This study investigates the attitude-behavior gap regarding urban renaturation in Batna, Algeria, revealing that while residents strongly value nature and are dissatisfied with current green spaces, their actual engagement is unevenly constrained by limited conceptual awareness, education levels, and gendered access patterns.
Based on a 16-year observational analysis (2009–2024) of eight meteorological stations, this study reveals that the Northwestern highlands of Vietnam are experiencing significant elevation-dependent warming and intensifying monsoon precipitation, with specific stations showing warming rates up to four times the national average and substantial increases in annual rainfall that underscore the region's heightened climate sensitivity.
This study reveals that biomass burning smoke-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) exerts feedstock-specific and aging-dependent effects on copper(II) adsorption in acidic soils, where nitrogen-enriched alfalfa-derived DOM consistently enhances adsorption through surface binding, while oxygen-rich pinewood and corn straw-derived DOM initially inhibit or show no effect due to the formation of soluble aqueous complexes.
This study characterizes severe soil contamination by high-energy materials (RDX, HMX, and TNT) at three Indian explosive handling sites, quantifies their physicochemical properties, and calculates Soil and Environmental Quality Indices to establish a critical database for developing sustainable remediation strategies.
This paper demonstrates how the European Digital Twin Ocean (EDITO) bridges the gap between ocean science and policy-making by utilizing configurable, FAIR workflows on European cloud infrastructure to transform trusted models into actionable, policy-ready services for biodiversity conservation, decarbonisation, and emergency response.
This study of construction professionals in Ibadan, Nigeria, reveals that while recycling and formal collection are the most common waste management practices, their implementation remains fragmented and reactive due to severe infrastructure constraints, underscoring the urgent need for mandatory waste management plans, targeted infrastructure investment, and professional training to achieve sustainable development.
The paper introduces CasCorrDiff, a two-stage generative diffusion framework that outperforms traditional quantile mapping methods in climate downscaling by preserving spatial coherence, inter-variable dependencies, and event sequencing across scales from 100 km to 1 km, while enabling on-demand inference decoupled from multi-decade baselines.
This study demonstrates that ship noise in Northern Chilean Patagonia significantly reduces the communication space of endangered Southeast Pacific blue whales, with an 8-knot vessel speed limit shown to effectively mitigate both acoustic masking and ship-strike risks.
This global scientometric analysis of 187 publications from 1971 to 2026 reveals that crocodilian ecotoxicology research has surged since 2000, primarily focusing on *Alligator mississippiensis* and *Caiman latirostris* in the US, Argentina, Brazil, and South Africa, while highlighting a shift toward mechanistic assessments and identifying critical taxonomic and geographical gaps to guide future biomonitoring and conservation efforts.
This paper introduces an open, reproducible geodesic-cap sampling framework that reveals how the co-variation between surface temperature and other climatic parameters is consistent for thermal factors but regime-dependent for non-thermal factors across major Köppen climate types, demonstrating how global aggregation can obscure regional patterns through the cancellation of opposing correlations.
