This study aimed to assess the impact and vulnerability of climate change by classifying 26 clusters of meteorologically homogeneous regions. To determine the optimal clustering method, both K-means and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) clustering were an...

Identifying the dominant mechanisms of water and soil salinization in arid and semi-arid endorheic basins is fundamental for our understanding of basin-scale water–salt balance and supports water resources management. In many inland basins, min...

A clear understanding of water droplet formation and distribution dynamics is fundamental to improving the hydraulic performance and operational efficiency of sprinkler irrigation systems. This study presents an experimental investigation of droplet...

Forests play a key role in sustaining global water cycles by regulating precipitation partitioning, which in turn influences both water yield and ecosystem stability. Thinning is a silvicultural tool used to improve forest plantation productivity, bu...

The lower Yellow River, characterized by high sediment concentration and complex channel evolution, faces a persistent challenge of maintaining erosion–deposition balance. Using long-term hydrological and cross-sectional data (1950–2022)...

Implementing natural resource protection systems and improving regional water resource utilization efficiency are effective ways to resolve the contradiction between economic development and water resource poverty. To this end, this paper establishes...

Wave–current coupling significantly increases the vulnerability of underwater pile foundations to scour, making effective protection measures essential for waterborne structures. In this study, a group pile of a sea-crossing bridge in Zhejiang...

Riverine–lacustrine ecosystems in river–lake continua face increasing threats, yet conventional vulnerability maps often overlook local degradation drivers. This study presents an advanced satellite-based mapping framework using Deep Atte...

As one of the key water bodies in the Beijing region, the water quality of the Yongding River directly impacts the ecological security and residents’ lives in China’s capital. The national government places high importance on the ecologic...

Many studies have been conducted on wave and sediment movement with submerged dikes. However, the effect of a submerged dike’s height and orientation on hydrodynamics has not been thoroughly examined from the perspective of the marine ecology i...
