The geomorphological map of the alluvial fans in the Colalao del Valle-Quilmes area represents the first detailed map of the Santa María Valley, Northwest Argentina. The map was made using photointerpretation of aerial ...

Current hypotheses of early tetrapod evolution posit close ecological andbiogeographic ties to the extensive coal-producing wetlands of the Carboniferouspalaeoequator with rapid replacement of archaic tetrapod groups by ...

This study assessed the local and landscape factors that support breeding habitats for native frog species in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. We surveyed 25 wetlands categorized into two management states and var...

Agricultural drainage carrying significant amounts of nitrogen (N) from agricultural applications poses a significant threat to plant growth, composition, and structure in wetland ecosystems. However, how interspecific c...

Species limits in the Poospiza nigrorufa/whitii complex are not well understood. Three taxa formally described as species are now considered as subspecies (nigrorufa, whitii and wagneri) of a widespread species. The heav...

Tidal flats generally exhibit ponds of diverse size, shape, orientation and origin. Studying the genesis, evolution, stability and erosive mechanisms of these geographic features is critical to understand the dynamics of...

Abstract Wetlands are invaluable places with a distinct ecosystem that shares the features of both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Macroinvertebrates are vital components of wetland ecosystems. Therefore, this study ...

In studies of herbarium specimens and living material, we observed that several species in the genus Azolla Lam. are present in different wetlands of Costa Rica, which instigated the search for applicable names of each t...

GLOBALMENTE, a biota terrestre é um sumidouro significativo de dióxido de carbono (CO2) atmosférico. Estudos recentes do IPCC para a década de 1990 estimam a biota terrestre com sendo um sumidouro líquido de aproxim...

Here we present the first use of calcareous microfossils to examine the late Quaternary paleoecology of the endorheic Pozuelos Basin (Argentina). Modern deposition in the basin centers on Laguna de los Pozuelos (LP),a s...

The objective of the present paper is to recognize and reconstruct, from the analysis of pollen recovered from sedimentary cores, the predominant plant communities and their variations during the Holocene in Corrientes A...

A partir de la información arqueológica con la que se cuenta hasta el momento respecto de la tecnología ósea en Argentina, se realizó un mapa de la presencia del grupo morfológico definido en trabajos previos como ...

Climate change and biodiversity loss have heightened global awareness on environmental design, unfolding paradigms of ecological design. Concepts such as nature-based solutions, urban nature, biophilic design and sponge ...

Artículo publicado Remote sensing tools allow the environmentalevaluation of coastal wetlands at a landscape scale; but adeeper understanding is needed of the interactions betweenbiophysical parameters and the electroma...

Los anfibios son representantes típicos y conspicuos de los ecosistemas de humedales neotropicales, tales como los Esteros del Iberá, su preservación está en íntima relación con la conservación de la biodiversidad...

Humans utilise about 40% of the earth’s net primary production (NPP) but the products of this NPP are often managed by different sectors, with timber and forest products managed by the forestry sector and food and fibr...

Coastal urban ecosystems are becoming increasingly vulnerable to climate-induced disturbance and damage due to the escalating frequency and intensity of typhoons. This study employed an integrated approach of remote sens...

Climate stress is intensifying in many dryland regions, altering the balance between ecosystem services (ESs) and ecohydrological functioning. Here, we present an integrated framework to assess these changes, combining 4...

The capybara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, is an herbivorous rodent widely distributed throughout most of South American wetlands that lives closely associated with aquatic environments. In this work, we studied the geneti...

Abstract Remote sensing is increasingly employed today for the creation of wall-to-wall vegetation maps of protected areas. The main objective of this study was to evaluate whether it is feasible to develop a remote sens...

IntroductionUrban wetlands are considered an important nature-based solution to mitigate flood impacts in built-up areas like Colombo, Sri Lanka, due to rapid urbanization and intensifying rainfall events. Wetlands withi...

Nature-based solutions (NbS) for urban stormwater management, including bioretention systems, constructed wetlands, green roofs, and permeable pavements, are increasingly promoted as climate adaptation tools that enhance...

At the regional and global scales, coastal management and planning for future sea level rise scenarios is typically supported by modelling tools that predict the expected inundation extent. These tools rely on a number o...

Constructed wetlands are systems based on nature, in which macrophytes are themain biological community. According to the diversity of wastewaters that thesesystems can treat, its use has expanded all over the world. Tre...
