Modeling regional mean sea level based on climate measurements using a stacked ensemble approach.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Assessing changes in mean sea level (MSL) has become increasingly critical due to the significance of climate changes. Soft computing techniques are now widely used to reduce the time and cost associated with traditional MSL estimation methods. Histo...

Precision breeding in a changing climate: unlocking resilience through omics and gene editing.

Functional & integrative genomics
Climate change, rising global food demand, and shrinking resources require transformative innovations in crop breeding. This review outlines recent advances in new breeding technologies (NBTs), including molecular markers, genome-wide association stu...

Climate and traits drive bark decomposition patterns at global scale.

Nature communications
Tree bark represents a large global carbon stock, comprising 2-20 % of woody biomass, and plays a distinct role in carbon and nutrient cycling. It is poorly understood how different abiotic and biotic drivers contribute to bark decomposition globally...

The impact of climate change on the invasiveness of Ageratum conyzoides (goat weed) in India: implications for biodiversity conservation.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Climate change and biological invasions are major drivers of global biodiversity loss. Ageratum conyzoides L. is a highly aggressive invader, yet its ecological risks and potential range dynamics in India remain insufficiently quantified. To assess i...

Quantifying key drivers of atmospheric methane across Pakistan using a machine learning approach.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Atmospheric methane (CH), a potent greenhouse gas, has shown a consistent rise since the Industrial Revolution, contributing significantly to global warming and climate change. Understanding the temporal and spatial variability of methane concentrati...

Stage-Specific Drivers of Carbon-Sequestration Dynamics in Mariculture and Responses to Global Warming.

Environmental science & technology
Seaweed mariculture represents a promising blue-carbon strategy, but its carbon-sequestration dynamics and resilience to warming remain insufficiently constrained. Here, we conducted a comprehensive field assessment at a representative (nori) maricu...

Dual niche modeling with GEE and SHAP for predicting habitat shifts of Haloxylon ammodendron and Cistanche deserticola under climate change.

PloS one
Haloxylon ammodendron, a keystone woody species, and its parasitic plant, Cistanche deserticola, play critical roles in sustaining arid ecosystems and supporting regional economies. However, their distribution is increasingly threatened by global cli...

Declining Predictions of Net Ecosystem Production in US Rivers and Streams Throughout the 21st Century.

Environmental science & technology
Metabolism is an essential component of carbon cycling in river ecosystems, and understanding its response to climate change on a broad scale is imperative. Here we employ deep-learning models trained on an extensive data set to reconstruct daily met...

Quantifying the contributions of climate change and adaptation to mortality from unprecedented extreme heat events.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Understanding the mortality effects of the most extreme heat events is central to climate change risk analysis and adaptation decision-making. Accurate representation of these impacts requires accounting for the effects of prolonged sequences of hot ...

Lessons from : a confucian-inspired approach to global bioethics.

Journal of medical ethics
This paper asks how bioethics navigates, and should navigate, value pluralism in the increasingly global spaces in which bioethics operates. We juxtapose the ethical approaches suggested by East Asian societies, drawing primarily on Confucian ethics,...
