Riparian vegetation layers differ three years after mixed severity wildfire in Oregon

Scientific Reports
Riparian ecosystems are highly diverse and dynamic, but effects of fire on riparian vegetation are poorly understood. In 2020, widespread wildfires impacted forests across the western Oregon Cascades, including riparian areas.

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 ...

GIS Applications in the Evaluation of Nonpoint Source Pollution Inputs to Inland Lakes [PDF]

, 2000
The water quality of a lake is a reflection of the condition and types of human activities in the surrounding watershed. Residential development and agricultural practices increase both surface runoff and nutrient sources which influence lake ...

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 ...

A Mixed‐Methods Study of a Short‐Term Professional Development as an Entry Point to School‐Based Participatory Science

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT School‐based participatory science (SBPS) connects school science with authentic research practices; however, adoption in formal schooling depends on how teachers interpret SBPS and appraise its feasibility under institutional constraints.

Unlocking cooling potential through optimized green space configuration in Riparian buffer zones

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Unlocking the cooling effect of urban green spaces is an effective strategy to mitigate urban heat islands and extreme heat exposure. However, the cooling potential of optimized green configurations in riparian buffer zones remains largely unknown.

The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

How Do Governance Arrangements Shape Community Empowerment in Rural Ecotourism? Evidence From Wuyuan, China

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how governance arrangements shape community empowerment in rural ecotourism in China. Drawing on the six dimensions of the community empowerment framework (CEF), the study analyses qualitative data from semi‐structured interviews with 30 villagers across four ecotourism‐oriented cases in Wuyuan.
