This study analyzes heat stress vulnerability across Saudi Arabia from 1985 to 2024 using data from 26 stations, revealing that the southwestern coastal region of Jazan is the most vulnerable area with the highest frequency of extreme heat stress days, while hilly regions like Abha and Khamis Mushait remain largely unaffected, alongside a nationwide significant upward trend in discomfort days.
This study proposes an integrated GIS and statistical modelling framework utilizing Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis to generate a Surface Risk Index that effectively zonation open-cast mining areas into risk categories based on factors like slope, vegetation, and proximity to settlements, thereby supporting sustainable mine safety and environmental management.
This study analyzes climatic trends and local perceptions in the Central Karakoram to conclude that the Barpu glacier remains stable or exhibits low melting rates due to the "Karakoram anomaly," characterized by decreasing temperatures and increasing precipitation and humidity, which contrasts with the global trend of glacier retreat.
This study demonstrates that nutrient and water stress decouple the extent and intensity of root-driven destabilization of mineral-associated organic matter, revealing that while reduced root growth limits total carbon loss, individual roots become significantly more efficient at destabilizing soil carbon under stress conditions.
This paper reviews afforestation and reforestation projects across 37 countries to argue that while justice is currently underrepresented in research and market-based implementations often yield unjust outcomes for non-human entities, robust institutional mechanisms tailored to local socio-ecological contexts are essential to ensure just results for marginalized communities and nature.
This study utilizes multi-temporal satellite imagery and classification analysis to reveal that urban encroachment at Ghana's Sakumono Ramsar Site accelerated dramatically between 2015 and 2026, with built-up areas expanding from 0.04% to nearly 50% of the site, primarily by converting bare and degraded land.
This study comprehensively evaluates six C3S seasonal forecast models over China (2022–2024), revealing that ECMWF SEAS5 outperforms others in predicting wind and solar resources while highlighting significant spatial, seasonal, and elevation-dependent biases that necessitate model-specific adjustments for effective renewable energy management.
This study reveals that hydrological gradients drive significant spatial heterogeneity in iron-bound organic carbon across a plateau wetland-grassland-forest continuum, with wetlands acting as accumulation hotspots regulated primarily by soil water content and lateral carbon inputs from adjacent grasslands.
This study demonstrates that moderate doses of aged leaf biomass optimize PAH bioremediation by preserving microbial physiological integrity rather than simply increasing biomass, a mechanism revealed through the integration of kinetic modeling, imaging flow cytometry, and machine learning.
This study utilizes a 71-year Promax-rotated PCA of validated ERA5 data to reveal that December–February precipitation variability in North Kalimantan is governed by a hierarchical forcing architecture where nearly half the variance stems from autonomous local mechanisms, such as Sulawesi Sea warming and orographic triggering, which operate independently of global teleconnections and exhibit distinct decadal regime shifts and non-linear evolutionary trajectories compared to ENSO-driven patterns.
