Haloxylon salicornicum is a keystone shrub of the Indian arid zone, valued for dune stabilization, fodder, and ecosystem restoration, yet its climatic resilience remains poorly understood. This study assessed the ecological thresholds, current habita...
As anthropogenic climate change threatens to destabilize global societies and ecosystems, anticipating likely human responses becomes ever more urgent. A key global initiative is the promotion of peaceful relations. Nonetheless, studies that systemat...
Fine particulate matter (PM) from wildfire smoke has emerged as a significant environmental health threat in the United States (U.S.), yet the combined roles of climate extremes and land cover in shaping wildfire smoke PM exposure remain poorly under...
Using advanced machine learning methods along with geospatial data and climate estimates, this study found areas in Bangladesh that are likely to experience coastal erosion. Twenty important factors were looked at, such as meteorological, geographica...
Increasing water scarcity and climate variability have intensified the need for precise agricultural irrigation management. Accurate estimation of crop coefficients (Kc) is critical for determining crop water requirements, especially in arid and semi...
BACKGROUND: Lyme disease (LD) is a major public health concern in North America. The incidence of LD has increased in part due to the rapid expansion of Ixodes scapularis infected with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bb), the causative agent of LD. ...
Air pollution, driven by seasonal and meteorological variations, poses a significant threat to public health and urban sustainability. Despite numerous forecasting approaches, the influence of seasonal patterns on air pollutant levels remains underex...
The review highlights the intricate relationship between genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate floral development and responses in citrus under diverse climatic conditions. Citrus, the world's top traded and third most produced fruit crop, h...
Lakes across the globe are experiencing growing ecological pressure from climate change and human activities. In prairie regions, these pressures often result in shifts in phytoplankton abundance, a key indicator of water quality. Yet identifying the...
