This study validates that the modified normalized Mann–Whitney method provides an accurate and reliable approximation of pore-radius-derived fractal dimensions for characterizing Permo-Triassic Khuff carbonate reservoirs in Saudi Arabia, demonstrating near-perfect agreement with the established normalized pore-radius method.
This preprint establishes the first satellite-derived baseline for Egypt's newly designated Great Reef Protectorate by integrating Sentinel-2 mapping, a 41-year thermal stress reconstruction, and anthropogenic pressure assessments to characterize the reef's extent, record unprecedented 2024 heat stress, and confirm its oligotrophic conditions.
This paper analyzes the severe ecological harm caused by blade barbed wire fences to wildlife, using the 2026 Mount Tai incident as a case study, and proposes multifaceted countermeasures to balance safety management with biodiversity conservation.
This study demonstrates that Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) with optimized parameters effectively identify distinct spatiotemporal patterns in Brazil's natural disaster data, revealing that precipitation variability and administrative indicators are key drivers for regional clustering and offering valuable insights for climate risk management and adaptive policy planning.
This study demonstrates that the Modified Normalized Friedmann Method is a highly reliable alternative to the conventional normalized pore-radius approach for characterizing pore-structure fractal behavior in Khuff carbonate reservoirs, as evidenced by an almost perfect linear correlation between the two methods.
This study of 383 wheat farmers in Golestan Province, Iran, reveals that belief in climate change, perception of local warming, and access to national advisory hotlines are the primary drivers of climate information use, outweighing socioeconomic factors and highlighting the need for enhanced extension communication and risk awareness strategies.
By mapping the 3-D electrical resistivity structure beneath the Kii Peninsula, this study reveals that impermeable acidic plutons act as barriers to fluid migration from the subducting Philippine Sea slab, thereby controlling the accumulation of slab-derived fluids that trigger deep low-frequency earthquakes and guiding fluid flow that influences microseismicity.
This study evaluates flood risk in Kulgam, Kashmir Himalaya, by integrating physical and socio-economic indicators to identify highly vulnerable villages and proposes targeted mitigation strategies addressing both environmental and community-level factors to enhance resilience.
This study develops a site-quality-dependent methodology to estimate the Potential Carbon Storage Capacity of European *Pinus sylvestris* forests, providing a standardized baseline for national greenhouse gas inventories and policy frameworks to evaluate carbon stock losses, gains, and mitigation benefits across diverse ecological zones.
This study demonstrates that in Mediterranean landscapes, fire history primarily dictates fuel loads and associated hazard levels, while cultural dry-stone walls significantly mitigate wildfire spread by disrupting fire connectivity, offering a novel framework for integrating micro-topographic features into wildfire management strategies.
