“…To begin with, Annonaceae species have therapeutic potential [ 29 , 36 , 103 ], and are important in the region [ 32 , 37 ]. If plant species die in their natural environment due to climate change, it may take a long time to recover their economic importance to Africans and the ecological value of linked biocoenosis [ 104 , 105 ]. Second, our modeling predicts the expansion of suitable habitats based solely on climate data and a few environmental variables; however, other factors such as human activities, geological conditions, and biological interactions may limit this habitat expansion [ 106 ].…”

“…Transverse ditches filled with gravel and sand can be used to effectively increase soil moisture [77]. To improve the sustainability of a watershed, it is essential to identify aspects such as the water quantity and quality, species, ecosystems, resilience to climate change, and local culture [78,79]. Ecological management aimed at improving the quality of land use involves the transformation of grasslands into forests.…”

In this study, we performed a preliminary soil analysis and collected environmental data for the Dulcepamba River Basin in Bolivar–Ecuador, before carrying out its hydrological restoration (HR). A geographic information system (GIS) and the multicriterion Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) decision-making method were used. The comprehensive evaluation included morphological aspects, soil properties, climatic conditions, vegetation, and land use. The terrain conditions were investigated using indicators such as the flow capacity, topographic moisture, soil resistance, sediment transport, current density, curve number, NDVI, precipitation, and distance to rivers. The results and analysis are presented in a series of maps, which establish a starting point for the HR of the Dulcepamba watershed. The key factors for assessing soil degradation in the watershed include land use, vegetation cover, sedimentation, humidity, and precipitation. Of the studied territory, 10.7 do not require HR, while 20.28% demand HR in the long term. In addition, 30.67% require HR in the short term, and 33.35% require HR immediately. Based on the findings, it is suggested that authorities consider the environmental remediation of the watershed and propose various HR measures. This analytical approach could prove valuable as a tool for the environmental restoration of watersheds in Ecuador.

“…Simultaneously maintaining a river morphology close to nature while preventing river bed erosion (through sediment transport management) and providing flood protection. Along many sections of the Carpathian rivers, river bed systems are still obliged to comply with technical river regulations that are not always appropriate [CURTEAN-BĂNĂDUC et al 2007;ZALEWSKI et al 2021]. It is, therefore, necessary to recognise which mountain river training structures can be accommodated in a mountain river fluvial system and positively affect the biological life of both macrobenthos and fish [BYLAK et al 2017;KUKUŁA 2003;2006].…”

When modelling flow and/or sediment transport in streams and rivers, one must frequently use the computer software of differing levels of complexity. The level of sophistication, accuracy, and quality of results are the parameters by which models can be classified as being 1D, 2D, or 3D; it seems certain that in the future, there will also be 4D and 5D models. However, the results obtained from very sophisticated models are frequently questionable, and designers in the field of hydraulic structures must have considerable experience distinguishing important information from irrelevant information. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the effect of the selected boulder block ramp hydraulic structure at Poniczanka stream on the bed-load transport. We evaluated sediment transport using the CCHE2D numerical model. We analysed several scenarios depending on the river bed type (erodible, non-erodible, rocky) and examined the rock blocks used for hydraulic structure construction. The obtained results were compared with the Hjulström and the Shields graph, which are a classic approach for identifying fluvial processes in river channels. In addition to these two methods, numerical modelling using the 1D HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center's River Analysis System) modelling were conducted, which included the determination of horizontal and vertical changes to the river bed morphology of the examined section of river reach as well as providing the basic hydrodynamics parameters which, from the practical point of view, designers involved in the process of designing ramps could use.
