Sediment fingerprinting (SF) methods using taxonomic-specific biomarkers such as n-alkanes have been successfully used to distinguish sediment sources originating from different land uses at a catchment scale. In this ...

Quantifying land use sources and understanding the dynamics of organic carbon (OC) in river catchments is essential to reduce both on-site and off-site impacts of soil OC erosion. The lake area of Loch Davan, located in ...

Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) is an important attribute for water resources management. However, the interactions between climate and catchment characteristics that control the temporal variability of SSC in rivers ...

Soil erosion threatens soil sustainability and the provision of ecosystem services and is predicted to increase in the future with climate change. Soil erodibility, the susceptibility of soil to erosion, is often estimated ...

Trees fall naturally into rivers generating flow heterogeneity, inducing geomorphological features, and creating habitats for biota. Wood is increasingly used in restoration projects and the potential of wood acting as ...

In mammals, parental exposure to amitriptyline (AMI) has been proven to contribute to congenital disabilities in their offspring. However, no studies have paid attention to the adverse effects of parental exposure to ...

An in-depth understanding of the complex patterns of ecosystem services (ESs) interactions (i.e., synergies or trade-offs) based on social-ecological conditions is an important prerequisite for achieving sustainable and ...

1.Large wood (LW) is a natural element of river environments and an integral component of many river restoration schemes to promote biodiversity. It is an important habitat in itself, but it also induces a wide range of ...

Background and Introduction to Deliverable 2.1. Work Package 2 of REFORM focuses on hydromorphological and ecological processes and interactions within river systems with a particular emphasis on naturally functioning ...

The hyporheic zone (HZ) is an area of interaction between surface and ground waters in riverbeds. It is characterized by a diverse fauna and by a bidirectional flow (hyporheic exchange flow - HEF). HZ plays a signifi ...
