Millipedes are soil macrodetritivores with considerable roles in decomposing organic matter and recycling nutrients. This paper aims to identify the effects of land use on millipedes based on a literature review. Land use changes impact species distribution, diversity, and behavior with consequences for litter decomposition and soil quality. Surrounding landscapes influence the millipedes' community structure. The effects of land use under different ecological contexts and in wetlands and woody riparian zones constitute essential gaps in knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This scientific paper examines the role of Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) approach in the protection of coastal and marine resources in Tanzania. It engages coastal resource users and practitioners in focus group discussions and interviews, and complements the data obtained with documented sources. A modified version of the Benefit Analysis Framework is adopted from Wenger et al. (2011) to analyze the extent to which ICM yields a wide range of benefits that may potentially promote the protection of coastal ecosystem and enhance the commitment of communities that live adjacent to the coastal strip to manage mangroves, fisheries, coral reefs, and coastal land in a sustainable manner.

This paper presents data compilation for invertebrates and protists indicator taxa of organic pollution and trophic state of continental waters. Information was collected from research papers, monographs, electronic resources, and our own research. Altogether 1732 indicator taxa of Kingdoms Protista, Protozoa, Chromista, and Animalia from 19 taxonomical Phyla are represented with ecological preferences for saprobity with saprobity index (S) and trophic state. This comprehensive data can be used for the purpose of aquatic ecosystem assessment and monitoring of water quality based on bioindication methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper documents the structure of flow and bed morphology of a cutoff meander of the Danube River in relationship with a GIS approach. The cutoffs effect produce changes in the repartition of the water and sediment fluxes between the natural channel and the manmade canal, with direct implications on the environmental evolution of the delta. The Dranov de Jos meander (Lower Dranov meander ‒ LDM) belt seems to be one of the most affected by the rectification works performed on Sfântu Gheorghe branch between 1981 and 1992. The upstream and downstream parts of the cutoff are characterized by the decrease of the channel width by banks sedimentation (with the rate of ‒6.2 m/year) and at the apex zone, the bank's sedimentation is associated with intense sediment infilling of the central part of the channel, where a large deposit of 950 m in length and 190 m in width is formed.

The aim of the present paper is to compile a list of the invasive alien species on the Black Sea coast of Georgia. The results have been received from an assessment of data collected from different sources. According to recent data, the greatest number of species (36%) has arrived into the Black Sea from the Mediterranean as a consequence of expanding the natural range or coming through the ballast waters. This proportion has increased with the rising water temperatures of the upper layer. Only a few of these species have become abundant and almost none have reached other seas of the Ponto-Caspian. Among these species are the representatives of micro-, phyto- and zooplankton, demersal plankton, macrophytes, zoobenthos and fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Monitoring rainforests in West Africa is necessary for natural resource management. Remote sensing is valuable for mapping tropical ecosystems and evaluation of landscape heterogeneity. This study presents landscape analysis in Sierra Leone which affects wildlife habitats and biodiversity. Methods include modules "r.mapcalc", "r.li.mps", "r.li.edgedensity", and "r.forestfrag" of GRASS GIS for satellite image processing by computation of mean patch size, edge density index and landscape fragmentation with six levels: exterior, patch, transitional, edge, perforated, and interior. The results demonstrate increased deforestation and landscape fragmentation in Sierra Leone over a 10-year period (2013 to 2023). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A novel inland record of the green alga Ulva intestinalis was found in central Kamchatka, in a brackish stream originating from cooled waters of drilled thermal springs. This species was observed in May 2017, but not encountered again at the same site despite targeted search. Its occurrence in central Kamchatka was surprising given the natural environment, and was probably related to both the presence of thermal springs and human disturbance. The sporadic inland appearance of U. intestinalis in this region suggests it may be unable to maintain stable populations in this region, and experience repeated local extinctions and recolonizations.

The Jinam River habitats inventory revealed the presence of alluvial valley, cascades, riffle-pools, boulders, cobbles, and gravel as types of substrata. The limnological parameters portrayed average values of air and water temperature, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, free carbon di-oxide, total alkalinity, and conductivity. This recent pioneering study on the fish of the Jinam River in the Dima Hasao District of Assam revealed the presence of 18 species belonging to 15 genera, five families, and three orders, which are reported for the first time through this paper. Worth highlighting is the abundance of Barilius bendelisis and Devario aequipinnatus, and the fewer numbers of Chanda nama, these warranting proper management and conservation of the fish for this river.

The paper presents the results of investigations on the aquatic vegetation, along the Romanian bank of the Danube River, in the area of Porţile de Fier (Iron Gates; Mehedinţi and Caraş-Severin counties), a Natura 2000 site. Twenty-three plant communities were identified from Lemnetea minoris and Potametea pectinati classes. The survey led to the identification of some newly described phytocoenotaxons in this protected area. All the plant communities in this paper are documented by phytosociologic tables, being accompanied by coenotaxonomic, phytogeographical, ecological and social strategies analysis, in order to assess their conservation status, as the main tool for management decisions.

This paper presents an analysis of the flow regime of the Timiş River in Romania. The analysis was based on hydrological data provided by the National Institute of Hydrology and Water Management in specialized publications (hydrological yearbooks or online series). The data were supplemented by personal observations in the field. The following leakage parameters were analyzed: average flow (monthly, seasonal, annual), maximum flow (especially flash floods) and minimum leakage. This paper highlights the link between hydrological parameters and conditioning factors of spatial distribution (characteristics of the geological substratum, relief units, elevation, slope) and temporal variation of flow (in function of type of supply, and variability and variation of climatic conditions).

This paper presents a geomorphologic analysis of the Timiş riverbed in Romania. The analysis was based on data from own observations in the field, within the project called 'Protection measurements of Timiş River - Step II' Contract 411/90964/30.12.2010/07 by the University 'Lucian Blaga' of Sibiu, Faculty of Sciences - Research Center of Applied Ecology, from June to December 2011. Minor riverbed configuration and morphometry, the size of the material from the riverbed, and the forms of erosion and accumulation have been considered. This paper highlights the riverbed morphology in the different sectors (mountain, depression and plain), identifies the dominant fluvial processes and key features in the evolution of the Timiş riverbed, and also establishes links between morphology, size of fluvial deposits and natural and anthropogenic control factors.
