This study reveals that while forest recovery across China has generally slowed due to drought severity and persistence, planted forests exhibit significantly higher sensitivity to these stressors and a greater decline in resilience compared to natural forests, underscoring the need for improved management strategies for planted forests under future climate extremes.
Analysis of growth oscillations in Late Paleogene and Early Neogene Caribbean foraminifera reveals periodicities corresponding to lunar cycles and atmospheric Madden–Julian oscillations, suggesting that the MJO propagated globally without significant attenuation by continental barriers during that geological period.
This study presents an integrated geo-bio-cultural framework for Indonesia's Ranah Minang Silokek Geopark, demonstrating how its unique geological heritage fundamentally underpins local biodiversity and Minangkabau cultural traditions to guide sustainable development and global geopark science.
This study assesses the geoheritage significance of Danau Rayo, Indonesia—a hypothesized impact structure—revealing strong scientific and cultural values but highlighting critical gaps in conservation and intermediate management readiness, thereby providing a foundation for future geoconservation, geotourism, and the verification of its impact origin.
This study analyzes global landslide incidents from 1988 to 2017 using the Global Landslide Catalog to reveal significant spatial concentrations and correlations between landslide characteristics and human impact, thereby establishing a foundation for future predictive modeling and risk reduction strategies.
This integrative narrative review and policy analysis demonstrates that climate change severely undermines Somalia's agricultural productivity and food security through recurrent droughts, floods, and infrastructure failures, necessitating urgent, multi-faceted investments in irrigation, resilient seed systems, early warning services, and social protection to address the crisis driven by interacting climatic, economic, and institutional pressures.
This study utilized multi-analytical techniques (EEM-PARAFAC, LC-OCD, and FT-ICR MS) to characterize the spatial heterogeneity and molecular transformation pathways of dissolved organic matter in the Huai River's Anhui section during the wet season, revealing a shift from autochthonous protein-like sources upstream to anthropogenically influenced humic-like substances downstream.
This study quantifies the depth-dependent propagation of precipitation deficits into soil moisture across China (2000–2022), revealing that while SPI-3 is the most effective meteorological predictor, precipitation indices alone fail to capture the spatially connected, persistent nature of root-zone droughts that disproportionately expose eastern croplands.
This study employs an integrated multidisciplinary approach to recharacterize the D-10/Ph-02 reservoir in the Phyl Field, offshore Niger Delta, resulting in a revised hydrocarbon volume estimate and a proposed phased redevelopment strategy to optimize recovery and extend field life.
This global synthesis reveals that excessive nitrogen inputs in diverse agricultural systems drive substantial and persistent nitrate accumulation in deep soil profiles, with the magnitude and depth of this legacy strongly modulated by land use type, precipitation patterns, and non-linear thresholds of nitrogen application.
