Fatty Acid Profiles Distinguish Channel Catfish From Three Reaches of the Lower Kaskaskia River and its Floodplain Lakes [PDF]
, 2016 Despite the increasing use of fatty acids (FAs) as biomarkers in aquatic food web analysis, little information is available regarding differences in FA profiles of fish among habitat types in river-floodplain ecosystems. The objectives of this study were

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Uncertainties about the applicability of δ13C and δ15N as tracers of sediment sources in tropical river basins highlight the need for more in‐depth investigations of these isotopes. This study therefore assessed the effectiveness of δ13C and δ15N signatures in discriminating sediment sources in an agricultural catchment in Northeast Brazil ...

AUC GEOGRAPHICA, 2016 This paper presents preliminary results of an assessment of the groundwater – surface water (GW-SW) interaction processes of the Lužnice River floodplain during a selected time period, comprising high and low stream flow. It analyses various events that reflect the spatial and temporal variations in water flows to and from the floodplain.

BioClimLand (Biota, Climate, Landscapes), 2014 Mires occupy 40% of the Ob river floodplain within the taiga zone. Their forming started about 8 or 9 thousand years ago. Floodplain mires are highly productive ecosystems. Total standing crop is 4.0 or 6.5 t*ha-1. Standing crop of living phytomass takes 50-60% of the total standing crop.

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.
