The rapid progress of lidar technology has made the acquirement and application of high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) data increasingly popular, especially in regards to the study of floodplain flow. However, highresolution DEM data pose several disadvantages for floodplain modeling studies; e.g., the data sets contain many redundant interpolation points, large numbers of calculation...

One year of continuous data from two eddy-flux towers established along an elevation gradient in coastal Shanghai was analyzed to evaluate the tidal effect on carbon flux (Fc) over an estuarine wetland. The measured wavelet spectra and cospectra of Fc and other environmental factors demonstrated that the dynamics of Fc at both sites exhibited a tidal-driven pattern with obvious characteristics ...

The light and dark inundated fluxes of O2 and total CO2 (TCO2), as well as the concentrations of chlorophyll a and phaeopigments, were measured (ex situ) on the upper and lower portions of 2 intertidal mudflats—1 in the upper Huon Estuary (salinity 4 to 32) and 1 in a marine side-arm of the estuary (salinity 17 to 34)—over 4 seasons. Dark-exposed fluxes of O2 and CO2 were also measured on the u...

Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions are affected by a variety of biotic and abiotic factors such as light intensity, temperature, CO2 and drought. Another stress factor, usually overlooked but very important for the Amazon region, is flooding. We studied the exchange of VOCs in relation to CO2 exchange and transpiration of 8 common tree species from the Amazonian floodplain forest grown u...

Clinical descriptions of perceptual and attentional anomalies in schizophrenia emphasize phenomena such as flooding, or inundation, by sensory stimuli. A failure of sensory "gating" mechanisms in the brain is hypothesized to account for these symptoms, and this hypothesis has led to a marked interest in their putative psychophysiological substrates. However, there are no systematic analyses of ...

The age of wels (Silurus glanis L.) and the back calculated length at subsequent ages were estimated using sections of the first pectoral fins. The growth of this species in the Vistula River follows the von Bertallanfy curve. Some fish grew faster in the Zegrzyñski Reservoir after its inundation in 1962 than they had before. The two populations exhibited an intermediate growth rate which was b...

17 run-up algorithm. The code requires as input detailed information on seismic source mechanisms, gridded bathymetric data information for the open sea propagation, and a set of gridded Digital Elevation Models (DEM) containing bathymetry and topography for use during the inundation phase. Accurate bathymetry and topography data for Rhodes were purchased/collected from various sources, GIS-pro...

Abstract In temperate climates with cool‐season (winter/spring) dominated rainfall, river regulation typically reduces natural flow peaks and increases warm‐season flows for irrigation, often to the detriment of stream health. However, mechanisms driving seasonal effects elevated on herbaceous plants are not well understood. Our study aimed improve understanding role water temperature in plant ...
