River Regulation Causes Rapid Changes in Relationships Between Floodplain Oak Growth and Environmental Variables

Management Strategies for Large River Floodplain Lakes Undergoing Rapid Environmental Changes

Relationships between environmental variables and free-living nematode communities in seasonally flooded wetlands

The Lo Go-Xa Mat is a national park in the southeastern region of Vietnam, which has a particularly high biodiversity and it includes different wetlands which are unique diverse in species composition. It can be categorized into two types: temporarily-seasonally and permanently flooded wetlands. Ta Not grassy marsh is representative of the seasonally flooded wetland. Whilst the diversity and ec...

Relationships between Hydrology, Spatial Heterogeneity, and Fish Recruitment Dynamics in a Temperate Floodplain River

Fish populations in the Brazos River, Texas, were surveyed monthly for 2 years to determine the relative influence of hydrology and habitat characteristics on the recruitment dynamics of seven species representing three divergent life history strategies. Surveys were conducted in two oxbow lakes with different flood recurrence intervals and the main river channel. The first year was relatively ...

Vegetation-Environmental Relationships and Ecological Species Groups of the Ilam Oak Forest Landscape, Iran

The study was carried out in the Ilam Oak forest that is located in the west part of Iran. The objective of this research was to determine the plant ecological groups and site classification in this region. Data were collected from 117 sample plots using the systematic-random sampling method. The size of sampling plots was 20 m?20 m for the tree and shrub species and 1.5 m ?1.5 m for herbaceous...

Environmental changes and human work in the region of the Upper Paraná River floodplain: processes and interactions.

The environment and society constitute a complex of elements and interactions. Thus, an understanding of the processes in which the environment and psychosocial elements are involved may not be gained from knowledge of just one isolated variable. Based on such premises, the present paper, which summarizes the results of a series of studies, adopts work relationships as its main focus, but in ad...
