Urban Fire Severity and Vegetation Dynamics in Southern California
Remote Sensing, 2020 A combination of satellite image indices and in-field observations was used to investigate the impact of fuel conditions, fire behavior, and vegetation regrowth patterns, altered by invasive riparian vegetation.

Riparian vegetation and island formation along the gravel-bed Fiume Tagliamento, Italy
, 2001 After more than 300 years of river management, scientific knowledge of European river systems has evolved with limited empirical knowledge of truly natural systems. In particular, little is known of the mechanisms supporting the evolution and maintenance

Identifying knowledge barriers to agroforestry adoption and co‐designing solutions to them
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Compared to monocultures, agroforestry can promote biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and climate resilience, whilst maintaining or enhancing production and profits. Despite this, uptake in temperate regions remains low. Knowledge gaps amongst land managers are a primary barrier to uptake, but little is known about which aspects of ...

River - Riparian Vegetation Interactions
, 2012 The river and the riparian ecosystem are two dynamical systems which exhibit complex spatio-temporal interactions. Because of the possible implications for engineering works and environmental management, in recent times a number of studies has focused on this topic, considering both large- and small-scale problems.

Bioavailability of uranium and nickel to vegetation in a contaminated riparian ecosystem
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2003 Abstract The lower portion of Tims Branch (TB), a second-order stream system on the Savannah River site (SC, USA), receives influx of mixed waste-contaminated sediments from Steed Pond, a former settling basin for target processing wastes for over three decades.

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 ...

Buildings as accidental habitat: Where animals nest, sleep and forage
People and Nature, EarlyView.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?

Applied SciencesSeasonal hydrological fluctuations strongly influence riparian habitats in the middle Yangtze River, yet the relationships of inundation duration with soil properties and riparian vegetation remain insufficiently understood in representative riparian ...
