This study utilizes twenty years of Lagrangian back-trajectories to reveal that non-tropical waters, particularly from the Southern Hemisphere, significantly contribute to equatorial Pacific Ocean heat content through predictable subduction-advection pathways, offering a potential source for decadal predictability beyond local tropical forcing.
This paper investigates the long-term sustainability of conduction-dominated geothermal systems, demonstrating that thermal recharge is a slow process spanning decades to millennia that is primarily controlled by reservoir thickness and significantly delayed by the accumulation of cold plumes from reinjection.
This study utilizes first-principles calculations to characterize the structural, dynamical, and thermodynamic properties of liquid Fe-S alloys under Earth's outer core conditions, revealing that while sulfur concentrations between 10.2 and 11.4 wt% can explain the core's density, they fail to account for its sound velocity, thereby indicating that sulfur alone cannot be the sole light element present.
This study identifies 38 native Cerradão species with high restoration potential in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, by integrating ecological traits like fire tolerance and seed dispersal with diverse socioeconomic uses such as timber, medicinal, and ornamental applications to guide effective ecological restoration.
This study demonstrates that in sugar maple forests, a drought-induced relative enrichment of potassium in foliage persists even after soil moisture recovers, suggesting that tree physiological regulation, rather than soil supply or wood composition, drives long-lasting nutrient stoichiometric legacies.
This paper synthesizes hydro-political dynamics and climate-sensitive hydrological data for the Tigris-Euphrates Basin to propose a strategic, data-driven roadmap for transboundary governance that addresses systemic institutional deficits, climate vulnerabilities, and the disproportionate burden on downstream Iraq through legal cooperation, adaptive management, and benefit-sharing mechanisms.
This study documents the southward range expansion of *Siderastrea* spp. into Ilha Grande Bay, Brazil, providing empirical evidence of ongoing tropicalization in the Southwestern Atlantic driven by significant regional sea surface temperature warming.
This global meta-analysis demonstrates that biochar consistently reduces PFAS mobility in contaminated soils by a median of 58.2%, with effectiveness strongly dependent on the PFAS molecular structure (favoring long-chain compounds) and soil total organic carbon content, while showing no robust association with biochar dose, pyrolysis temperature, or experimental system.
This study in Abuja, Nigeria, reveals that while heavy metal contamination in fuel station soils and road dust poses low ecological risk, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and BTEX compounds present significant health hazards, particularly for children via ingestion, necessitating improved environmental monitoring and emission controls.
This paper presents a provenance-aware semantic framework and evidence-aware knowledge graph that successfully preserves the contextual details, study-specific inferential limits, and full provenance chains of micro- and nanoplastic environmental-health evidence to enable more accurate cross-study synthesis and future AI-assisted analysis.
