This study demonstrates that mature ectohydric moss mats on temperate forest stream banks significantly reduce topsoil moisture by intercepting precipitation and increasing evaporative losses, thereby establishing bryophytes as a distinct plant functional type that shapes soil water dynamics across ecoregions.
This study reveals that while China's protected forests currently provide significant long-term carbon sequestration benefits compared to unprotected areas, these additional gains are projected to decline sharply by 2060 due to age-related saturation as the forest stands mature.
This study utilizes a global constellation of geostationary satellites to identify and characterize the Atlantic–Far East Asia (AFEA) Rossby–gravity waveguide, a transcontinental atmospheric corridor that facilitates hemispheric-scale energy propagation and long-range connections between tropical and extratropical regions.
This study utilizes Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and GIS techniques to generate an accurate land cover map of Anambra State, Nigeria, achieving an overall accuracy of 88% to support sustainable urban planning and environmental conservation.
SimCast-S2S is a novel latent-diffusion framework that leverages transfer learning from climate simulations to efficiently generate probabilistic subseasonal precipitation forecasts, outperforming deep learning baselines and competing with state-of-the-art operational systems while operating in a compact latent space.
Using a quasi-experimental design across 11 sub-Saharan African countries, this study finds that providing mothers with access to free primary education significantly reduces the risk of child wasting caused by climate-related disasters, suggesting that education reforms can serve as a vital strategy for enhancing climate resilience.
This study utilizes macro-micro experimental techniques to demonstrate that dry-wet cycles, particularly under water saturation, exponentially degrade coal's mechanical properties by altering pore connectivity and inducing mineral dissolution, thereby offering critical insights for preventing dynamic mining disasters.
This study utilizes multi-regional input-output modeling to analyze the spatiotemporal characteristics and driving mechanisms of embodied carbon emissions in China's municipal construction industry, revealing that gross fixed capital formation and resident consumption are primary drivers while emissions intensity and input-output structure serve as key factors for emission increases and reductions, respectively.
This study analyzes 1970–2019 data to reveal significant regional variations in extreme rainfall frequency and intensity across Indian states, demonstrating a clear link between these events and human fatalities, particularly in river-basin-dominated and densely populated regions like West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra, thereby highlighting the urgent need for climate-resilient adaptation and improved disaster management.
This study evaluates groundwater recharge potential in Banda Aceh-Indrapuri, Indonesia, by integrating GIS, remote sensing, and magnetotelluric data to demonstrate a strong negative correlation between recharge indices and subsurface resistivity, thereby establishing a robust framework for regional water management in complex tropical settings.
