Gainers and losers of surface and terrestrial water resources in China during 1989–2016
Nature Communications, 2020 Data and knowledge of the spatial-temporal dynamics of surface water area (SWA) and terrestrial water storage (TWS) in China are critical for sustainable management of water resources but remain very limited.

Population and species neighbor identity impact trait–trait relationships and plant performance
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We evaluated how populations and species identity influence plant performance and trait outcomes in mixtures, and assessed trait variation among populations of two forb species native to the western United States (Dieteria canescens and Heterotheca villosa) following three interaction treatments (single‐population monoculture, two‐population mixture ...

Journal of Earth Sciences and Geotechnical Engineering, 2020 Iraq relies in its water resources on the water of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers and their tributaries. The long-term average annual flow of the Euphrates River was 30 BCM while it is 21.2 BCM for the River Tigris. The tributaries of the Tigris River contribute about 24.78 BCM and in addition, there are side valleys from the eastern border that ...

REFORESTATION AND WATER RESOURCES. [PDF]
The Forestry Chronicle, 1936 In recent years a great deal of interest has been aroused in connection with the establishing of protection forests. By these are meant areas of woodland or bush which form the watersheds of streams and rivers used for recreational purposes and especially those on which water supplies for domestic use are dependent. In the advocacy of such areas it may

Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study examines the demographic dynamics of two seabird populations on Tromelin Island, 15 years after the eradication of brown rats. The results indicate that these populations are in good health and are expected to continue growing until breeding sites are saturated in about a century.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView., 2023 A novel method for tracking structural changes in gels using widely accessible microcomputed tomography is presented and validated for various hydro‐, alco‐, and aerogels. The core idea of the method is to track positions of micrometer‐sized tracer particles entrapped in the gel and relate them to the density of the gel network.

Water Supply, 2021 Water level is considered as the key factor affecting the structure and function of lake ecosystems. The Mann-Kendall technique and range of variability approach (RVA) were used to quantitatively evaluate the hydrologic alteration due to Three Gorges ...

Winter melt trends portend widespread declines in snow water resources
Nature Climate Change, 2020 In many mountainous regions, winter precipitation accumulates as snow that melts in the spring and summer, which provides water to one billion people globally. Climate warming and earlier snowmelt compromise this natural water storage.

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...
