Aquatic and semi-aquatic plant assemblages, water quality, riparian habitat, and landscape conditions were assessed for 140 ponds located in the Ozarks region in Arkansas and Missouri in order to better describe their occurrences and distributional p...
Radioisotopic techniques provide powerful tools for reconstructing the history of lake sediments, offering critical insights into past environmental changes and human impacts. These techniques have contributed significantly to our understanding of pa...
Tropical wetlands are highly sensitive to climatic and anthropogenic disturbances, and their macrophyte communities provide valuable information about environmental conditions and habitat structure. This study evaluated the relationship between aquat...
Mineral waters represent unique limnological ecosystems with stable physicochemical conditions and specialised microbial communities adapted to extreme environments. Bulgarian mineral waters remain comparatively underexplored despite their considerab...
Most previous drought risk assessments have been done on monthly or annual time-scales, which do not directly correspond to crop conditions during wet and dry seasons. To address this limitation, this study introduces a novel framework for seasonal d...
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is among the world’s most invasive aquatic macrophytes, yet quantitative models of shoreline preference remain absent for Lake Victoria. This study developed a distance-based quantitative framework for spat...
Although South Africa has an extensive water infrastructure, it continues to face significant water scarcity due to its semi-arid climate, increasing urbanisation, ageing infrastructure, and pollution. These challenges, coupled with climate change an...
Freshwater lakes in Mediterranean regions are highly sensitive to climatic variability, particularly to droughts intensified by rising temperatures and increasing atmospheric evaporative demand. This study investigates drought variability and ecosyst...
This article analyzes the information provided by the sedimentary sequences of 29 lakes in central Mexico, 10 of which are currently paleolakes. During the Late Quaternary, the lakes of central Mexico experienced environmental changes driven by globa...
Mining activities can generate effluent contamination with potentially toxic elements such as iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn), posing environmental and technological challenges, particularly during mine closure and the decommissioning of mining structur...
Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly affected by eutrophication, sediment loading, and other anthropogenic pressures, creating a growing need for monitoring frameworks that are spatially extensive, temporally consistent, and methodologically robust...
Riverine systems in tropical deltaic environments are increasingly exposed to hydrological variability driven by climate change, sea level rise, and extreme precipitation. In Nigeria’s Niger Delta, recurrent flooding and environmental degradati...
Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly threatened by eutrophication and other anthropogenic and climate-driven pressures that undermine ecological functioning and biodiversity. This study evaluates the transferability of a GIS-based multi-criteria de...
Physicochemical and microbiological parameters are important indicators of drinking water quality. This study assessed the quality of groundwater used for drinking in four regions of Kosovo at 16 locations using an integrated assessment framework tha...
The Somyne lake-mire system is a unique wetland landscape complex in the Polissia region of Ukraine and forms part of the Rivne Nature Reserve. Its ecological importance is internationally recognised through its designation as the Ramsar wetland &ldq...
High Andean lagoons in southern Peru have critical hydrological and ecological functions; however, long-term time series integrating trophic, integral quality, and metal contamination metrics to support adaptive management are lacking. A total of 184...
Raphidiopsis raciborskii is one of the most widely reported cyanobacteria worldwide, responsible for dense blooms and cyanotoxin production. Classified as invasive, it has been documented across all continents except Antarctica. While its distributio...
In 2013, plants tentatively identified as Potamogeton nodosus Poir. were discovered in the Biebrza River (NE Poland). In this study, the authors confirm the presence of P. nodosus by collecting new specimens at the original location and analyzing the...
