The MAPOCHO 42K Project originates in 2009 as part of an undergraduate academic experience under the support of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, which later develops as an eight-yearlong applied research, whose ...

Few studies have quantified changes in riparian and adjacent forestacross landscape units. In this study, the composition and structure ofriparian and adjacent forest were compared in a humid and a semiarid ecoregionin ...

Land cover change for agricultural expansion exerts strong pressures on tropical streams. We examined the relative contributions of catchment land cover, local environmental features, and spatial patterns on stream fish ...

Riparian forests are important for the structure and functioning of stream ecosystems, providing structural components such as large woody debris (LWD). Changes in these forests will cause modifications in the LWD input ...

Objective: In this study we aimed to understand how extrinsic environmental factors measured in the watercourses and the surrounding landscape influence the ichthyofauna of first-order streams. Methods: Data were collected ...

Riparian vegetation represents a protective barrier between human activities installed in catchments and capable of generating and exporting large amounts of contaminants, and stream water that is expected to keep quality ...

In tropical regions where forests have been replaced by agriculture, the future of biodiversity is increasingly dependent on the presence of remnant forest patches and on-farm tree cover within agricultural landscapes. ...

Distributions of aquatic macrophyte species are commonly associated with water chemistry characteristics. However, other environmental factors that can lead to the occurrence of aquatic plants in lotic ecosystems, such as ...
