This paper proposes an integrated research framework combining GIS-based spatial analysis, resource accounting, and Contingent Valuation Method econometrics to assess the ecological footprints of major West Bengal temples and evaluate visitors' willingness to pay for sustainable environmental governance.
A cross-sectional study in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, reveals that *Aedes aegypti* infestation and larval density are driven by the interplay of rainfall patterns and human practices, with specific container types like terracotta jars, barrels, and tires serving as the primary production sites despite seasonal variations.
This study identifies thirty geomorphosites in the Purulia District of India and evaluates their geoheritage potential using the M-GAM model, revealing that eleven sites, particularly Gorgaburu Hill, possess the highest scientific, aesthetic, and touristic values, thereby highlighting the region's significant yet underdeveloped geotourism prospects.
This paper assesses the unique surface and subsurface geomorphological heritage of Jabal Al Qarah in Saudi Arabia, highlighting its diverse erosional and karst features as strong evidence for its candidacy as a world-class geomorphological site.
This study demonstrates that recycled broken brick aggregate, particularly at a 900 mm bed depth, serves as a chemically stable and low-cost filter media for effectively treating laundry greywater to meet irrigation standards in resource-constrained settings, outperforming crushed concrete by avoiding the leaching of calcium and elevating pH, EC, and TDS levels.
This study establishes the first scientific baseline for the banana jellyfish fishery in the northern Oman Sea by analyzing seasonal catch data and employing a superior ensemble model of GAM, RF, and NN to demonstrate that CPUE is significantly driven by physicochemical parameters, particularly temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen, thereby highlighting the need for specialized stock assessment frameworks to ensure sustainable management.
This study demonstrates that high-resolution temperature records from two caves in Western Iberia reveal significant subterranean warming driven by regional climate change, though the magnitude and timing of this warming differ from surface trends due to cave-specific factors like thermal buffering, ventilation, and hydrology.
By integrating variable phytoplankton stoichiometry into an Earth system model, this study demonstrates that eco-physiological adjustments in nutrient ratios, particularly by N2-fixers, create a stabilizing feedback that enforces nitrogen limitation and renders global primary production largely insensitive to phosphorus and iron perturbations.
This study evaluates Incheon's post-incident drinking water monitoring network and finds that while high-frequency sensors successfully detected network-wide disturbances before consumer complaints peaked, their strategic placement was misaligned with local problem areas, covering only 16% of the complaint burden compared to a potential 89% if stations had been sited based on historical complaint data.
This study reveals that microplastics accumulate and translocate within subsistence-harvested eastern Chukchi Sea beluga whales, showing the highest concentrations in mesenteric lymph nodes, increasing levels in muscle with age, and a predominance of polyethylene terephthalate, while finding no correlation with trophic position or carbon source.
