Supporting evidence — 5 representative gaps

• A simplified model to investigate the hydrological regimes of temporary wetlands: the case study of Doñana marshland (Spain) (2026) · Hydrology and Earth System Sciences · doi

  There is a lack of studies on the hydrological modelling of temporary wetlands, particularly regarding their water needs under changing environmental conditions. - There is a need for simple and effective tools for estimating the water requirements of wetlands. - There is a need for integrated water resources planning and management that takes into account environmental needs.

  Future research should focus on applying the WetMAT model to other wetlands and critical environments. - Future research should explore the use of more complex models that can capture the complexities of wetland systems. - Future research should investigate the impacts of climate change on wetlands and other critical environments.

• A simplified model to investigate the hydrological regimes of temporary wetlands: the case study of Doñana marshland (Spain) (2026) · Hydrology and Earth System Sciences · doi

  The study uses a simplified model that may not capture all the complexities of the wetland system. - The study is based on historical time series data, which may not be representative of future conditions. - The study focuses on a single case study, the Doñana marshland in Spain.

• SAR image integration for multi-temporal analysis of Lake Manchar Wetland dynamics using machine learning (2024) · Scientific Reports · cited 51× · doi

  This unexpected finding warrants further investigation and may reflect local land use policies, economic factors, or data classification nuances. While this study provides valuable insights into the recent dynamics of the Manchar Lake wetland, several areas warrant further investigation: Long-term hydrological modeling to understand the impacts of climate change and water management prac- tices on wetland hydrology.
