Spatial analysis, local people’s perception and economic valuation of wetland ecosystem services in the Usumacinta floodplain, Southern Mexico
"People who are interdisciplinary in environmental economics will be interested in this article."
Jianhua Xu, Handling Editor
Assessment of crusting effects on interrill erosion by laser scanning
"In this study changes in microtopography of two soils were monitored through laser scanning. This work suggests a quantitative approach to investigate interrill erosion processes helping to shed light on the crusting effect on soil erosional responses."
Marco Cavalli, Handling Editor
Estimation of regional irrigation water requirements and water balance in Xinjiang, China during 1995–2017
"This paper has certain reference significance for water resources utilization in arid areas. I recommend that this article be accepted for publication."
Jianhua Xu, Handling Editor
Basic and target eco-environment water requirements of a dry inland river under typical flow frequencies in China
"This article has certain reference significance for ecological hydrology research."
Jianhua Xu, Handling Editor
Vegetation dynamic analysis based on multisource remote sensing data in the east margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China
"Advanced use of satellite data for vegetation modeling"
Tal Svoray, Handling Editor
Quantitative estimation of wastewater quality parameters by hyperspectral band screening using GC, VIP and SPA
"The use of hyperspectral methods could decrease cost and increase the throughput of wastewater analysis and thus improve understanding of pollutant loads and their inherent variability."
Timothy Scheibe, Handling Editor
Multiple ecosystem services from field margin vegetation for ecological sustainability in agriculture: scientific evidence and knowledge gaps
"Provides understandings of ecosystem services from field margin vegetation for ecological sustainability in agriculture。"
Le Yu, Handling Editor
Seasonal variation in apparent conductivity and soil salinity at two Narragansett Bay, RI salt marshes
"This approach to salinity mapping could greatly contribute to other investigations examining responses to salinity changes."
Joseph Smoak, Handling Editor
Accurate spatiotemporal predictions of daily stream temperature from statistical models accounting for interactions between climate and landscape
"Stream temperature is an important concern in a warming climate, especially for the viability of cold water aquatic species such as salmon. New approaches such as described here are important to advancing our understanding of the physical controls on stream temperature dynamics."
Douglas Burns, Handling Editor
Lead isotope trends and sources in the atmosphere at the artificial wetland
"Major sources of lead in the atmosphere over wetland in China during different seasons are identified by using the advanced stable isotope method."
