The Role of Local and Upstream Colonisation in Determining Stream Periphyton Metacommunity Assemblages by Daniel Zamorano, Travis Ingram, Christoph D. Matthaei

“…We covered 25‐m sections of streambed with plastic silage cover sheets in three streams in Southern New Zealand, allowing river water to flow over the sheets. Samples on top of these sheets allowed periphyton colonisation only by drifting upstream propagules, while ‘control’ samples placed directly upstream of the plastic sheets were colonised by local and upstream propagules. …”

Erodibility and sedimentation potential of marly formations at the watershed scale by F. Rostami, S. Feiznia, M. Aleali, M. Heshmati, B. Yousefi yegane

“…This model is suitable for estimating erosion and sediment intensity within each geomorphologic unit comprising nine effective environmental factors as geological, pedological, climate, runoff, topography, land cover, land use, surface, and river erosion factors. The results indicated that Kashkan formation comprises siltstone, sandstone, shale, and conglomerate, and Grupi formation contains shale, clay, and limestone with a high erodibility potential. …”

The socio-ecological complexity of facing climate change: a case study from Pima County (Arizona, USA) by Le Tourneau, François-Michel, Fisher, Larry A., Zuniga-Teran, Adriana A., Wilder, Benjamin T., Boyer, Anne-Lise, Blanchon, David, Dubertret, Fabrice

“…In this paper, we show how we can apply the DRIIHM framework to Pima County and how this allows for innovative interdisciplinary approaches of issues related to environmental and human dynamics in southeastern Arizona, such as the dynamics of wildfires, which we show to be related to human as well as environmental factors, the restauration of the Santa Cruz river, which we analyze as ambiguous in terms of ecology, or the Cienega creek area, where the OHMi-PC has been involved in local landscape conservation efforts.…”

Dynamic Response of Bridge-Landslide Parallel System under Earthquake by Yu Liang, Honggang Wu, Tianwen Lai, Hao Lei, Mingzhe Zhu, Kun Ma, Zhiyang Ji, Jiankai Ren

“…Third, with the increase of excitation power, the dominant frequency of bridge-landslide parallel system gradually transitions from low to high frequency rate, and the interaction of the parallel system weakens the influence of river direction on frequency. Finally, under the same working condition, the dynamic response of the measuring points has obvious regularity with the change of situation. …”

Unlocking Vellore's water future: Integrated hydrogeochemical research aligns with SDGs 6, 12, and 13 by Sakshi Dange, Kumaraguru Arumugam, Sai Saraswathi Vijayaraghavalu

“…Similarly, the Pollution Index of Groundwater ranged from 0.4 to 4.5, with 60 % of samples indicating moderate to severe pollution, particularly in industrial and agricultural zones near the Palar River bed. The spatial analysis identified contamination hotspots, revealing that groundwater in urbanised areas and agricultural regions is unsuitable for both drinking and irrigation. …”

Numerical Simulation of Distribution Characteristics of Hydraulic Fish Habitat Index in 90° Spur Dike Areas by JIANG Li, DENG Xiaolong, ZHONG Liang, CHEN Jingyuan, ZHONG Xueyi, LIU Xiangqian, FU Qiang

“…The study of fish habitat in spur dike areas is of great significance to the ecological protection of rivers.In this paper,the distribution characteristics of the hydraulic fish habitat index in a spur dike area are discussed by a three-dimensional (3D) mathematical model for water flow.The results reveal that ① the flow velocity increases with the Froude number Fr;the width of the back flow area behind the dike decreases gradually,and the main flow area changes from rapidly varied flow to gradually varied flow and gradually returns to uniform flow.② The flow velocity gradient G in the main flow and back flow areas is small;the areas with G>2 are mainly concentrated on the left and right banks of the water channel and near the spur dike head,and on the cross-section,G declines as Fr grows.③ The distribution characteristics of the kinetic energy gradient M on the section of the spur dike from upstream to downstream are similar to those of G.The high-value areas of M appear on the right bank of the water channel and in the section with the relative channel width B⁺ of 0.25~0.40 near the spur dike head,but M is small on the left bank of the water channel and has little change along the way.④ With the increase in Fr,the velocity suitability S_u in the upstream of the spur dike decreases,while S_u at the spur dike and in the downstream cross-section of the spur dike increases.S_u of the back flow area in the downstream of the spur dike is small,generally not more than 0.3,while S_u in the main flow area may exceed 0.8,which indicates that the spawning habitat of fish in this area is better.The research results can provide a reference for the protection of fish resources in spur dike areas and the construction of ecological waterway projects.…”
