This study utilizes 21 years of data from European mountaintops to demonstrate that alpine plant thermophilisation is driven by the interplay of macroclimate warming, reduced snow duration, and increasing shrub cover, which collectively alter microclimates and accelerate the loss of cold-adapted species.
This study demonstrates that a hybrid Wavelet-LSTM model, utilizing ERA5 meteorological data, significantly enhances the accuracy and robustness of multi-scale meteorological drought forecasting across six distinct climatic regions in Tanzania, offering a reliable framework for early warning and resource management.
This study presents an integrated petrophysical workflow combining electrofacies-based rock typing, quantitative clay mineral analysis, and rock-type-dependent saturation height modeling to significantly improve water saturation estimation and hydrocarbon volumetrics in the low-resistivity shaly sand reservoirs of the NEAG-5 Field, Egypt.
This study analyzes dated sediment cores from Nutrias Lagoon in southeastern Uruguay to establish contaminant baselines, revealing that while the site remains a low-impact reference with mercury and PAH levels generally below critical thresholds, it is not pristine due to the presence of trace PCBs and heterogeneous contamination patterns shaped by specific compound behaviors rather than a single dominant source.
This study demonstrates that deep soft sediments in the Bengal Basin significantly amplify long-period ground motions from far-field earthquakes, revealing that the current V_S30-based seismic site characterization in Bangladesh is insufficient and must incorporate engineering bedrock depth to accurately assess seismic risk.
This study in Dara District, Southern Ethiopia, reveals that home garden agroforestry systems exhibit significant variation in plant diversity, species composition, and structural attributes across agro-ecological zones, with midland gardens showing the highest diversity and a notable dominance of exotic species, underscoring the need for zone-specific management strategies to conserve indigenous flora and enhance regeneration.
This study demonstrates that the invasion of *Ulex europaeus* and the history of wildfires in Colombian páramos significantly degrade vegetation structure and diversity, leading to community reorganization dominated by the invasive species and highlighting the urgent need for early detection and control measures.
This narrative review examines how warming mangrove nurseries influence the interplay between behavioral thermoregulation and physiological adaptation in resident species, hypothesizing that habitat structure acts as a critical ecological filter determining whether organisms buffer thermal stress through behavior or face intensified selection for physiological tolerance.
This study analyzes the 2025 Altadena (Eaton) wildfire as a critical case of systemic failure in Wildland–Urban Interface evacuation, revealing deficiencies in route redundancy, communication, and accessibility that disproportionately impact vulnerable populations, and proposes the Accessible Wildfire Evacuation Model (AWEM) as an integrated framework to enhance equitable disaster resilience.
This study utilizes extensive ERA5-Land data to provide statistical evidence of a significant, seasonally variable negative correlation between the weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and rising temperatures across the Balkan Peninsula, a relationship likely mediated by large-scale atmospheric circulation and anthropogenic greenhouse forcing.
