Impact assessment of the farming–breeding–bioenergy integrated system on agricultural greenhouse gases in Northeast China

ABSTRACT: In this study, we constructed an integrated framework of a farming–breeding–bioenergy system to estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventories of various farming and breeding processes in the northeast region of China from...

Zonation of macrofauna across sandy beaches and surf zones along the Dutch coast

On nine beaches and two transects in the surf zone along the Dutch coast the presence of benthic macrofauna was studied in relation to basic abiotic characteristics. According to Short's classification system, Dutch beaches are mesotidal an...

The Impact of Residents’ Daily Internet Activities on the Spatial Distribution of Online Fraud: An Analysis Based on Mobile Phone Application Usage

In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the number of online fraud cases. However, research on crime geography has paid little attention to online crimes, especially to the influencing factors behind their spatial distributions....

Movement behaviors and their association with depressive symptoms in Brazilian adolescents: A cross-sectional study

Background: Physical activity, sleep, and sedentary behaviors compose 24-h movement behaviors and have been independently associated with depressive symptoms. However, it is not clear whether it is the movement behavior itself or other cont...

First Report of Ciguatoxins in Two Starfish Species: Ophidiaster ophidianus and Marthasterias glacialis

Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is a syndrome caused by the ingestion of fish contaminated with Ciguatoxins (CTXs). These phycotoxins are produced mainly by dinoflagellates that belong to the genus Gambierdiscus that are transformed in more...

Characterizing Photosymbiosis Between Fraginae Bivalves and Symbiodinium Using Phylogenetics and Stable Isotopes

Photosymbiotic associations between heterotrophic hosts and photosynthetic algae play crucial roles in maintaining the trophic and structural integrity of coral reef ecosystems. The marine bivalve subfamily Fraginae contains both non-symbio...

Ecological correlates of extinction risk and persistence of direct-developing stream-dwelling frogs in Mesoamerica

Understanding the threats to wildlife across space and time is essential for developing effective conservation strategies. In Mesoamerica (i.e., the region that extends from Central Mexico to the most southern point in Panama) at least 40% ...

Filling the Gap of Meteorological Data Along the Prut River Valley, Romania - Cârja Experimental Weather Station (2013-2020)

The study presents the results of the measurement realized at a meteorological weather station installed in Cârja village, situated in the valley of Prut river in the south-eastern tip of Vaslui county, Romania. The observations cover the i...

Biomass burning fuel consumption rates: a field measurement database

Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the fraction of the biomass that is actually combusted, and can be com...

Exposure, hazard, and vulnerability and their contribution to Schistosoma haematobium re-infection in northern Senegal

Background: The risk of infectious diseases, including snail-borne schistosomiasis, is determined by three inter-related components: exposure, hazard, and vulnerability. For schistosomiasis, exposure occurs through behaviours involving wate...

A single-column ocean biogeochemistry model (GOTM–TOPAZ) version 1.0

Recently, Earth system models (ESMs) have begun to consider the marine ecosystem to reduce errors in climate simulations. However, many models are unable to fully represent the ocean-biology-induced climate feedback, which is due in part to...

Nitrifying niche in estuaries is expanded by the plastisphere

Abstract The estuarine plastisphere, a novel ecological habitat in the Anthropocene, has garnered global concerns. Recent geochemical evidence has pointed out its potential role in influencing nitrogen biogeochemistry. However, the biogeoch...

Nestedness of benthic diatom metacommunity in relation to species niche width and environmental variables in a large near-natural catchment

Insight into the non-random distribution patterns of species in different regions is a foundational aim of research in community ecology and biogeography. The nestedness pattern, which investigates changes in species composition and abundan...

Inclusiveness, Equity, Consistency, and Flexibility as Guiding Criteria for Enabling Transdisciplinary Collaboration: Lessons From a European Project on Nature-Based Solutions and Urban Innovation

The structural research programmes of the European Union dedicated to advance the sustainability sciences are increasingly permeated by the notion of transdisciplinarity (TD). A growing body of literature residing at the intersection of res...
