Soil salinity plays an essential role in the growth of mangroves. Mangroves usually grow in intertidal zones. However, in Karimunjawa National Park (KNP), Indonesia, mangroves are also found in supratidal zones. Thus, this study aims to determine why mangroves can grow in this supratidal zone, even during the dry season. We analyze seasonal changes in groundwater flow and salinity dynamics using t...... hiện toàn bộ
Holocene evolution of a floodplain wetland in the dryland piedmont of central-west ArgentinaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2022
Adriana E. Mehl, Marcelo A. Zárate, Florencia R. Lorenzo
In arid central-west Argentina, South America, many wetlands have developed in association with rivers draining the Andean piedmont and are vital hotspots for resources. However, knowledge about their long-term evolution is generally scarce. The Bañados del Atuel wetland, a low gradient fluvio-aeolian plain linked to the Atuel-Diamante fluvial system, is analyzed to depict its geomorphological and...... hiện toàn bộ
Management and use of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. in Thai wetlandsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 279-289 - 2008
Woranuch La-ongsri, Chusie Trisonthi, Henrik Balslev
Management and use of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.—the lotus plant—was studied in 58 wetlands distributed throughout Thailand. Although traditionally harvested in extractive systems depending on natural wetlands, N. nucifera is now increasingly being managed. Two hundred eighty informants mentioned 20 different uses, mainly for food, medicine, and religious rites, in both subsistence and cash economie...... hiện toàn bộ
Foraging, roosting, and nesting habitats of the avian fauna of the Agmon wetland, northern IsraelSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 169-187 - 1998
S. Ashkenazi, C. Dimentman
The foraging, nesting and roosting habitats of the avian fauna of a newly created Agmon wetland and surrounding cultivated peat land (5 km2) in the Hula Valley, northern Israel, were evaluated (January 1996–February 1997) to assess the value as a habitat and for wildlife tourism. We recorded 180 bird species (herons, dabbling ducks, kingfishers, waders, wagtails and raptors) in different habitats ...... hiện toàn bộ
Using airborne thermal imaging to understand American Coot movement patterns in a hot spring refugium during winterSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 31 - Trang 875-886 - 2023
Justin H. White, Collin S. Philipps, Landon B. Chandler
We examined the movement patterns of American Coots relative to water temperature and heat index where a geothermally heated stream enters Utah Lake, UT, USA during winter using a thermal imager onboard an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). Observations of Coots in different water temperatures (n = 2354) were compiled during 31 flights in January–March, 2020. Coots were actively swimming during 82.3% o...... hiện toàn bộ
Vegetation changes in the freshwater tidal marsh of the Delaware estuarySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 79-88 - 2000
R.T. Field, K.R. Philipp
We examined the areal extent and changes in thefreshwater tidal wetlands along a 56.4 km and a80.6 km reach of the Delaware River between Chester,Pa. and Trenton, N.J. Most of the remainingfreshwater tidal wetlands of the Delaware River arefound along tributaries which drain the coastal plainof New Jersey. We identified polygons of marsh, mud,and open water using color infrared aerial photographyo...... hiện toàn bộ
The assessment of mangrove biomass and carbon in West Africa: a spatially explicit analytical frameworkSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 153-171 - 2015
Wenwu Tang, Wenpeng Feng, Meijuan Jia, Jiyang Shi, Huifang Zuo, Carl C. Trettin
Mangrove forests are highly productive and have large carbon sinks while also providing numerous goods and ecosystem services. However, effective management and conservation of the mangrove forests are often dependent on spatially explicit assessments of the resource. Given the remote and highly dispersed nature of mangroves, estimation of biomass and carbon in mangroves through routine field-base...... hiện toàn bộ
The role of the landscape in structuring immature mosquito assemblages in wetlandsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 55-70 - 2013
María Victoria Cardo, Darío Vezzani, Aníbal Eduardo Carbajo
The distribution of mosquito populations is spatially heterogeneous and influenced by factors acting at a wide range of scales. The aim of this study was to assess the role of environmental heterogeneity at the landscape level in shaping the composition of immature mosquito communities inhabiting surface water habitats. The Paraná Lower Delta (Argentina) is a temperate wetland that extends along a...... hiện toàn bộ
