This study reveals that while Scots pine stands in western Belarus generally respond similarly to climate variables, those established on former agricultural lands—particularly through planting—exhibit greater climate sensitivity and lower resistance than those on former forest lands, though these differences diminish as the stands mature.
This study reconstructs Miocene sea surface temperatures on the NW Australian shelf, revealing that while reefs thrived at extreme temperatures up to 34°C under stable conditions, they ultimately collapsed around 6 Ma due to increased terrestrial input and subsidence rather than heat stress alone.
This study analyzes 60 interviews in Sub-Saharan Africa to reveal that Nature-based Solutions (NbS) function as a critical climate adaptation strategy not merely by influencing whether people migrate, but by reshaping community aspirations, capabilities, and environmental literacy through nine distinct mobility personas.
This study integrates over 70 years of hydroclimatic data with 40 years of land use records to reveal that while the Curuá-Una watershed in the eastern Amazon has experienced significant forest loss and declining rainfall, its streamflow regime has remained largely stable with increased minimum flows, offering critical insights for managing the region's first hydropower plant.
Despite significant area expansion over the past five decades, China's mangrove carbon stocks have recovered to only one-third of their 1973 levels due to a substantial multidecadal lag in biomass accumulation, highlighting the critical need to prioritize protecting mature stands over new planting.
This study highlights the emerging presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in Croatia's water systems through recent detections in the Sava River and Samobor tap water, while identifying critical regulatory and monitoring gaps regarding its environmental pathways, groundwater contamination in the Dinaric Karst, and agricultural impacts that necessitate expanded surveillance and updated risk assessments.
This study reveals that rapid glacier retreat in the European Alps is creating contested socio-ecological frontiers where emerging postglacial habitats increasingly overlap with existing infrastructure and protected areas, exposing a critical governance gap that necessitates anticipatory stewardship to manage competing interests within these newly exposed landscapes.
This study utilizes integrated aeromagnetic derivative filters and depth estimation techniques to delineate the complex subsurface structural architecture of crystalline basement terrains, thereby providing critical insights for mineral exploration, groundwater assessment, hydrocarbon prospecting, and tectonic investigations.
This study utilizes a bias-corrected CMIP6-driven VIC hydrological model and Random Forest analysis to project that the Yiluo River Basin will experience significant warming and altered precipitation patterns from 2031 to 2060, leading to a substantial decrease in annual runoff and a shift in dominant runoff drivers that vary by emission scenario.
This study demonstrates that the geographical location of Bogotá's reservoirs dictates their rainfall regimes and necessitates tailored modeling approaches, where hybrid models combining Fourier series and ARIMA effectively capture the dynamics of the bimodal Northern Aggregate reservoirs while a conventional SARIMA model suits the unimodal Chuza reservoir, thereby providing water managers with robust tools to distinguish between model limitations and extraordinary climatic events like the 2024 El Niño crisis.
