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
Plant community composition as a driver of decomposition dynamics in riparian wetlandsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 335-346 - 2015
A. Britson, D. Wardrop, P. Drohan
Riparian wetlands are well known for providing the important ecosystem service of carbon storage. However, changes in land-use regimes surrounding riparian wetlands have been shown to result in alterations to the wetland plant community. These plant community changes have the potential to alter litter quality, decomposition rates, and ultimately the capacity of riparian wetlands to store carbon. T...... hiện toàn bộ
Growth and nutrient dynamics of soft-stem bulrush in constructed wetlands treating nutrient-rich wastewatersSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 49-73 - 2001
C.C. Tanner
The growth characteristics and nutritional status ofSchoenoplectus tabernaemontani (C.C. Gmelin)Palla (soft-stem bulrush or lake clubrush) wereinvestigated during the second and third growthseasons in four equivalent subsurface-flow, gravel-bedconstructed treatment wetlands. Each wetland wassupplied with a different hydraulic loading rate ofagricultural wastewater, covering the range commonlyappli...... hiện toàn bộ
Chemical sedimentation as a driver of habitat diversity in dryland wetlandsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 30 - Trang 675-694 - 2021
Marc Humphries, Terence McCarthy
Freshwater wetlands located in dryland environments are characterised by high evapotranspiration rates and frequent periods of desiccation, which strongly influence the water chemistry and solute budgets of these systems. The transpiration of groundwater, especially by trees, is an important mechanism through which dryland wetlands can lose water. This process can lead to groundwater salinization ...... hiện toàn bộ
Vereda and Murundu wetlands and changes in Brazilian environmental laws: challenges to conservationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 23 - Trang 285-292 - 2014
Vania Rosolen, Diego Alves de Oliveira, Guilherme Taitson Bueno
Vereda and Murundu wetlands are widespread in the Cerrado (Brazilian savannah). The wetlands occupy topographic depressions on the flat plateau, which are permanently or seasonally waterlogged, with topsoil that has high contents of organic matter and endemic fauna and flora. These systems are important for regulating the water flux in the riverine network. Despite their environmental importance, ...... hiện toàn bộ
Conservation strategies for coastal wetlands in the Gulf of California, MexicoSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 267-288 - 2013
Hem Nalini Morzaria-Luna, Alejandro Castillo-López, Gustavo D. Danemann, Peggy Turk-Boyer
Wetlands worldwide, the fisheries they support, and the communities that depend on them are threatened by habitat modification. We describe strategies being used for wetland conservation in the Gulf of California, Mexico, their effectiveness, and challenges for implementation. We base our analysis on the authors’ experience working for local environmental non-governmental organizations and availab...... hiện toàn bộ
Sediments in Marsh Ponds of the Gulf Coast Chenier Plain: Effects of Structural Marsh Management and SalinitySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 395-404 - 2005
François Bolduc, Alan D. Afton
Physical characteristics of sediments in coastal marsh ponds (flooded zones of marsh associated with little vegetation) have important ecological consequences because they determine compositions of benthic invertebrate communities, which in turn influence compositions of waterbird communities. Sediments in marsh ponds of the Gulf Coast Chenier Plain potentially are affected by (1) structural marsh...... hiện toàn bộ
