Abstract. Hydrological connectivity is essential for the maintenance of important hydrological and ecological processes catchments. Over time, human activities have altered natural patterns connectivity, leading to habitat loss deterioration. Historical information from cartographic maps can be used enhance our understanding large-scale such as by offering snapshots past, less human-impacted landscapes systems. The focus this study on historical surface its landscape drivers (e.g.,...
Abstract The legacy of historic anthropogenic disturbance can significantly affect the structure and function contemporary freshwater ecosystems. Environmental research management that neglect are likely to lead a biased interpretation present future ecosystem dynamics. Yet, remains poorly considered, mainly because challenges associated with its identification. Synthesizing past progress in research, we conceptual framework for systematic identification legacy. We focus on dynamic processes...
This article focuses on defining hydromorphological features to be extracted from historical maps by means of digital map processing techniques. The features, evolving through time, can described quantitatively the development and application various ecological metrics study spatiotemporal change natural built freshwater environment. With goal support future revitalization efforts, this first reviews theory quantifying using landscape metrics, ranging simple shape (e.g., shoreline length)...
Abstract Digital map processing techniques have enabled new computational methods to extract geographic features from scanned sources. These are mainly historical maps and rich in spatiotemporal information which can be derived by descriptive metrics. River channel width is such a typical ecological metric used calculate properties as water discharge rates and, generally, often applied hydrological monitoring. Measures of river previous work successfully measured based on situ measurements...
