. Long existing feedbacks between the forest and environmental conditions are being replaced by novel feedbacks that modify ecosystem resilience, increasing the risk of critical transition. Here we analyse existing evidence for five major drivers of water stress on Amazonian forests, as well as potential critical thresholds of those drivers that, if crossed, could trigger local, regional or even biome-wide forest collapse. By combining spatial information on various disturbances, we estimate …

Coupling of power-to-gas processes with underground gas storage could effectively allow surplus electricity to be stored for later use. Depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs could be used as stores, but practical experience of hydrogen storage in such sites is limited. Here we present data from a field trial that stored 119,353 m^3 of hydrogen admixed to natural gas in a depleted hydrocarbon reservoir. After 285 days, hydrogen recovery was 84.3%, indicating the process’s technical feasibility. Addi…

Climate change and habitat loss present serious threats to nature. Yet, due to a lack of historical land-use data, the potential for land-use change and baseline land-use conditions to interact with a changing climate to affect biodiversity remains largely unknown. Here, we use historical land use, climate data and species observation data to investigate the patterns and causes of biodiversity change in Great Britain. We show that anthropogenic climate change and land conversion have broadly …

Abstract In recent years, the Southern Ocean has experienced extremely low sea ice cover in multiple summers. These low events were preceded by a multidecadal positive trend that culminated in record high ice coverage in 2014. This abrupt transition has led some authors to suggest that Antarctic sea ice has undergone a regime shift. In this study we analyze the satellite sea ice record and atmospheric reanalyses to assess the evidence for such a shift. We find that the standard deviation of t…

From a commercial viewpoint, mine methane is the most promising object in the field of reducing emissions of climate-active gases due to circular waste management. Therefore, the task of this research is to estimate the technogenic reservoirs resources of mine methane when implementing the circular waste management concept. The novelty of the authors’ approach lies in reconstructing the response space for the dynamics of methane release from the front and cross projections: CH4 = ƒ(S; t) and …

Abstract This study delves into the exploration of a novel Multi-objective Snow Ablation Optimizer (MOSAO) algorithm, tailored for addressing expansive Optimal Power Flow (OPF) challenges inherent in intricate power systems. These systems are often complemented with the integration of renewable energy modalities and the state-of-the-art Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS). Building upon the foundational framework of a previously documented single-objective Snow Ablation Optimizer, we hav…
Spatial and Temporal Water Pattern Change Detection through the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) for Initial Flood Assessment: A Case Study of Kuala Lumpur 1990 and 2021

Surface water pattern changes in terms of quantity and directions is caused by many hydrological hazards such as flooding. Rapid urbanization in Kuala Lumpur has destroyed urban forest trees as the most valuable urban green infrastructure (UGI). Then surface, vegetation changes and land transformation, concrete roads, covered roofs, and climate changes impacts changed the water pattern and hydrological system in Kuala Lumpur. Satellite data used to collect data from 1990 and 2021 to show how …

). Non-target screening showed a more complex picture. Another 25 transformation products (TPs) of N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N’-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6-PPD) and 44 TPs and derivatives related to DPG were detected in solution, of which 11 and 28 were still present after or formed by biodegradation, respectively. Of these 39 TPs and derivatives, 31 could be detected in road runoff samples. This study provides a more comprehensive picture of the leachables of tire particles that are of environm…

Journal: Ecological Informatics · DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoinf.2024.102519 · Citations: 45
Matched topics: river
The extraction of ecological corridors is influenced by the accuracy of ecological source area identification, which is a crucial component of ecological security construction. The ecological source areas of the Weihe River Basin (WRB) were comprehensively identified by analyzing the supply, demand, and ecological sensitivity of ecosystem services. Different initial populations were set using a genetic algorithm to determine the optimal source areas for the WRB. The minimum cumulative resista…
