Small, seasonal lakes that exist in floodplains are rarely investigated, and yet they play an
important role in the protection of biodiversity and are highly susceptible to modification due …

Inverse distance interpolation is a robust and widely used estimation technique. Variants of
kriging are often proposed as statistical techniques with superior mathematical properties …

Accumulations of heavy metals in urban soils are highly spatial heterogeneity and affected
by multiple factors including soil properties, land use and pattern, population and climatic …

Selection of appropriate interpolation methods for the conversion of discrete samples into
continuous maps is a controversial issue in the environmental researches. The main …

Hydrological processes of floodplains in large river-lake systems are subjected to strong
flood pulses from catchment flows and lake inundations. Hydrological connectivity (HC) is …

The smoothing effect of ordinary kriging is a well-known dangerous effect associated with
this estimation technique. Consequently kriging estimates do not reproduce both histogram …

Cost limitations often lead to the adoption of lower precision grids for soil sampling in large-
scale areas, potentially causing deviations in the observed trace metal (TM) concentrations …

During flood inundation, river water passes from the main channel into the floodplain
through floodplain channels and diffusive overbank flow. This flood water is then distributed …
