This study demonstrates that subaerial arc volcanism in the Neuquén Basin drove the recovery of marine primary productivity following the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event by intensifying chemical weathering to supply phosphorus, which triggered nitrogen fixation and alleviated nutrient limitations.
This study demonstrates that integrating lineament-density mapping from remote sensing and aeromagnetic data with Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) effectively identifies fracture-enhanced groundwater potential and validates structural favorability models in the Precambrian basement complex of southwestern Nigeria, offering a reliable strategy for siting boreholes in areas previously plagued by low yields.
This study integrates GIS-derived environmental context with laboratory geochemical and FTIR analyses to characterize trace-element partitioning and organic functional-group signatures among aquatic plants and sediments in Iraq's Al-Chibayish Marshes, revealing distinct retention patterns across biotic and abiotic compartments.
This study develops an explainable stacked ensemble machine learning framework combining SVM, Random Forest, and XGBoost to map Rare Earth Element prospectivity in Kenya's Ruri Carbonatite Complex, achieving 95.6% accuracy and identifying key geological and geochemical predictors through SHAP analysis.
This study introduces a spatially explicit Ecological Vulnerability Index to reveal that deep-sea ecological vulnerability is highly concentrated along mid-ocean ridges and is currently misaligned with seabed governance, as conservation areas are significantly underrepresented in high-risk zones compared to extraction contracts.
This study reveals that as red mangroves (*Rhizophora mangle*) encroach into Florida's freshwater wetlands, their leaf trait variations and resulting ecosystem services are primarily driven by soil phosphorus availability, water depth, and hydroperiod rather than by water salinity.
This study demonstrates that seasonal cycles, rather than monthly stability anomalies, primarily govern the vertical aerosol regimes over Central Asia, with dust transport heights varying significantly between transport and stagnation months and source regions identified as the Aral–Caspian and Karakum–Kyzylkum sectors.
This study introduces the concept of Post-Lease Operational Risk Territories (PORTs) and proposes an Adaptive Operational Risk Governance (AORG) framework to address the disconnect between fixed legal quarry boundaries and the extended spatial influence of blasting safety, using the Yongwa Limestone Quarry in Ghana as a case study to advocate for governance models that integrate engineering risk data with land administration and spatial planning.
This study evaluates the spatiotemporal evolution and subsystem coordination of rural environmental sustainability across 31 Chinese provinces from 2006 to 2023 by integrating the "Three Rural Issues" with the Pressure–State–Response framework, revealing marked overall improvements alongside persistent regional imbalances and a shift toward a "bottleneck" stage in system coordination that necessitates differentiated policy strategies.
This study reveals that microcystin concentrations in Yanghe Reservoir peaked in summer and exceeded WHO safety limits, with dissolved toxin levels preceding intracellular maxima and correlating positively with phosphorus and chlorophyll-a, thereby highlighting severe public health risks and the need for targeted nutrient control and enhanced monitoring.
