Building on previous environmental flow discussions and a growing recognition that hydrogeomorphic processes are inherent in the ecological functionality biodiversity of riverscapes, we propose functional-flows approach to managing heavily modified rivers. The focuses retaining specific process-based components hydrograph, or functional flows, rather than attempting mimic full natural regime. Key include wet-season initiation peak magnitude recession dry-season low interannual variability....
Abstract Modifications to landscapes and flow regimes of rivers have altered the function, biodiversity, productivity freshwater ecosystems globally. Reestablishing geomorphological hydrological conditions necessary sustain is a central challenge for restoration within highly systems. Meeting this requires simultaneously addressing multiple interacting stressors context irreversible changes socio‐economic constraints. Traditionally, river approaches either physically change landscape or...
Humans are changing the Earth's surface at an accelerating pace, with significant consequences for ecosystems and their biodiversity. Landscape transformation has far-reaching implications including reduced net primary production (NPP) available to support ecosystems, energy supplies consumers, disruption of ecosystem services such as carbon storage. Anthropogenic activities have global NPP terrestrial by nearly 25%, but loss from wetland is unknown. We used a simple approach estimate...
For centuries humans have reduced and transformed Mediterranean‐climate oak woodland savanna ecosystems, making it difficult to establish credible baselines for ecosystem structure composition that can guide ecological restoration efforts. We combined historical data sources, with particular attention mid‐1800s General Land Office witness tree records maps twentieth century air photos, reconstruct 150 years of decline in extent stand density Valley ( Quercus lobata Neé) woodlands savannas...
Abstract Floods, with their inherent spatiotemporal variability, drive floodplain physical and ecological processes. This research identifies a flood regime typology approach for characterization, using unsupervised cluster analysis of events defined by ecologically meaningful metrics, including magnitude, timing, duration, rate change as applied to the unregulated lowland alluvial Cosumnes River California, United States. Flood events, isolated from 107‐year daily flow record, account...
