Abstract Fish microbiome plays an important role in maintaining host homeostasis, with many bacterial functions directly linked to host fitness. Fish microbiome research is advancing fast, especially in the context of aquaculture where several stressors are known to disrupt stability of host‐associated bacteria, prompting dysbiosis. Therefore, understanding the signatures of dysbiosis in different fish mucosae and their association with such stressors is fundamental to set up efficient health…

Abstract In addressing the challenges of climate change (CC), companies face the difficult task of reconciling long‐term environmental goals and short‐term financial interests. In this paper, we argue that that effective climate governance enables companies to balance both objectives, supporting a business case for CC action. For a sample of 832 multinationals for the period 2011–2020, the findings show that effective climate governance leads to higher corporate financial performance (FP) and…

Global climate change is shifting the temperate climate zone towards higher latitudes, altering crop adaptability and potentially impacting cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivation’s climate suitability distribution. However, our understanding of these impacts is often based on one-sided suitability assessments, leading to potential biases when optimizing cotton planting spatial distribution and adaptability. In this study, we utilized a cotton cultivation spatial optimization framework, co…

Abstract Advances in impact modeling and numerical weather forecasting have allowed accurate drought monitoring and skilful forecasts that can drive decisions at the regional scale. State‐of‐the‐art drought early‐warning systems are currently based on statistical drought indicators, which do not account for dynamic regional vulnerabilities, and hence neglect the socio‐economic impact for initiating actions. The transition from conventional physical forecasts of droughts toward impact‐based fo…

Memristor-based physical reservoir computing (RC) is a robust framework for processing complex spatiotemporal data parallelly. However, conventional memristor-based reservoirs cannot capture the spatial relationship between the time-varying inputs due to the specific mapping scheme assigning one input signal to one memristor conductance. Here, a physical “graph reservoir” is introduced using a metal cell at the diagonal-crossbar array (mCBA) with dynamic self-rectifying memristors. Input and …

Microplastics are often found in the greatest quantities in terrestrial environments, in addition to those found along coasts and in oceans. They may get into water bodies from a variety of different sources such as deposition from the atmosphere, runoff from polluted land, and effluent from municipal treatment plants. The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the existing scientific literature related to microplastics in wastewater. Specifically, the focus is on…

Abstract Climate change is anticipated to have long-term effects on hydrological processes and patterns, leading to water stress in agroecological catchments. Climate change escalates water scarcity in the Usangu catchment, as evidenced by the drying up of rivers during the dry season. Therefore, this study was undertaken to assess climate change impacts on hydrology by utilizing the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model and an ensemble mean of five Global Circulation Models (GCMs) under tw…

was around 79.8 % compared to other STs and AITs. M5-MT was most prominent among AITs. Notably, the MLR technique stood out as a recommended approach due to its ability to deliver good estimation results while offering a transparent mechanism and not necessitating prior knowledge for model creation.
Coupling coordination analysis of resources, economy, and ecology in the Yellow River Basin

Matched topics: river
The development of the Yellow River Basin (YRB) has been constrained by resource utilization, ecological conservation, and economic growth. The aim of this study was to establish a theoretical framework for characterizing the relationships among resources, economy, and ecology in the YRB using panel data and remote sensing data from nine provinces in the basin from 2002 to 2022. Furthermore, a coupling coordination degree model and geographical detector model were used to evaluate the spatiot…

equivalent, and across cities, ranging from 7.1 to 4688.1 Mt. The results suggest that the core cities in the urban agglomeration can take on a leadership role. By promoting cross-sector collaboration and implementing energy recycling, the energy efficiency of surrounding cities can be greatly improved, leading to the sustainable development of the urban agglomeration.
