Changes of Technosol properties and vegetation structure along a chronosequence of dredged sediment deposition in areas with alluvial gold mining in Colombia
(Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2020-03-14)Purpose: Alluvial gold mining leaves a vast amount of dredged sediment that covers the natural soil, destroys riparian ecosystems, and impacts riverbeds and valleys. In Colombia, more than 80,000 ha are covered ... -
Characterization of Late Cretaceous to Miocene source rocks in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea: An integrated numerical approach of stratigraphic forward modelling and petroleum system modelling
(Basin Research, 2020)Stratigraphic forward modelling was used to simulate the deposition of Upper Cretaceous, Eocene and Oligo-Miocene source rocks in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and, thus, obtain a process-based 3D prediction of the quantity ... -
Chronic and Acute Effects of Imidacloprid on a Simulated BEEHAVE Honeybee Colony
(Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2022-08-17)Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are important pollinators for wild plants as well as for crops, but honeybee performance is threatened by several stressors including varroa mites, gaps in foraging supply, and pesticides. The ... -
Classification of buried soils, cultural, and colluvial deposits in the Viking town Hedeby
(Geoarchaeology, 2019)Objective classification of settlement deposits is a prerequisite for understanding human-environment interactions at habitation sites. This paper presents a novel approach combining a relatively fine-scale sampling strategy, ... -
Climate change adaptation strategies, productivity and sustainable food security in southern Mali
(Climatic Change, 2020-03-19)Many people in African countries derive their livelihoods from agriculture. Therefore, unfavourable environmental and climatic conditions render them more vulnerable to increasing food insecurity and poverty rates. However, ... -
Climate Change Can Accelerate Depletion of Montane Grassland C Stocks
(Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2021-10-08)Climate warming and management will likely affect carbon (C) fluxes of montane grassland ecosystems. In this study, we assessed the effect of simultaneous warming (+2°C) and decreased precipitation (−25%) on carbon exchange ... -
Climate change impacts on potential maize yields in Gambella Region, Ethiopia
(Regional Environmental Change, 2021-05-25)Changing climate conditions are supposed to have particularly strong impacts on agricultural production in the tropics with strong implications on food security. Ethiopia’s economy is profoundly dominated by agriculture, ... -
Climate change vulnerability, water resources and social implications in North Africa
(Regional Environmental Change, 2020-06-30)North Africa is considered a climate change hot spot. Existing studies either focus on the physical aspects of climate change or discuss the social ones. The present article aims to address this divide by assessing and ... -
Climate Change, Pollution, Deforestation, and Mental Health: Research Trends, Gaps, and Ethical Considerations
(GeoHealth, 2022-11-01)Climate change, pollution, and deforestation have a negative impact on global mental health. There is an environmental justice dimension to this challenge as wealthy people and high‐income countries are major contributors ... -
Climate Impact Comparison of Electric and Gas‐Powered End‐User Appliances
(Earth's Future, 2023-02-01)Natural gas is considered a bridging technology in the energy transition because it produces fewer carbon emissions than coal, for example. However, when leaks exist, methane is released into the atmosphere, leading to a ... -
Clumsy solutions and climate change: A retrospective
(Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, 2022-10-27)In 1989, Steve Rayner chided fellow anthropologists for “fiddling while the world warms.” This was the starting point of a decades‐long application to human‐made climate change of the cultural theory that he had developed ... -
Combined impact of land cover, precipitation, and catchment area on discharge and phosphorus in the Mississippi basin's subcatchments
(Journal of Environmental Quality, 2021-01-05)Phosphorus (P) supplies (concentrations and fluxes) are essential drivers for biological activities in rivers and should be controlled to prevent eutrophication that usually results from urbanization and agricultural ... -
Comparing response of buff-tailed bumblebees and red mason bees to application of a thiacloprid-prochloraz mixture under semi-field conditions
(Ecotoxicology, 2020-05-15)Recent studies have reported interspecific differences in how bee species respond to various stressors. Evaluating the exposure and responses of different bee species to plant protection products is considered an essential ... -
Comparison of Denitrification Induced by Various Organic Substances—Reaction Rates, Microbiology, and Temperature Effect
(Water Resources Research, 2021-11-18)Widespread groundwater pollution with nitrate (NO3−) and the finite and decreasing geogenic NO3− degradation capacity in aquifers require a better understanding of potential treatment methods. This project aimed at exploring ... -
Conjugation of artificial humic acids with inorganic soil matter to restore land for improved conservation of water and nutrients
(Land Degradation & Development, 2019)Artificial soil (AS) with a dark–brown appearance and high soil organic matter (SOM) was manufactured under hydrothermal conditions from poor sandy landfill using the 'hydrothermal humification process.' This approach may ... -
Consequences of land-use change and the wildfire disaster of 2017 for the central Chilean biodiversity hotspot
(Regional Environmental Change, 2021-03-25)Central Chile is an important biodiversity hotspot in Latin America. Biodiversity hotspots are characterised by a high number of endemic species cooccurring with a high level of anthropogenic pressure. In central Chile, ... -
Converting forests into rubber plantations weakened the soil CH4 sink in tropical uplands
(Land Degradation & Development, 2019)Large-scale conversion of natural forest to rubber plantations has taken place for decades in Southeast Asia, help to make it a deforestation hot spot. Besides negative changes in biodiversity, ecosystem water, and carbon ... -
Corporate carbon performance data: Quo vadis?
(Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2020)Corporate carbon performance (CCP) has become a central topic in political, financial, and academic domains. At the same time, several characteristics of CCP data, including comparability and consistency, remain unresolved. ... -
Cost–benefit analysis of flood-zoning policies: A review of current practice
(Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 2019)One commonly proposed method to limit flood risk is land-use or zoning policies which regulates construction in high-risk areas, in order to reduce economic exposure and its vulnerability to flood events. Although such ... -
