FOREST restorationLAKE restorationWATERSHEDSWATER qualityFOREST thinningLand managers in the Lake Tahoe basin are considering increasing the use of prescribed fire and forest thinning to restore conditions that will be more resilient to wildfires. However, such restorative treatments a...
This article took huai'an Baima lake forest park as the research object, with the analysis of the pollution status and reasons, which was combined with the positioning of forest park. The project has proposed the waterscape special design with the strategy of "protection + restoration ". Combine...
Filter strips can be placed in flood-prone areas to prevent crop losses due to flood damage. When harvested for biomass, perennial filter strips may, in future, provide income to farmers [9]. As an example, Li [23] found that excessive rainfall and flood damage in the US has reduced cor...
again, in the case of tropical South America, large areas of the Andes are downwind of the Amazon forest, whereas most of the Amazon Basin is downstream of the Andes. Understanding this co-dependence could improve the hydro-cooperation between nations owing to the transnational...
Urban areas are the largest source of pollutants that directly or indirectly will end up in the air, soil, and water. It is paramount to find solutions to reduce the impact of pollution on climate change, ecosystem services, biodiversity loss, and human
We tested for spatial generality of and thresholds in this effect across 103 salt marsh sites spanning ~430 kilometers of shoreline in coastal Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi, using data collected as part of the natural resource damage assessment (NRDA). Our analyses revealed a threshold for...
Preliminary studies performed on mining sites have demonstrated that sustained and intense mining activities can damage ecosystems from multiple perspectives, such as by reducing the vegetation cover (Liu et al., 2019), increasing water and air pollution (Izydorczyk et al., 2021; Jiang et al.,...
Accurate estimation of groundwater evapotranspiration is essential for understanding hydrological cycle processes and sustainable groundwater resource use and management [13,14,15], and it is useful for natural ecosystem conservation and restoration [16]. The quantification of groundwater evapotranspiration ...
However, grass type vegetation response is higher (R2 = 0.59) to groundwater (GW) compared to forest vegetation (R2 = 0.24) and shrub vegetation (R2 = 0.25). Figure 6. The forest, shrub, and grass type vegetation NDVI datasets are plotted against model-simulated surface runoff and ground...
The water yield or hydrological system of the watershed continuously dynamic changes, since human activities and climate change alter the balance state of this system, potentially leading it to disruption, restoration, or transformation into a new state. Therefore, the stability of the water yield ...
