Co-evolution and adaptive management of the water-sediment-ecology-socioeconomic nexus under climate-socioeconomic change.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Understanding the coupled interactions among water resources, sediment processes, ecological restoration, and socio-economic development is critical for sustainable river basin management under changing environments, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. The Ningxia reach of the Yellow River Basin represents a strongly human-impacted system in arid/semi-arid area, where water scarcity, intensive regulation, and ecological vulnerability coexist. In this study, we develop an integrated water-sediment-ecology-socioeconomic (WSES) nexus framework based on System Dynamics to investigate long-term co-evolutionary processes and policy trade-offs in this region. The model is calibrated using long-term observational and statistical data from 2010 to 2021, and future simulations are conducted for the period 2022-2050 under combined scenarios.The model explicitly couples hydrological dynamics, sediment transport, ecological restoration measures, and socio-economic development, and is calibrated using long-term observational and statistical data. By combining afforestation and grassland restoration scenarios with SSPs-RCPs climate-socioeconomic pathways, we simulate system responses from 2010 to 2050. Results reveal pronounced nonlinear relationships and trade-offs between ecological benefits and water availability, identify threshold behaviors in water-sediment regulation, and demonstrate that high-emission pathways substantially amplify hydrological and environmental risks. Moderate ecological restoration (9% forest-grassland growth rate) under low-emission development pathways reduces sediment load by approximately 73% compared to the 3% restoration scenario, while maintaining a stable runoff range and supporting sustained economic growth, emerging as a more robust and adaptive strategy for balancing water security, sediment control, and economic growth.
