The southeastern United States hosts extensive forested wetlands, providing ecosystem services including carbon sequestration, water quality improvement, groundwater recharge, and wildlife habitat. However, these wetland ecosystems are dependent on local climate and hydrology, and are therefore at risk due to climate and land use change. This study develops site-specific empirical hydrologic mo...

[1] Areas with a relatively shallow water table are environments where the groundwater plays a key role on the ecosystem function, and important interactions exist between hydrology and ecosystem processes. We propose here an analytical model to study the interactions between rainfall, water table, and vegetation in groundwater-dependent ecosystems. The water table dynamics are studied as a ran...

Ž . A regionalised autoregressive exogenous variable RARX model is presented for the relationship between precipitation surplus and water table depth. The parameters of the RARX model are ‘guessed’ at unvisited locations using auxiliary information such as soil profile descriptions, Ž . topographic maps and digital elevation models DEM . In the direct method, the guessed parameters are used to ...

In order to make any sea level dive table usable during high altitude diving, a new conversion factor is created. We introduce the standardized equivalent sea depth (SESD), which allows conversion of the actual lake diving depth (ALDD) to an equivalent sea dive depth. SESD is defined as the sea depth in meters or feet for a standardized sea dive, equivalent to a mountain lake dive at any altitu...

lack of sewage collection systems, percolation of surface waters, and seepage of wells have raised the groundwater table in shiraz area in the south of iran. the growing population generates environmental pollution resulting in the degradation of the quality of surface and groundwaters used for agriculture. inorganic and organic pollutants have been traced in shiraz water resources. heavy metal...

Peatland water table depth (WTD) and wetness have widely been monitored with optical synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing but there is a lack of studies that used multi-sensor data, i.e., combination SAR data. We assessed how well WTD can be whether approach boosts explanatory capacity are differences in regression performance between data peatland types. Our consisted continuous multi...
