Predicting turbidity dynamics in small reservoirs in central Kenya using remote sensing and machine learning by Stefanie Steinbach, Anna Bartels, Andreas Rienow, Bartholomew Thiong’o Kuria, Sander Jaap Zwart, Andrew Nelson

“…We found distinct monthly turbidity patterns. Random forest and gradient boosting models showed that annual turbidity outcomes depend on meteorological variables, topography, and land cover (R2 = 0.46 and 0.43 respectively), while longer-term turbidity was influenced more strongly by land management and land cover (R2 = 0.88 and 0.72 respectively). …”

Invasive shrubs amplify seasonal granivory, revealing optimal windows for seed survival following invasive shrub removal by Mark E. Fuka, John L. Orrock

“…However, because seed survival may vary among seasons, it is essential to understand temporal patterns of seed survival. For example, dense habitats created by invasive shrubs exhibit seasonal changes in structure and food resources that could create seasonal variation in seed survival by altering the activity and abundance of native seed‐eating rodents. …”
