Abstract Peatland ecosystems are globally important carbon stores. Disturbances, such as drainage and climate drying, act to lower peatland water table depths, consequently enhancing soil carbon release and subsidence rates. Here, we conduct a global meta-analysis to quantify the relationship among water table depth, carbon release and subsidence. We find that the water table decline stimulated heterotrophic, rather than autotrophic, soil respiration, which was associated with an increase in …

Short instrumental streamflow records in the South and East Tibetan Plateau (SETP) limit understanding of the full range and long-term variability in streamflow, which could greatly impact freshwater resources for about one billion people downstream. Here we reconstruct eight centuries (1200-2012 C.E.) of annual streamflow from the Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas in five headwater regions across the SETP. We find two regional patterns, including northern (Yellow, Yangtze, and Lancang-Mekong) and s…

Abstract The development of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods toward implementation as a cost‐effective, nonlethal tool for fish biomonitoring in lotic environments requires insights on the temporal and spatial distribution of eDNA in river systems. Yet, little is known on how downstream eDNA dispersal is affected by the combination of river discharge and source biomass effects. In this study, we aimed at unraveling the effect of source‐ and system‐specific processes on the stream reach of eDN…

Upper Blue Nile River Basin, Ethiopia This study aims to determine possible trends in monthly, seasonal and annual precipitation and streamflow series. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) was used to obtain detailed information about the time-frequency conditions of six meteorological and five streamflow stations during 1984–2014. The Mann-Kendall test was also applied to the original and the DWT components to determine which periodicities are dominant in reproducing the observed trends. The…

Matched topics: river
The upper Yellow River basin over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is an important ecological barrier in northwestern China. Effective LULC products that enable the monitoring of changes in regional ecosystem types are of great importance for their environmental protection and macro-control. Here, we combined an 18-class LULC classification scheme based on ecosystem types with Sentinel-2 imagery, the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, and the random forest method to present new LULC products with a …
Decadal migration phenology of a long-lived Arctic icon keeps pace with climate change
Authors: Courtney R. Shuert, Marianne Marcoux, Nigel E. Hussey, Mads Peter Heide‐Jørgensen, Runé Dietz, Marie Auger‐Méthé

Matched topics: climate change
Animals migrate in response to seasonal environments, to reproduce, to benefit from resource pulses, or to avoid fluctuating hazards. Although climate change is predicted to modify migration, only a few studies to date have demonstrated phenological shifts in marine mammals. In the Arctic, marine mammals are considered among the most sensitive to ongoing climate change due to their narrow habitat preferences and long life spans. Longevity may prove an obstacle for species to evolutionarily re…
Endocrine disrupting chemicals entering European rivers: Occurrence and adverse mixture effects in treated wastewater

) demonstrated good correlations of chemical target analysis and receptor-based testing results with deviations mostly within a factor of 10. Bioassay-specific effect-based trigger values (EBTs) from the literature, but also newly calculated EBTs based on previously proposed derivation options, were applied and allowed a preliminary assessment of the water quality of the tested WWTP effluent samples. Overall, this study demonstrates the high potential of linking chemical with effect-based ana…
