Sap flow of two typical woody halophyte species responding to the meteorological and irrigation water conditions in Taklimakan Desert Ecohydrol. Hydrobiol. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2023-10-14 Jiao Liu, Ying Zhao, Yongdong Wang, Jianguo Zhang, Jie Xue, Shunke Wang, Jingjing Chang
Understanding plant water consumption is crucial for artificial afforestation under drought environments and water stress in desert regions. However, the water consumption characteristics of desert species responding to the irrigation regimes are often neglected. By conducting a field test in the Taklimakan Desert Highway shelterbelt, this study examines the sap flow traits of two typical woody halophyte

Bathymetric modelling for long-term monitoring of water dynamics of Ramsar-listed lakes using inundation frequency and photon-counting LiDAR data Ecohydrol. Hydrobiol. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2023-10-13 Zhenyu Zhang, Xiaoye Liu
Accurate information on lake bathymetry and water dynamics is crucial for comprehending the intricate ecological processes in wetland ecosystems, which in turn can inform effective conservation and management strategies. However, obtaining such information can be challenging, particularly in remote areas with limited data. This study presents a way to leverage inundation frequency and ICESat-2 photon-counting

Habitat suitability of Unionidae host fish in the Rhine Delta Ecohydrol. Hydrobiol. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2023-10-07 Mathijs (J.B.) Laugeman, Natasha (Y.) Flores, Frank (P.L.) Collas
Unionid populations are declining worldwide as they are threatened by anthropogenic habitat alterations, the introduction of invasive alien species and the effects of climate change. Several studies have focused on the habitat preferences of adult mussels but none to date have reported on the importance of the habitat preferences of host fish species. The aim of this study was to determine the habitat

Fish entrainment model for decision support in ecosystem management: A case study from China's Maling Reservoir Ecohydrol. Hydrobiol. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2023-10-05 Qianqian Wang, Yu Han, Meixia Bao, Pengcheng Li, Yike Li, Wenming Zhang, Weiwei Yao
Fish entrainment from reservoirs to downstream rivers by various water release structures may result in serious consequences for reservoir ecosystems. This study proposed an integrated modeling approach for determining fish entrainment risk zones and suitable reservoir regulations. The modeling approach combines hydrodynamic and fish risk assessment modeling with using fuzzy rules set defined by expert

Multi-objective optimization of sponge facility layout in built-up urban areas Ecohydrol. Hydrobiol. (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2023-09-29 Jiayu Gao, Jiake Li, Jiawei Ji, Kehan Liu, Chunbo Jiang
In order to effectively cope with the destruction of natural hydrological cycle mechanism, frequent urban flood, serious water pollution and other problems, which are caused by the rapid urbanization process, the ‘sponge city’ concept has been widely used in China. This paper mainly focuses on how to rationally arrange the sponge grey and green facilities in built-up urban areas. With background analysis
