Erosion control properties of self-seeded forests that appeared in forestless areas of ravine-gully systems

open access: yesMetsanduslikud Uurimused, 2022
During land unsoldering in Ukraine, so-called “self-seeded forests” appeared on lands that had not been used for agriculture for a long time. The purpose of the research is to find out the erosion control properties of self-seeded forests.

Discovery and Fine‐Scale Mapping of Hadal Xenophyophore Habitat in the Nova Canton Trough, Central Pacific Ocean

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Discovery and fine‐scale mapping of a hadal xenophyophore field: submersible video transects and photogrammetry enable semi‐automated delineation of xenophyophores, revealing their abundance, spatial organisation, structural complexity and contribution to habitat heterogeneity at ~8000 m depth.

Application of Circular Economy Principles to Power Generation: Extending the Life of A Hydropower Plant by Pumped Hydro Energy Storage

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The application of circular economy, which aims to maximize efficiency and reduce waste, to renewable energy sources necessitates, given the intermittent nature of the latter, robust energy storage solutions to ensure grid stability and avoid wasting energy.

Effect of Shelterbelts Distribution on Ephemeral Gully Erosion in the Rolling-hilly Black Soil Region of Northeast China

open access: yesShuitu baochi yanjiu, 2012
The ephemeral gully erosion in cultivated slope lands in rolling-hilly black soil region of northeast China is very serious.As one of the most important parts of cultivated slope lands,the shelterbelt system would inevitably affect the process of ...

The Australian Hydromyine Rodents—Their Interspecific Diversity and Reproductive Biology: A Review

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
There are two major groups, the Rattus species and the Hydromyini, in Australia. Clearly, the hydromyine rodents, unlike the Rattus genus, exhibit a diverse array of reproductive biological traits in both males and females, the full evolutionary significance of which has yet to be ascertained.

Spectroscopic insights into the mechanisms driving spatial heterogeneity of dissolved organic matter in complex slope systems with patchy habitats in arid and semiarid regions

open access: yesGeoderma
Soil erosion profoundly influences dissolved organic matter (DOM) dynamics and regional carbon cycling in arid and semiarid regions. Complex slope systems, consisting of ridge slopes and gully slopes with abrupt topography and patchy habitats, may ...

Monitoring Geomorphic Change and Catchment Sediment Production to Understand the Erosive Dynamics in a Gullied Channel by Means of High-Resolution DEMs

open access: yesProceedings, 2020
Gully erosion in valley bottoms is a frequent process with negative consequences in the dehesa environment. Soil loss, decrease of soil and descend in biomass are among the negative aftereffect of gully erosion processes.

Life Under the Snow: Camera Trap Videos Capture Year‐Round Lemming Activity and Behavior

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We developed an automated camera system capable of recording year‐round videos of lemmings beneath the snow in the High Arctic. We demonstrate the potential of this system to document lemming activity and behaviors. Our results show that it effectively monitors lemming relative abundance with temporal precision unmatched by other methods.

Morphological Parameters of Gullies Formed on Sandy Soils and Effects of Check Dams in Central Spain

open access: yesGeosciences
Gully erosion constitutes a significant global problem, as gullies are a substantial source of sediment that harms rivers, affecting aquatic fauna and water quality, altering flow regimes, and degrading soil, among other impacts.
