Insight into landscape characteristics influence on the adaptability of estuarine shallow groundwater system to 100-year extreme precipitation by Qian Zheng, Fubin Luo, De Wang

“…Patterns 3 and 4, compared to patterns 1 and 2, exhibit lower groundwater adaptability, being more susceptible to groundwater salinization and waterlogging, and tending to take longer to recover from disturbances caused by extreme storm precipitation. Landscape characteristics, particularly the combination of artificial and natural waterways, regulate the differences in groundwater responses among the four patterns by modulating three types of groundwater-precipitation relationships. …”
