Matched topics: flood, climate change
Abstract This paper examines how physical climate exposure affects firm performance and global supply chains. We document that heat at supplier locations reduces the operating income of suppliers and their customers. Further, customers respond to perceived changes in suppliers’ exposure: when suppliers’ realized exposure exceeds ex ante expectations, customers are 7% more likely to terminate supplier relationships. Consistent with experience-based learning, this effect increases with signal s…

There is increasing awareness that chemical pollution of freshwater systems with complex mixtures of chemicals from domestic sources, agriculture and industry may cause a substantial chemical footprint on water organisms, pushing aquatic ecosystems outside the safe operating space. The present study defines chemical footprints as the risk that chemicals or chemical mixtures will have adverse effects on a specific group of organisms. The aim is to characterise these chemical footprints in Euro…

While plastics are classified by size as microplastics (25 mm), research in rivers has centered on microplastics, followed by macroplastics, with limited research on mesoplastics (research gap). This study aims to clarify the concentration, shape, and polymer composition of microplastics and mesoplastics in Japanese river water. We conducted field surveys for microplastics and mesoplastics in 147 rivers and at 185 measurement stations. The novelty of this study is in the use of a large number…

Abstract Cities worldwide are expanding greenspaces, including parks, urban forests, and grasslands. However, population exposure to tree and nontree vegetation is less well understood. Here, we use multiple satellite-derived datasets on vegetation, climate, and socioeconomic factors to examine the variations of urban tree and nontree vegetation cover, drivers of changes, and the impacts on global urban population exposure between 2000 to 2020. We find that approximately 90% of cities experie…

A global survey of 179 restoration practitioners spanning 65 countries identified the extent of stakeholder engagement as a key factor determining the success or failure of restoration projects. Lack of support across sectors and for funding, policy, monitoring, governance and knowledge assessment of pressures and their effects were most frequently cited as factors contributing to restoration failure. The responses indicate that, although nutrient enrichment is perceived to be the primary iss…

Rapid urbanization is a global phenomenon that has altered many ecosystems and created ecological risks. Landscape ecological risk (LER) reflects the extent to which ecosystems are threatened by human activities and environmental change. LER can be also employed to effectively monitor and assess environmental quality. A large number of studies have been conducted to explore the LER in the basin from the perspective of Land Use and Land Cover (LUCC). Ecological environmental issues such as lan…

Monitoring rivers is vital to manage the invaluable ecosystem services they provide, and also to mitigate the risks they pose to property and life through flooding and drought. Due to the vast extent and dynamic nature of river systems, Earth Observation (EO) is one of the best ways to measure river characteristics. As a first step, EO-based river monitoring often requires extraction of accurate pixel-level water masks, but satellite images traditionally used for this purpose suffer from limi…

In recent years, with the growth of the population and the continuous expansion of agricultural land, non-point source (NPS) pollution has gradually become the primary cause of deteriorating water quality in the aquatic environment. Compared to point source pollution, NPS pollution is more diffuse, complex in its mechanisms, and challenging to pinpoint its sources. This study utilized the SWAT-Land Use Update Tool (SWAT-LUT) to dynamically update multi-year land use and land cover (LULC) data…

Abstract “Anode‐free” solid‐state battery concepts are explored extensively as they promise a higher energy density with less material consumption and simple anode processing. Here, the homogeneous and uniform electrochemical deposition of alkali metal at the interface between current collector and solid electrolyte plays the central role to form a metal anode within the first cycle. While the cathodic deposition of lithium has been studied intensively, knowledge on sodium deposition is scarc…
