Abstract Interannual variability in the runoff ratio—how much annual precipitation becomes streamflow—underpins water management, flood forecasting, and biogeochemical fluxes. In most hydrologic frameworks, this vari...

Climate conditions have a strong influence on the distribution of many natural communities; thus, the influence of global climate change may alter ecosystems. High-altitude wetlands in the Central Andes of Argentina (CAA...

On the coast of the outer Río de la Plata estuary (Argentina) there is a vast coastal wetland occurring in a marsh environment. The hydrodynamics of this wetland is subject to a semidiurnal microtidal regime which cause...

Accurate monitoring of non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV) in coastal saltmarsh wetlands is crucial for understanding ecosystem functioning and carbon dynamics. Existing hyperspectral NPV indices are used to monitor NPV ...

Abstract We present a first global high-resolution map (30 m x 30 m) of high-altitudinal wetlands in the world’s major mountain regions, i.e. the Andes, Rocky Mountains, Alps and High Mountain Asia. To map these we...

Abstract This study evaluated spatiotemporal variations in drinking water quality, pollution levels, and heavy metal contamination in key rural water sources including, 23 dams, eight minor lakes, and three swamps. A tot...

Runoff, groundwater recharge and discharge, and surface water-groundwater interaction are the main driving forces of wetlands. The quantification of such flows is crucial information in the restoration and management of ...

River confluences are notable features in the drainage system with complex hydrodynamics, bed morphology, sediment transport, and mixing processes. Junction planform plays a pivotal role in the confluence hydrodynamics. ...

With the launch of the Sentinel-1 mission, for the first time, multitemporal and dual-polarization C-band SAR data with a short revisit time is freely available. How can we use this data to generate accurate vegetation c...

En el marco de la investigación de humedales de alta montaña que realizamos desde 1998, hemos estudiado ya 24 cuerpos de agua de esta provincia. Con el objetivo de ampliar los conocimientos de la flora diatomológica e...

Despite recent advances in wetland studies, ancient wetland deposits are still not well documented, and their facies characteristics are poorly registered. Sedimentary facies and sequence stratigraphic analysis of the Mi...

The Paraná River floodplain comprises one of the largest wetland systems of South America. In a sector of the Lower Paraná River floodplain (100km length, 3650km2), floristic composition and species diversity was chara...

Disappearance of floating macrophytes was observed in two successively constructed wetlands for the treatment of wastewater that contained Zn, Ni and Cr at a tool factory in Argentina. Experimental work was developed to ...

Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) have been used in Argentina since pre-Columbian times as a source of hide, meat, and fat. Hide is the most valuable capybara by-product and, at present, represents the major hunting ...

IntroductionCoastal wetlands provide critical ecosystem services but face increasing threats from human activities. Although ecological compensation mechanisms are globally recognized, research on tourist willingness-to-...

Given the limitations of different types of remote sensing images, automated land-cover classifications of the Amazon várzea may yield poor accuracy indexes. One way to improve accuracy is through the combination of ima...

ABSTRACTThe Amazon várzeas are an important component of the Amazon biome, but anthropic and climatic impacts have been leading to forest loss and interruption of essential ecosystem functions and services. The objectiv...

We provide a checklist of angiosperms collected in the Paraná River Delta Region during the 1990s and early 2000s. Plants were taxonomically identified and classified according to their origin (native/endemic and exotic...

Habitat loss is one of the main factors reducing wildlife diversity and restricting its conservation. Habitat suitability models are important tools for wildlife management and conservation in order to evaluate the impac...

Accurate and consistent monitoring of tidal flats is fundamental for understanding coastal dynamics and supporting sustainable coastal management. However, existing methods still face major limitations, such as incomplet...

Abstract Bryophytes disperse efficiently via wind-borne spores, yet long-distance transport alone does not guarantee successful establishment at the deposition site. Species-rich hotspots are expected to arise where a su...

Village ponds serve as important micro-wetland habitats that support diverse avifauna yet are subject to anthropogenic pressures. The present study assessed the avifaunal diversity and seasonal variations in Ladhwaya Pon...

Reconciling urban expansion with ecological integrity is a key objective of the Kunming-Montréal Global Biodiversity Framework, particularly in fluvial and coastal cities. Their extensive river networks and urban wetlan...

The article investigates the notion of refugium as both shelter and enclave, situating it in relation to wetlands (swamps, marshes, and peat bogs) and their significance in the literature and cultural imagination of Cent...
