Wetland habitats supporting waterbird diversity: Conservation perspective on biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationship

Journal of Environmental Management
Wetlands, as core habitats for supporting waterbird diversity, provide a variety of ecosystem services through diverse ecosystem functioning. Wetland degradation and wetland-habitat loss undermine the relationship between biodiversity-ecosystem ...

Impact of Short‐Term Hydrological Components on Landscape Pattern of Waterbird Habitat in Floodplain Wetlands

Water Resources Research, 2022
Periodic flooding in floodplain wetlands dominates the landscape pattern, creating rich and diverse habitats for waterbirds. However, most studies on floodplain wetland landscape are conducted at interannual scale, while few researches investigate the ...

Waterbird habitat loss: fringes of the Yellow and Bohai Seas along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway

Land Degradation and Development, 2021
Natural wetlands along the coasts of the Yellow and Bohai Seas provide key stopover sites for migratory waterbirds. However, these wetlands are facing land loss.

Unraveling the impact of drought on waterbird community assembly and conservation strategies.

Journal of Environmental Management
Drought-induced changes in lakes and wetlands, crucial habitats for migratory waterbirds, can greatly affect their foraging and habitat utilization. These changes lead to a decline in waterbird species richness and may cause shifts in community assembly ...

Waterbirds

2010
Within floodplain wetlands, flooding is recognised as the 'principal driving force responsible for the existence, productivity and interactions of the major biota' (Junk et al. 1989, p. 110). In addition, it has been proposed that biota in variable habitats develop strategies to adapt to variable flow (Walker et al. 1995). This chapter explores some of
