Using continuous monitoring data from Italian colonies, this study reveals that high-frequency climate volatility and air pollution negatively impact honeybee production, with effects varying by colony productivity and migratory management practices.
This study utilized vertical electrical sounding to characterize the subsurface geoelectric layers and aquifer properties in Okuokoko, Southern Nigeria, revealing favorable groundwater potential in most locations while highlighting a generally weak natural protective capacity against surface contaminants.
This study analyzes 29 mortality events involving 135 Irrawaddy dolphins in Bangladesh between 2000 and 2024, revealing accelerating death rates driven primarily by bycatch near fishing ports and identifying specific coastal hotspots to guide targeted conservation strategies.
The paper presents MinID-X, an offline Android application that utilizes a compressed 196 MB SQLite database and a fuzzy-matching algorithm to enable rapid, accurate mineral identification directly on mobile devices without internet access, achieving 100% retrieval of primary phases in field validation.
This study evaluates the Gilgel Abay River Basin in Ethiopia using 42 years of hydrological data and the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration model, revealing a significant shift toward low-flow conditions and the cessation of major flood events since the mid-1990s, which has led to substantial ecological degradation and underscores the urgent need for sustainable flow management.
This GIS-based study analyzes Census data from 2001 and 2011 to reveal significant spatial disparities in safe drinking water access across Uttarakhand, highlighting improved conditions in urban and lowland areas while identifying persistent challenges in hill districts to guide context-sensitive, climate-resilient water policies.
By integrating field surveys and historical records with ensemble species distribution modeling, this study reveals that the narrow endemic *Arctium pallidivirens* in Central Asia has undergone severe historical range contraction, with its current distribution confined to a small fraction of its potential habitat within climatically buffered refugia.
This systematic review demonstrates that mineralogical composition is a fundamental control on geophysical responses in groundwater exploration, necessitating multidisciplinary interpretation frameworks to mitigate uncertainty caused by subsurface heterogeneity.
This study presents a data-driven multi-horizon forecasting pipeline for the Jucar River Basin that successfully generates monthly predictions of aquifer levels, reservoir storage, and river discharge up to 48 months ahead by separating endogenous memory from exogenous climate and demand drivers, demonstrating high skill for groundwater and reservoirs while identifying systematic bias as the primary limitation for long-range river forecasts under various future scenarios.
Using high-resolution satellite data from 2014 to 2023, this study reveals an 86% surge in wetland extent across the Sahel and East Africa driven by recent climatic shifts, a transformation that has permanently altered regional flood baselines and poses urgent socio-ecological challenges to major cities, refugee camps, and agricultural systems.
