aggregated manner could help restore those ...

Species specific earthworm mediated nutrient dynamics in riparian buffer zones

Applied Soil Ecology
To halt further water quality deterioration, riparian buffer zones have been constructed to reduce diffuse nutrient inputs from agriculture. The efficiency of buffer zone nutrient removal is, however, highly variable. Here, we argue that this may be due to the poorly understood contribution of earthworms to buffer zone nutrient dynamics.

A network analysis of failure pathways for fish and fish habitat offsets

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Biodiversity offsets are widely used to compensate for environmental impacts, yet failures often arise from interacting factors rather than isolated issues. By analyzing co‐occurrence patterns across 48 fish and fish habitat case studies, we identify five recurring failure syndromes: foundational, implementation uncertainty, biological, hydrological ...

Landscape Mapping Reveals Depth‐Dependent Regional Heterogeneity in Soil Microbial Diversity

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To identify microbial hotspots and investigate the spatial distribution and assembly mechanisms of soil bacterial and archaeal communities across a coastal ecosystem, and to assess implications for biodiversity conservation and sustainable land management. Location Yellow River Delta, China (YRD, ~13,680 km2 coastal plain). Methods A total
