Journal ArticleDOI
The River Rhine: a global highway for dispersal of aquatic invasive species
Rob S. E. W. Leuven,Gerard van der Velde,Gerard van der Velde,Iris Baijens,Janneke Snijders,Christien van der Zwart,H. J. Rob Lenders,Abraham bij de Vaate +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the invasion corridors for aquatic species to the river Rhine and identified six principal invasion corridors to the Rhine in the last two centuries, and the average number of invasions per decade shows a sharp increase from 1 to 13 species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Possibilities of visible–near-infrared spectroscopy for the assessment of soil contamination in river floodplains
TL;DR: In this article, a multivariate calibration procedure using partial least squares (PLS) regression was developed to establish a relationship between reflectance spectra in the visible-near-infrared (VNIR) region and spectrally active soil characteristics (organic matter and clay content) that are inter-correlated with concentration levels of Cd and Zn.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the risks of aquatic species invasions via European inland waterways: from concepts to environmental indicators.
Vadim E. Panov,B. Alexandrov,Kęstutis Arbačiauskas,Rosa Binimelis,Gordon H. Copp,Michał Grabowski,Frances E. Lucy,Rob S. E. W. Leuven,Stefan Nehring,Momir Paunović,V. P. Semenchenko,Mikhail O. Son +11 more
TL;DR: A conceptual risk assessment model for invasive alien species introductions via European inland waterways, with specific protocols that focus on the development of environmental indicators within the socioeconomic context of the driving forces–pressures–state–impact–response framework is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring field vegetation reflectance as an indicator of soil contamination in river floodplains.
Lammert Kooistra,Eric Ariel L. Salas,Jan G. P. W. Clevers,Ron Wehrens,Rob S. E. W. Leuven,Piet H. Nienhuis,Lutgarde M. C. Buydens +6 more
TL;DR: The results corroborate the potential of hyperspectral remote sensing to contribute to the survey of elevated metal concentrations in floodplain soils under grassland using the spectral response of the vegetation as an indicator.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential of field spectroscopy for the assessment of sediment properties in river floodplains
Lammert Kooistra,J. Wanders,G.F. Epema,Rob S. E. W. Leuven,Ron Wehrens,Lutgarde M. C. Buydens +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used partial least squares (PLS) regression to establish a relationship between soil reflectance spectra measured under field conditions and the organic matter and clay content of the soil.
