This study investigates the impact of chlorpyrifos contamination on the physicochemical properties of agricultural soils in Ilorin, Nigeria, revealing significant site-specific variations in pH and water holding capacity while highlighting the region's sandy, low-fertility soil conditions and the need for integrated remediation strategies.
This study develops a high-resolution integrated framework applied to Gothenburg to demonstrate that while urban climate action significantly improves resource efficiency, it risks exacerbating energy affordability inequalities unless socioeconomic and demographic heterogeneity are explicitly accounted for in policy planning.
This study utilized ICP-OES analysis and statistical modeling to determine that heavy metals, particularly cadmium, lead, and nickel, in the River Osun ecosystem within Nigeria's Ilesha gold belt pose significant ecological and human health risks due to mining activities, necessitating urgent regulatory intervention.
This study utilizes an integrated ANN–Markov modeling approach within a GIS framework to analyze and project land use changes in Malatya, Turkey, following the 2023 earthquakes, revealing a significant shift from agricultural and pasture lands to expanding built-up areas driven primarily by distance from the city center.
This study utilizes high-frequency monitoring data and R/S fractal analysis to demonstrate that the Maowei Sea, a semi-enclosed bay in China, functions as a high-disturbance, low-inertia system with anti-persistent memory characteristics for key water quality indicators, challenging the assumption of long-term trend stability in monsoon-influenced estuarine environments.
This study analyzes historical temperature trends (1992–2022) and projects future warming under CMIP6 scenarios for North Shewa, Ethiopia, revealing significant increases in both minimum and maximum temperatures that threaten agricultural productivity through heat stress and crop zone contraction, while highlighting the need for targeted adaptation strategies.
This systematic review of 75 studies demonstrates that flood events in the River Niger Basin create cascading Water–Food–Energy security risks across hydropower dams and downstream sectors, arguing that effective adaptation requires shifting from single-sector engineering approaches to integrated, transboundary nexus management frameworks.
This study reveals that fossil fuel combustion in U.S. buildings, particularly residential natural gas use, causes approximately 14,000 premature deaths annually—roughly three times higher than previously estimated—highlighting the critical public health benefits of reducing building-sector emissions.
This study utilized Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle validation to characterize the year-round spatio-temporal dynamics of algal blooms along the Mazatlán coast from 2016 to 2024, demonstrating the effectiveness of remote sensing for developing early warning systems to mitigate socio-economic and public health risks.
This study demonstrates that a machine learning method utilizing global mean temperature and sea surface temperature variability can outperform dynamical models in predicting record-breaking summer heat events 5 to 10 years in advance, revealing that such predictability has already emerged in high-warming and teleconnection-influenced regions and is projected to become skillfully achievable across most land areas within the next 10 to 30 years under current warming trends.
