Late Holocene riparian vegetation dynamics, environmental changes, and human impact in the Harapan forest of Sumatra, Indonesia

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Riparian wetland ecosystems provide important ecological services but are also vulnerable to climate change and human activities. To understand the influence of natural factors (e.g.

Environmental Statecraft, Fragmented Authoritarianism, and Technocratic Governance: The Structure and Agency of China's Local Environmental Politics

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local environmental politics in China is often said to be dominated by state‐controlled modes of multi‐level governance. However, top‐down governance is embedded within and transformed by local politics, adding complexity to governance practices and environmental outcomes.

Green water, wetlands, and atmospheric moisture recycling ‐ An emerging new paradigm for grassland science

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
The importance of green water in water resource management. Conceptual classification of terrestrial water components highlighting the central role of green water in land‐atmosphere interactions. This schematic distinguishes green water (soil moisture available for plant uptake and evapotranspiration) from blue water (surface water, groundwater, and ...

Nitrogen removal and the fate of Nitrate in Riparian buffer zones [PDF]

, 2001
Riparian buffer zones, adjacent to waterways, may protect water quality by intercepting and removing nitrogen in runoff from agricultural land. This research comprised four parts: (1) a field study of nitrogen buffering by differently vegetated riparian ...

A Functional Flows Framework for the Terminal Great Salt Lake Basin: Can We Have Our Lake and Drink It Too?

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terminal basins provide unique aquatic environments that are often highly sensitive to streamflow contributions, making them a focal point for environmental water management. However, the water needs for terminal lake, wetland, and river ecosystems, and how they relate, remain a fundamental knowledge gap that constrains our ability to ...

Too Hot, Too Cold, Just Right: Thermal Modulating Capacity of Different Sources of Groundwater Discharge to Salmon‐Bearing Streams

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.

Improved Cerrado Wetland Mapping Through Seasonal Moisture Metrics, Terrain Information and Semantic Segmentation

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 ...

Impacts of different vegetation in riparian buffer strips on runoff and sediment loss [PDF]

, 2022
Buffer strips continue to feature in the management of agricultural runoff and water pollution in many countries. Existing research has explored their efficacy for reducing environmental problems in different geoclimatic settings but, the evidence on the

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 ...
