Socio-hydrology: A key approach for adaptation to water scarcity and achieving human well-being in large riverine islands

Progress in Disaster Science, 2020
Rapid global changes (population growth, urbanization and frequent extreme weather conditions) have cumulatively affected local water bodies and resulted in unfavorable hydrological, ecological, and environmental changes in the major river systems ...

‘PULSE FICTION’: Development of Slightly Processed Pulse‐Based Foods and Recipes to Meet the Needs of Consumers and the Agricultural Sector and Improve Food Sustainability

Nutrition Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pulses offer significant nutritional and environmental benefits and are useful components of healthier, more sustainable diets and global food security. However, their consumption in France remains low and below the world average. Farmers face economic and technical challenges in diversifying crops, and current domestic production is ...

Restoration of forestry‐drained oligotrophic peatlands can bring climate change mitigation within a few decades

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Climate mitigation by peatland restoration is suggested, but data from restored forestry‐drained peatlands (FDP) is sparse. Studies using surrogate emission factors from pristine peatlands have indicated a long‐lasting warming effect of restoration of nutrient‐poor FDPs, while restoration‐specific studies are missing.

Socio-hydrology pathway of grain virtual water flow in China

Agricultural Water Management
As the world's largest grain producer, China's activities in virtual water trade for grain are particularly noteworthy. The imbalance of grain production and consumption among regions poses challenges to agricultural development and the sustainable use ...

Cross-scale interactions of socio-hydrological subsystems: examining the frontier of common pool resource governance in Arizona

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
A critical frontier of water management in the western US is the challenge of cross-scale interactions. It is difficult to establish clear governance boundaries and collectively act when basins are interconnected, surface water and groundwater flows are ...

Trait‐based restoration in African dryland restoration projects: overcoming systemic and scientific barriers for a viable future

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction African dryland restoration continues to show low success rates despite major pledges, due to persistent water scarcity, ecological complexity, and limited use of trait‐based restoration (TBR). Functional trait‐based approaches, which match species selection to adaptive traits, could strengthen ecosystem recovery under arid ...

Global Change Can Make Coastal Eutrophication Control in China More Difficult

Earth's Future, 2020
Fast socio‐economic development in agriculture and urbanization resulted in increasing nutrient export by rivers, causing coastal eutrophication in China. In addition, climate change may affect hydrology, and as a result, nutrient flows from land to sea.
