Advancements in monitoring: a comparison of traditional and application-based tools for measuring outdoor recreation

"With the example of the Columbia and Canadian Rocky Mountains the authors compared a number of approaches to estimate recreation use and identified their specific strengths and limitations. Their findings help managers to select the best suited (combination of) tools to assess recreation use and to reduce pressure on wildlife."

Analysis of measurement differences and causes of C, N, and P in river flooding areas—taking the Hailar River in China as an example

"The connection between biochemistry and hydrology is highly important because it allows for a comprehensive understanding of how chemical processes affect water movement and quality within ecosystems. Biochemical processes, such as nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and microbial activity, directly influence the chemical composition of water bodies. These processes can affect water pH, nutrient availability, and the presence of contaminants, which in turn impact plant and animal life. In summary, integrating biochemistry and hydrology provides critical insights into the interactions between chemical processes and water dynamics, ultimately leading to better-informed environmental management and conservation practices."
