The study of genomic control of drought tolerance in crops requires techniques to impose well defined and consistent levels of drought stress and efficiently measure single-plant water use for hundreds of experimental units over timescales of several months. Traditional gravimetric methods are extremely labor intensive or require expensive technolo...

Tropical peatland condition across southeast Asia is deteriorating as a result of conversion to agriculture and urban zones. Conversion begins by lowering the water table, which leads to peat decomposition, subsidence and increased risk of large-scale forest fires. Associated changes in mechanical peat properties impact the magnitude and timing of ...

Groundwater affects ecosystem services (ES) by altering critical zone ecohydrological and biogeochemical processes. Previous research has demonstrated significant and nonlinear impacts of shallow groundwater on ES regionally, but it remains unclear how groundwater affects ES at the global scale and how such effects respond to environmental factors....

Peatland forest conversion into cultivated land often creates environmental issues in the form of increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by the decomposition of organic matter that eventually increase the risk of peat forest fires. This paper presents the results of a study of the peatland water table dynamics based on certain peatland ch...

Mining of hard coal creates large underground cavities, which significantly affect the subsurface and land surface. Observations of land surface behaviour after the closure of mines demonstrate that these threats do not disappear. During mine water rebound in the post-mining phase of underground coalmines, the water flows into the open mine working...

Rapid urbanization, coupled with land use land cover changes (LULC), has caused stress on freshwater resources around the globe. As in the case of Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, the population has increased significantly, creating a deficit of natural resources and affecting the environment adversely. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to...

A non-damaging geophysical measurement technique test method ground penetrating radar (GPR) was carried out successfully in two sites in the middle and north of Iraq in order to investigate the feasibility of detecting the shallow underground water level in both selected sites. The results show that the groundwater depths in Baiji site were between...

Peatlands in Qinghai-Tibetan are degrading with climate change and human activities. Peatland degradation and climate change affect methane emissions. Methanogens are key functional microbes during methane production; however, knowledge of methanogens in degraded peatlands is lacking. Here, we investigated the effects of short-term (1 year) warming...

Wetlands around the globe are being impacted by changing temperature and precipitation patterns. Simultaneously black ash forested wetlands are expected to lose much of their overstory canopy due to the invasive Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Field experiments and modeling efforts have provided information on species tolerance of post-EAB conditions and ...
