“…Furthermore, the absence of snow and the resulting water scarcity increase the demand for irrigation, but reduced water availability complicates meeting this need [18]. In addition to water scarcity, the changing climate and snowpack affect snowmelt patterns, heightening the risk of flooding [19][20][21]. Increased rain-on-snow events further intensify this risk [22].…”

Snow plays a crucial role in the global water cycle, providing water to over 20% of the world’s population and serving as a vital component for flora, fauna, and climate regulation. Changes in snow patterns due to global warming have far-reaching impacts on water management, agriculture, and other economic sectors such as winter tourism. Additionally, they have implications for environmental stability, prompting migration and cultural shifts in snow-dependent communities. Accurate information on snow and its variables is, thus, essential for both scientific understanding and societal planning. This review explores the potential of remote sensing in monitoring snow water equivalent (SWE) on a large scale, analyzing 164 selected publications from 2000 to 2023. Categorized by methodology and content, the analysis reveals a growing interest in the topic, with a concentration of research in North America and China. Methodologically, there is a shift from passive microwave (PMW) inversion algorithms to artificial intelligence (AI), particularly the Random Forest (RF) and neural network (NN) approaches. A majority of studies integrate PMW data with auxiliary information, focusing thematically on remote sensing and snow research, with limited incorporation into broader environmental contexts. Long-term studies (>30 years) suggest a general decrease in SWE in the Northern Hemisphere, though regional and seasonal variations exist. Finally, the review suggests potential future SWE research directions such as addressing PMW data issues, downsampling for detailed analyses, conducting interdisciplinary studies, and incorporating forecasting to enable more widespread applications.

“…Investigation into the thermal equilibrium status of the target river ecosystems in the study area and their ecological restoration bears considerable importance [6][7][8][9]. Firstly, such studies aid in deepening the understanding of ecosystem response mechanisms under climate change and human interventions, subsequently providing a scientific foundation for river ecosystem conservation and recovery [10].…”

With intensifying global climate change and human activities, small-to-medium river ecosystems in the northern area of China are confronted with unparalleled thermal stress challenges. These rivers play a pivotal role in regional ecological balance, water resource provision, and biodiversity conservation. Although extant studies have addressed ecological restoration of rivers, most methodologies have predominantly focused on ecological responses under single-factor influences, overlooking the intricate coupling of multiple factors. Furthermore, exploration concerning the central role of biological activity and bio-regulation in thermal adaptability remains inadequate. This study aims to meticulously analyze the thermal equilibrium status of river ecosystems in northern China and proposes an optimized ecological restoration decision-making approach that considers multi-factor coupling. By assessing microbial activity indicators, conducting thermal equilibrium and bio-regulation analyses, and introducing a comprehensive decisionmaking framework, this research offers a scientific, systematic, and feasible strategy for the ecological restoration of small-to-medium rivers in northern China, serving also as a reference for parameter determination in wheat-corn Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) in the North China Plain and for water-fertilizer management and decision-making.
