The study broadly identified and classified the indicators and attributes of land degradation into soil and site stability, hydrologic function and biotic integrity.
The decreased likelihood of debris flows over time is linked to the restoration of hydrologic function as vegetative cover and soil infiltration functioning return to pre-fire conditions.
Although Zumwalt old fields are dominated by exotic grasses, several factors favor their recolonization by native species, including their small size (<100 ha), proximity to unaltered native prairie, and intact hydrologic function.
Green infrastructure aims to restore watershed hydrologic function by more closely mimicking pre-development groundwater recharge and evapotranspiration (ET).
As small aquatic features embedded in a terrestrial landscape, temporary wetlands enhance biodiversity and provide aesthetic, biogeochemical, and hydrologic functions.
Thus, we conducted a study to evaluate the impact of these practices on the biogeochemical and hydrologic functioning of a constructed fen.
Offering sustainable stormwater source-control, green roofs utilize otherwise unused impervious urban surfaces to restore pre-development hydrologic functions such as infiltration and retention.
Improvements: – Better MMS functions and support.
Soil hydrologic functions are important for ecological restoration in karst landscapes where soil and water loss are serious.
However, its effects on soil hydrologic functions are still unknown.
