Abstract

Assessing hydrological dynamics of wetlands is essential for understanding ecological services. This study utilized open-access Sentinel-2 satellite data to enhance conservation management by enabling near-real-time monitoring and assessment of hydrological dynamics in conserved lands across Nebraska, United States. Using machine learning and Google Earth Engine, this research classifies surface water cover rate for different conserved land sites in Nebraska in 2018–2021. The results of the study confirmed successful inundation performance in conserved wetland sites under Wildlife Management Areas (WMA), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), and Waterfowl Production Areas (WPA). The WMA sites had the highest inundated area rate of 16.41%, indicating active hydrological inundation of the core conserved land areas. The WRP and WPA sites reached a mean annual surface water cover rate of 8.07% and 7.51%, respectively, demonstrating occasional flooding or periodic inundation of core wetland areas but limited inundation coverages of the surrounding areas. The findings confirmed that wetland conservation practices are functioning very well on the sites with higher inundation rates, but hydrological restoration at the watershed scale could boost conservation performance for the entire conserved land areas. The findings of this research provide robust evidence for obtaining surface water inundation data, which is crucial for sustainable conservation assessment and achieving long-term goals in wetland monitoring, protection, and management.

2018-2021 年间评估美国内布拉斯加州三种不同保护计划下的湿地水文性能
评估湿地的水文动态对了解生态服务至关重要。本研究利用开放访问的 "哨兵-2 "卫星数据,通过对美国内布拉斯加州保护地的水文动态进行近实时监测和评估,加强保护管理。本研究利用机器学习和谷歌地球引擎,对 2018-2021 年内布拉斯加州不同保护地的地表水覆盖率进行了分类。研究结果证实,野生动物管理区(WMA)、湿地保护区计划(WRP)和水禽生产区(WPA)下的受保护湿地地点的淹没性能成功。野生动物管理区的淹没面积率最高,达到 16.41%,这表明核心保护区的水文淹没非常活跃。WRP 和 WPA 地块的年平均地表水覆盖率分别为 8.07% 和 7.51%,表明核心湿地区域偶尔出现洪水或周期性淹没,但周边区域的淹没覆盖率有限。研究结果证实,在淹没率较高的地点,湿地保护措施运行良好,但在流域范围内进行水文恢复可提高整个湿地保护区的保护绩效。这项研究的结果为获取地表水淹没数据提供了有力的证据,而地表水淹没数据对于可持续保护评估以及实现湿地监测、保护和管理的长期目标至关重要。

期刊介绍: JAWRA seeks to be the preeminent scholarly publication on multidisciplinary water resources issues. JAWRA papers present ideas derived from multiple disciplines woven together to give insight into a critical water issue, or are based primarily upon a single discipline with important applications to other disciplines. Papers often cover the topics of recent AWRA conferences such as riparian ecology, geographic information systems, adaptive management, and water policy. JAWRA authors present work within their disciplinary fields to a broader audience. Our Associate Editors and reviewers reflect this diversity to ensure a knowledgeable and fair review of a broad range of topics. We particularly encourage submissions of papers which impart a ''take home message'' our readers can use.
