Human activities both aggravate and alleviate streamflow drought. Here we show that aggravation is dominant in contrasting cases around the world analysed with a consistent methodology. Our 28 included different combinations of human-water interactions. We found water abstraction aggravated all drought characteristics, increases 20%–305% total time across case studies, deficit up to almost 3000%. Water transfers reduced by 97%. In into catchment or augmenting from groundwater, inputs could...
Abstract. The 1951–2009 drought history of China is reconstructed using daily soil moisture values generated by the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) land surface macroscale hydrology model. VIC applied over a grid 10 458 points with spatial resolution 30 km × km, and driven observed maximum minimum air temperature precipitation from 624 long-term meteorological stations. used to calculate Soil Moisture Anomaly Percentage Index (SMAPI), which can be as measure severity agricultural on...
Coastal wetlands are a critical component of the coastal landscape that increasingly threatened by sea level rise and other human disturbance. Periodically mapping wetland distribution is crucial to ecosystem management. Ensemble algorithms (EL), such as random forest (RF) gradient boosting machine (GBM) algorithms, now commonly applied in field remote sensing. However, performance potential EL methods, extreme (XGBoost) bagged trees, rarely compared tested for mapping. In this study, we...

Recent dam construction on Y angtze R iver its tributaries agriculture hydroelectric power has affected hydrological regimes downstream lakes. The Three G orges D am changed regime lakes by reducing wet season flooding expanding water storage dry season. Despite critical role regional biodiversity potential adverse ecological...
Climate change and anthropogenic activities are accelerating environmental changes, challenging wild animals' survival. Behavioral plasticity, such as adjusting habitat selection foraging activity, is a key mechanism for responding to rapid changes in the Anthropocene era. However, this shift may expose animals new challenges. Moreover, not all behavioral plasticity adaptive, evidenced by ecological traps. This study focuses on Poyang Lake, Ramsar wetland critical wintering ground waterbirds...
Abstract Dryland wetlands are resilient ecosystems that can adapt to extreme periodic drought–flood episodes. Climate change projections show increased drought severity in drylands could compromise wetland resilience and reduce important habitat services. These recognized risks have been difficult evaluate due our limited capacity establish comprehensive relationships between flood–drought episodes vegetation responses at the relevant spatiotemporal scales. We address this issue by...
Abstract Aim Exotic species invasion often leads to declines in local and regional biodiversity, particularly freshwater ecosystems. This biodiversity loss is generally facilitated by human activities such as land cover change hydrological alternation. Recent advances stable isotope analysis (SIA) have been highlighted many studies addressing fundamental issues ecology, especially quantifying competition for resources between native exotic species. However, how anthropogenic disturbance...
Floodplain wetlands are among the most dynamic ecosystems on Earth, featuring high biodiversity and productivity. They also sensitive to anthropogenic disturbances globally threatened. Understanding how flow regime drives spatiotemporal dynamics of wetland habitats is fundamental effective conservation practices. In this study, using Landsat imagery random forest (RF) machine learning algorithm, we mapped winter distribution four (i.e., Carex meadow, reedbed, mudflat, shallow water) in East...
<sec><title>Objective</title> In the context of urban densification and continuous expansion, creation new green spaces faces enormous financial spatial challenges, placing considerable strain on biodiversity conservation efforts. The ongoing process urbanization brings forth a multitude wastelands, characterized by exuberance spontaneous plants due to poor management utilization. These offer range ecosystem services such as regulation, aesthetics, recreation for city. Taking Harbin,...
Abstract River Red Gum ( Eucalyptus camaldulensis ) is widely distributed throughout many water courses and floodplains within inland Australia. In recent years, accelerated decline of condition has been observed in locations, field observations the degradation are consistent with reduction flooding. However, there few publications that quantitatively investigate relationships between flooding history. We applied Classification Regression Tree (CART) to model minimum requirement...
Abstract Wet meadows are one of the most important ecological components in floodplain, and among dynamic ecosystems. Understanding development wet contributing environmental factors can provide better support for wetland management. Carex East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve (EDLNNR) vital wintering ground thousands migratory waterbirds, their functions under threated due to hydrological alternation. We measured meadow expansion EDLNNR from 1989 2014, explored its responses climatic...
Abstract Inundation is a primary driver of floodplain ecology. Understanding temporal and spatial variability inundation patterns critical for optimum resource management, particularly in striking an appropriate balance between environmental water application extractive use. Nevertheless, quantifying at the fine resolution required ecological modeling immense challenge these environments. In this study, Random Forest, machine learning technique, was implemented to predict pattern section...
