Biodiversity assessment of groundwater-dependent ecosystems in Malta : evaluating copepods as bioindicators of groundwater health
This study investigates the biodiversity of groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) in Malta, focusing on copepods as bioindicators of groundwater health. Groundwater is essential in sustaining GDEs, yet these ecosystems remain underexplored, particularly in terms of local biodiversity. The aim of …

Remote sensing for detecting rapid post-fire recovery as Groundwater-Dependent Ecosystems in the Cape Floristic Region
Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) concentrate high levels of biodiversity and several species not found anywhere else. They prevail in the landscape through the ecological contribution of groundwater. They, GDEs, are vulnerable to drastic changes in groundwater depth. If, for example, bulk …

Grazing and Climate Effects on High Elevation Meadow Resources
… an umbrella species for restoration of sagebrush ecosystems in rangelands, due to its status as an indicator of overall rangeland health. Scarce mesic resources may lead to an energetic bottleneck for juvenile sage grouse, limiting fitness and survival rates. Mesic and ground-water dependent …

The capacity of the Cape Flats aquifer and its role in water sensitive urban design in Cape Town
… at two sites on the Cape Flats prone to winter groundwater flooding, viz. Sweet Home and Graveyard Pond informal settlements. The second objective of the study was to assess the storage potential and feasibility of MAR at two sites in the south of the Cape Flats, at Philippi and Mitchells Plain. …

Hydrologic Function Between Upland and Floodplain Shallow Water Dynamics of the Four Hole Swamp Fringe
… has shown that this research area's groundwater has the potential to range from approximately 19.1m to 17.5m AMSL; the research area contains 10 different soil series, which are mostly well drained; regardless of Mill Run's current ephemeral characteristics its watershed can produce …

Digital change detection and separation of anthropogenic and natural impacts on ecohydrological conditions in the Pilbara region, WA
… This is particularly relevant to Inflow and Groundwater Dependent Vegetation (IGDVs) (riparian vegetation and groundwater dependent vegetation) which provide important ecological services and, as such, require regional protection. However, such invaluable assets experience changes over time …
