The Influence of Low-Head Dams on the Biodiversity of Wintering Waterbirds in China’s Xin’an River Basin [PDF]

Biology
The rivers in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are important wintering and migration stopovers for waterbirds. The hydrological characteristics of rivers directly affect the habitats of overwintering waterbirds and thus lead to changes ...

Effects of Human Activities on the Diversity of Waterbirds Wintering in a Shallow Lake of the Middle and Lower Yangtze River Floodplain, China

Diversity, 2020
Human activity is the major factor driving the wetland degradation in shallow lakes. Human exploitation of lake wetlands alters the habitats of wintering waterbirds, and, in turn, waterbird diversity in the shallow lakes.
