Inland navigation and land use interact to impact European freshwater biodiversity
...
Inland navigation in Europe is proposed to increase in the coming years, being promoted as a low-carbon form of transport. However, we currently lack knowledge on how this would impact biodiversity at large scales and interact with existing stressors. Here we addressed this knowledge gap by analysing fish and macroinvertebrate community time series...
Recent dynamics in sediment connectivity in the Ethiopian Highlands
Sediment connectivity indexes serve as a diagnostic tool for investigating the overall hydro-geomorphological functioning. The primary factors influencing sediment connectivity are rainfall and changes in land cover. For the period 1995-2016, we investigated changes in sediment connectivity in two ca.1000 km2 catchments located in the Ethiopian Hig...
On the relation between antecedent basin conditions and runoff coefficient for European floods
...
The event runoff coefficient (i.e. the ratio between event runoff and precipitation that originated the runoff) is a key factor for understanding basin response to precipitation events. Runoff coefficient depends on precipitation intensity and duration but also on specific basin geohydrology attributes (including soil type, geology, land cover, top...

A data driven gully head susceptibility map of Africa at 30 m resolution
Predicting gully erosion at the continental scale is challenging with current generation models. Moreover, datasets reflecting gully erosion processes are still rather scarce, especially in Africa. This study aims to bridge this gap by collecting an extensive dataset and developing a robust, empirical model that predicts gully head density at high ...
Estimating the runoff response from hillslopes treated with soil and water conservation structures in the semi-arid Ethi...
Planning and management of water resources is crucial to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure food security in drylands. For this, adaptable and reliable runoff prediction models are urgently needed to support water harvesting and irrigation development. In this study we explored the potential of the runoff Curve Number (CN) method to estim...
