Image-driven hydrological parameter coupled identification of flood plain wetland conservation and restoration sites.

TL;DR: This study assesses the impact of the Three Gorges Dam on hydrological connectivity of Poyang Lake's floodplain, revealing significant alterations, particularly during receding periods, with average reductions in connectivity function of 17.38% and 13.62% in North-South and West-East directions, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors analyzed the similarities and differences among the ecosystem services provided by the Spanish RAMSAR Mediterranean wetlands, where rice production is the main economic activity, and showed that there are statistically significant differences in priorities among the three study areas due to geographical and cultural reasons.

TL;DR: In this paper , Wang et al. explored the role of hydrological characters on the trophic state (TS) of wetlands and explored the linkage between HS and TS.

TL;DR: A method to construct a decision tree based classifier is proposed that maintains highest accuracy on training data and improves on generalization accuracy as it grows in complexity.

TL;DR: The Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) as mentioned in this paper is a new method that has been developed to delineate open water features and enhance their presence in remotely-sensed digital imagery.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an updated estimate based on updated unit ecosystem service values and land use change estimates between 1997 and 2011, using the same methods as in the 1997 paper but with updated data, the estimate for the total global ecosystem services in 2011 is $125 trillion/yr (assuming updated unit values and changes to biome areas).
