These processes regulate estuarine environmental conditions, ecosystem function, and shifts in the beta diversity of biological communities. Here, we (i) assessed the beta diversity of benthic macroinvertebrate communities between hydrological periods and along an estuarine gradient, and (ii) tested the influence of environmental variables and sediment composition on this diversity. This study was conducted in two tropical estuaries with different anthropogenic impact levels during the dry and rainy periods. Four zones were defined in each estuary, spanning the entire estuarine gradient, with three sampling sites and three sampling units per site. Subtidal benthic macroinvertebrates were collected from each zone. Physical and chemical variables of the water and sediment granulometric composition were measured. Ordination analyses were used to quantify beta diversity. Environmental gradients influenced community composition more strongly than sediment characteristics and instability caused by freshwater inflow. Beta diversity was lower during hydrological periods with reduced dissolved nutrient concentrations. In general, intermediate zones along the gradient showed higher beta diversity, demonstrating greater environmental variability. Our results reveal that nutrient concentrations structure estuarine benthic macroinvertebrate communities: periods with better water quality show lower community variability, whereas areas with stronger freshwater–saltwater mixing exhibit increased variability, highlighting the role of environmental heterogeneity in sustaining biodiversity. Maintaining balanced estuarine gradients and environmental quality is fundamental to supporting diverse and stable benthic communities that underpin the functioning and resilience of coastal ecosystems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56070,"journal":{"name":"Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology","volume":"26 2","pages":"Article 100752"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147612290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dense vegetation (lateral and longitudinal spacing = 2.5 cm) reduced near-bank streamwise velocity by up to 45%, with the maximum suppression observed at downstream cross-sections. Spur structures produced localized flow resistance and reduced velocity by up to 30%, but their influence diminished downstream of the spur region. TKE* peaked around 4-5 near spur tips, indicating localized turbulence amplification, while dense vegetation reduced TKE* to 1.5-2, aligning with canopy height and demonstrating its role in damping energy transfer. RSS* values reached approximately 6 near spurs, signifying enhanced downward momentum exchange, whereas dense vegetation reduced RSS* to about 2, confirming suppression of vertical turbulence. Quadrant analysis showed that spurs intensified outward (Q1) and sweep (Q4) bursts, whereas dense vegetation enhanced ejection (Q2) events, promoting upward momentum transfer and reducing near-bed shear stress. Overall, dense vegetation proved more effective than structural measures in stabilizing flow and reducing turbulence, offering a sustainable approach for riverbank protection and sediment control in channel systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56070,"journal":{"name":"Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology","volume":"26 2","pages":"Article 100732"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146116684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article gives a smarter hydroponic crop production system combining Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and deep learning algorithms to offer real-time nutrient observations and climate control. Unlike existing IoT-AI hydroponic systems that rely on static threshold logic or shallow prediction models, the proposed IDL-SHF framework introduces an integrated edge-based predictive control pipeline combining multivariate LSTM forecasting with real-time feedback actuation. The system was experimentally validated in a controlled hydroponic research laboratory located at [Insert Institution Name, City, Country]. The proposed architecture utilizes the network of pH, EC, temperature, and humidity sensor, NPK sensors, and data is relayed through MQTT protocol to cloud-based platform. It trained Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model on the historical data collected and measured real-time using more than 10,000 sensor readings to forecast optimal climate parameters and nutrient levels. The proposed system produced a 27.6 percent reduction in nutrient wastage and a 19.3 percent increase in crop yield compared to the conventional threshold-based systems in a trial of a lettuce crop over 60 days of growth. Actuators were incorporated into the climate control module that delivered accuracy of ±1.2 o C in the temperature and ±3 percent in humidity. These findings prove that the system can transfer the decision-making process without too much human intervention. This framework will provide a cost-efficient and expandable platform to precision agriculture that will help in food security and sustainability of the environment.

Zooplankton assemblages and water-quality parameters were sampled at 12 stations during monsoon, post-monsoon, and pre-monsoon seasons between June 2024 and May 2025. Zooplankton community structure exhibited pronounced seasonal reorganization, whereas spatial differences among stations were comparatively weak, indicating that monsoon-driven disturbance outweighed longitudinal gradients. Zooplankton density, richness, and diversity were lowest during the monsoon and increased markedly during the post-monsoon period, consistent with short-term ecological recovery following disturbance. Multivariate (RDA) and generalized linear model (GLM) analyses identified salinity and total suspended solids (TDS) as the primary environmental drivers structuring assemblage dynamics.

Diatoms are excellent bioindicators, useful for detecting ecological shifts driven by natural fluctuations or anthropogenic impacts. This study investigates whether differences in the floristic composition, measured as diversity and uniqueness (i.e., the proportion of taxa occurring exclusively in one pond), of diatom communities at small spatial scales among alpine TPs (Central Apennines, Italy) are mainly driven by isolation, elevation, or environmental factors. We found that diatom diversity in alpine biomes primarily responds to local geographical gradients, which tend to obscure any detectable effects of environmental variables. Elevation plays a key role in shaping the uniqueness of diatom communities in TPs, as higher ponds host a greater proportion of exclusive taxa. Our results indicate that local environmental conditions associated with elevation override the effects of isolation (distance between ponds), leading to the development of functionally distinct diatom communities at higher altitudes. The diversity and uniqueness of diatom assemblages are influenced by a combination of geographic and, to a lesser extent, environmental factors, with elevation acting as a central driver, both enriching diversity and promoting floristically unique communities, especially in interaction with other variables. Furthermore, electrical conductivity appears to favour communities composed of similarly adapted species, likely reflecting specific ecological conditions or adaptive responses to environmental gradients.

However, high-mountain temporary ponds exhibit a distinctive hydrological cycle. For the first time, we define this pattern as a “double dry phase”, consisting of two distinct dry periods within the same annual cycle. The first is a “classic” summer dry phase, when rising temperatures and scarce precipitation cause complete desiccation. The second is a “frozen” winter dry phase, when ponds, unlike most lakes, freeze entirely due to their shallow depth (typically &lt;8 m). Complete freezing makes these systems biologically inactive, creating a functional drought despite the physical presence of ice.

These unique ecosystems remain biologically active only for a few months each year, during which liquid water is available.
