Evolution and drivers of secondary suspended rivers in typical wandering sections of the lower Yellow River from 1960–2021

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The secondary suspended river increases the probability of the occurrence of “Heng river”, “Xie river” and “Gun river” in the lower Yellow River, and is the main factor threatening the safety of human life and property in the Yellow River levee and beach

Vascular flora of the Upper Paraná River floodplain [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2009
The purpose of this study was to update the floristic inventory found in the Upper Paraná River floodplain. Floristic surveys were performed from February 2000 through March 2008, as part of the Brazilian Long-Term Ecological Research Program (PELD/CNPq -Site 6). The material collected was identified from 774 species, 442 genera, and 116 families.

Urbanization and food transition in the Brazilian Amazon: From wild to domesticated meat

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urbanization is expected to influence food transitions, resulting in a shift from wild foods to more domesticated foods. Concomitantly, food insecurity and urban demand for natural resources, including wildlife, are expected to increase overall, even when the per capita consumption is expected to decrease.

Hydrogeological Investigation and Parameter Analysis of Floodplain Area in the Reaches of the Yangtze River [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2019
The binary structure of the floodplain in the reaches of the Yangtze River is obvious and has unique hydrogeological features. In this paper, the hydrogeological survey of the floodplain area is carried out.

Using dendroclimatic analysis of exotic deciduous conifers in an arboretum to document tree growth in response to climate change, Northeast Ohio, USA

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

Long‐Term Morphodynamic Responses to Flood Diversion in the Lower Kano River, Japan

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fluvial morphodynamics—the interaction between water flow, sediment transport, and channel morphology—is a central concern in sustainable river management. However, the long‐term effects of flood diversion remain underexplored. This study investigated the decadal‐scale morphodynamic responses of the lower Kano River in Japan following the ...

Using the Relative Elevation Models to delimit the floodplain level development: The case of the braided-wandering Belá River, Slovakia

Moravian Geographical Reports
The Belá River is a specific submountain river running through the Liptov Basin in the Slovak Carpathians. Its transformation from a braided to a braided-wandering system and degradation including incision of the river system has been observed since the ...

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Behavioral cues enable native fishes to exit a California floodplain while leaving non‐native fishes behind

Ecosphere, 2022
Floodplains are highly productive environments that provide critical rearing habitat and increased growth for diverse native fishes, including juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha).

Potential Impacts of Low Flows on Fish Foodscapes and Production in a Braided River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in river discharge affect the physical composition and connectivity of habitats which, in turn, may shape the spatial distribution of fish food abundance, accessibility and quality—the ‘foodscape’—of river ecosystems. However, the influence of river flows on fish foodscapes has received very little attention from scientists. We studied
