Effect of riparian vegetation on the spatial distribution of slimy sculpin cottus cognatus in southwestern Wisconsin streams [PDF]

, 2012
The distribution of freshwater sculpin (Coitus spp.), are frequently associated with the quantity and quality ofmacroinvertebrate prey, which are often influenced by the presence of riparian vegetation.

Impact of the Addition of a Shading Algorithm in a Physically Based Conceptual River Hydrological–Temperature Model

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic impacts on the thermal regime of rivers include climate change and deforestation. For the latter, developing modelling tools that can account for the impact of varying vegetation cover on river temperatures is essential. This study describes a new addition to the CEQUEAU hydrological and water temperature model: a shading ...

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 ...

The relative influence of riparian vegetation structure and composition on instream health: a multivariate assessment

Human activities have pervaded aquatic ecosystems worldwide. As a result, riparian zones (the areas adjacent to rivers and streams) display high proportions of non-native vegetation, which is often considered symbolic of degradation and poor river health.

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 ...
