Late Holocene environmental history of Dojran, Macedonia: Investigating the interplay of imperial dynamics and climatic change

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a high‐resolution, multi‐proxy reconstruction of environmental and land‐use change from Lake Dojran over historical times (last 2500 years), combining pollen, biomarkers, radiocarbon dating, Ottoman taxation records and other historical data.

Insect communities of late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...

IMPACT OF FARMING ON RIPARIAN VEGETATION ALONG ONA AND OROGUN RIVER, IBADAN, OYO STATE, NIGERIA

Geografia (Londrina), 2015
Agriculture has been known to dominate the riparian zone because of its high fertility which supports and allows the high yield of crops. In this study, an attempt was made to establish the impact of farming on species structure, species floristic ...

Riparian vegetation condition influences movement and microhabitat use by Mixophyes fasciolatus in South East Queensland [PDF]

, 2016
Riparian vegetation has been impacted by urbanisation in many parts of Australia, resulting in population declines of numerous species of stream-associated frogs.

Dental enamel hypoplasia and intra‐tooth isotope records as indicators of physiological stress and environmental variability in Early Pleistocene hippopotamids from Melka Kunture (Upper Awash, Ethiopia)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enamel hypoplasia results from temporary disruptions of enamel deposition during tooth development. It is widely used as an indicator of physiological stress in archeological and paleontological contexts; yet, its relationship with environmental conditions during tooth formation remains poorly constrained.

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.

Restoration measures of the riparian vegetation of the Black Volta Basin in Ghana: Experiences from the Lawra Municipality

Environmental Advances
The study is focused on measures put in place to restore the degraded riparian vegetation of the Black Volta Basin in the Lawra Municipality. The study is necessitated by the fact that much attention has not been given to rehabilitation of degraded ...

Freshwater lake inundation monitoring using Sentinel-1 SAR imagery in Eastern Uganda

Annals of GIS, 2020
In flood hazard assessment, little attention has been given to the seasonal observation of freshwater inundation using Sentinel-1 Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) images in the tropics. To assess these spatial variations, this study examined the inundation

Factors affecting the distribution of three non-indigenous riparian weeds in north-east England [PDF]

, 1999
The work presented uses a multi-disciphnary approach to examine the factors important in determining the distribution of the non-indigenous species, Impatiens glandulifera, Heracleum mantegazzianum and Fallopia japonica at a river catchment level ...
