Cadmium (Cd) is a bio-essential trace metal in the ocean that can be toxic at high concentrations, significantly impacting the marine environment and phytoplankton growth. Its distribution pattern is closely proportional to that of phosphate (PO), al...
Monitoring underwater vegetation is vital for evaluating lake ecosystem health. Automated data collection and analysis play key roles in achieving large-scale, high-precision, and high-frequency monitoring. While technologies such as unmanned vessels...
Accurate and cost-effective prediction of aboveground biomass (AGB), belowground biomass (BGB), and the total (ABGB) at stand-level within tropical forests is crucial for effective forest ecological management and the provision of forest ecosystem se...
Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are widely used as flame retardants and plasticizers in daily commodities and building materials. Some OPEs, acting as agonists of the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), may contribute to the development of thy...
Microalgal biochar has potential applications in various fields; however, there is limited research on the properties and risks of microalgal biochar-derived dissolved organic matter (MBDOM). This study examined how different pyrolysis temperatures (...
This study addresses the critical public health issue of fecal coliform contamination in the four major rivers in South Korea (Han, Nakdong, Geum, and Yeongsan rivers) by applying advanced machine learning (ML) algorithms combined with Explainable Ar...
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study was conducted on 313 pesticides to predict their acute toxicity to Sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) by using DRAGON descriptors. Essentials accounting for a reliable model were all ...
The biogeochemical cycling of sulfur (S) in paddy soil influences cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) migration. However, the impact of S application on Cd and As within the soil-rice system has not been fully explored. This study aimed to examine the effe...
PM bound mercury (PBM) in the atmosphere is a major component of total mercury, which is a pollutant of global concern and a potent neurotoxicant when converted to methylmercury. Despite its importance, comprehensive macroanalyses of PBM on large sca...
Micro/nano plastics (M/NPs) and antibiotics, as widely coexisting pollutants in environment, pose serious threats to soil ecosystem. The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the ecological effects of the co-exposure of M/NPs and antib...
