Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment01:17

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

286
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Design Example: Design of an Irrigation Channel

764
Trapezoidal channels are widely used in irrigation systems due to their cost-effectiveness and efficiency in conveying water. Trapezoidal channels feature a flat bottom and sloping sides, making them stable and easier to construct compared to other shapes. The bottom width and side slope ratio are determined based on the required flow capacity and site conditions. The side slope is kept gentle for unlined channels to prevent soil erosion.Hydraulic parameters in channel design include the flow...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.6K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Design Example: Alignment of a Road Line Using GIS

335
The alignment of a road line using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a critical process in civil engineering, combining advanced technology with practical decision-making. This methodology begins with the collection of geospatial data, including information on land cover, geomorphology, drainage patterns, slope, and contour details. Such data is typically acquired through satellite imagery and GIS tools, offering a comprehensive understanding of the terrain.Once the data is gathered, it...

Keystone Species01:39

Keystone Species

24.1K
Measures of species biodiversity, such as richness (i.e., the number of species present) and evenness (i.e., their relative abundance), describe an ecological community’s structure. Many factors affect community structure, including abiotic factors (e.g., sunlight and nutrients), disturbances (e.g., fire or flood), species interactions (e.g., predation or competition), and chance events (e.g., foreign species invasion). Certain species—such as keystone species—also play a...

Habitat Fragmentation02:31

Habitat Fragmentation

21.1K
Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Conservation Biology
  • Climate Change Science

Background:

  • Climate change is causing significant species range shifts and population declines.
  • Maintaining biodiversity requires protected areas and suitable, connected habitats.
  • Landscape connectivity is vital for species movement and successful colonization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify national landscape connectivity in England for key taxa.
  • To model species distribution and connectivity under future climate change scenarios.
  • To identify critical areas for conservation planning by mapping the future connectivity network.

Main Methods:

  • Generated species distribution models for 15 taxa across three climate scenarios (current, 2050, 2090).
  • Applied circuit theory analysis to model landscape connectivity.
  • Used z-score standardization and identified the top decile of connectivity as the network.

Main Results:

  • The landscape connectivity network showed increased permeability and diffuse species requirements.
  • High connectivity areas were identified in South West/South East England and the central Pennines, indicating potential latitudinal shifts.
  • The national network spanned 1,029,000 ha, with 13% within Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs).

Conclusions:

  • Future species distributions will require more diffuse connectivity, highlighting the need for adaptive conservation strategies.
  • Specific regions in England are critical for maintaining landscape connectivity for diverse taxa.
  • The study provides a framework for identifying national and regional conservation priorities to support species under climate change.
