Associating anthropogenic effects with variations in biodiversity is key to understanding how anthropogenic impacts are extrapolated in public supply micro-watersheds. The structure and dynamics of metacommunities in aquatic environments depend not o...
The growth of the world’s population is associated with an increase in demand for water. The consequences of this increase are twofold: On the one hand, it endangers the water balance of the ecosystem, and on the other hand, it considerably inc...
Reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is an important component of the global water cycle, and its long-term change directly influences the regional water supply and demand balance. Under the background of global change, investigating spatiotemporal tre...
Patterns of stable isotopes of water (18O and 2H) in precipitation have been used as tracers for analyzing environmental processes which can be changed by factors such as the topography or meteorological variables. In this study, we investigated the...
