Human activities have extensively altered landscapes throughout the world and further
changes are expected in the future. Anthropogenic impacts such as land use change …

Drylands cover about 40% of the terrestrial land surface and account for approximately 40%
of global net primary productivity. Water is fundamental to the biophysical processes that …

Habitat connectivity is a landscape attribute critical to the long‐term viability of many wildlife
species, including migratory birds. Climate change has the potential to affect habitat …

This book summarizes the current status of scientific and management knowledge regarding
global rangelands and the major challenges that confront them. It originated from …

Many deltas, including the Mississippi River Delta, have been losing land at fast rates
compromising the safety and sustainability of their ecosystems. Knowledge of delta …

Water is the essential reactant, catalyst, or medium for many biogeochemical reactions, thus
playing an important role in the activation and deactivation of biogeochemical processes …

Previous evapotranspiration (ET) partitioning studies have usually neglected competitions
and interactions between antagonistic plant functional types. This study investigated …

River deltas are lowland systems that can display high hydrological connectivity. This
connectivity can be structural (morphological connections), functional (control of fluxes), and …

Hydrological service by soil under mountain ecosystems is a hot topic in current ecological
research. We monitored the precipitation and soil moisture dynamics and measured the soil …
