Estuarine tidal response to sea level rise: The significance of entrance restriction

Estuarine environments, as dynamic low-lying transition zones between rivers and the open sea, are vulnerable to sea level rise (SLR). To evaluate the potential impacts of SLR on estuarine responses, it is necessary to examine the altered tidal dynamics, i ...

Shift in plant-soil interactions along a lakeshore hydrological gradient

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Mathieu Raymond Santonja, Wenjuan Feng

Wetlands occupy the transitional zone between aquatic and terrestrial systems. Hydrological conditions have significant influence on wetland plant communities and soil biogeochemistry. However, our knowledge about plant-soil interactions in wetlands along ...

Membrane electrode assembly fabricated with the combination of Pt/C and hollow shell structured-Pt-SiO2@ZrO2 sphere for self-humidifying proton exchange membrane fuel cell

Andreas Züttel, Heena Yang, Youngdon Ko

The Pt-supported hollow structured Pt-HZrO2 with the shell thickness of 27 nm is successfully synthesized. The water retention ability of Pt-HZrO2 is significantly enhanced compared with that of SiO2@ZrO2 due to the hydrophilic hollow structured HZrO2 with ...

Impact of floods on the statistical distribution of riverbed vegetation

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Katharina Maria Edmaier

Investigating the colonization of river bars by pioneer vegetation, we discuss how the balance between uprooting by flooding events and reinforcement of plant roots determines the ability for vegetation to colonize the riverbed. In order to access the comp ...

Tailoring the hydraulic impedance of out-of-plane micromachined electrospray sources with integrated electrodes

Herbert Shea, Renato Krpoun

Hydraulic impedance is a critical parameter for the operation of electrospray emitters, and for preventing flooding when spraying from arrays of emitters. Controlling flow rate by tuning the flow impedance allows accessing different operating modes, such a ...

Modelling the impact of flooding stress on the growth performance of woody species using fuzzy logic

Rodolphe Schlaepfer

Among the driving processes responsible for riparian forest dynamics the species-specific impact of flooding on the development of woody plants plays a key role-particularly for lowland rivers. Only a few of the forest succession models currently in use in ...

Flooding tolerance of Central European tree and shrub species

Rodolphe Schlaepfer

Extensive efforts have been made in recent years to restore rivers with a view to increasing the ecological value of riparian areas and the surrounding landscape and to improving the protection provided against extreme flooding events. One of the important ...

Process-based, spatially-explicit modelling of riparian forest dynamics in Central Europe : tool for decision-making in river restoration

Christian Glenz

During the last decades public awareness of the limitations of traditional engineering practices and the imperative to conserve nature have led to changes in river management; including river restoration measures. The enlargement of the fluvial corridor is ...
