Safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) are fundamental to an improved standard of living. Globally, 91% of households used improved drinking water sources in 2015, while for improved sanitation it is 68%. Wealth disparities are stark, wi...
Tea is an important but vulnerable economic crop in East Asia, highly impacted by climate change. This study attempts to interpret tea land use/land cover (LULC) using very high resolution WorldView-2 imagery of central Taiwan with both pixel and obj...
Agri-food is one of the most important sectors of the industry and a major contributor to the global warming potential in Europe. Sustainability issues pose a huge challenge for this sector. In this context, a big issue is to be able to predict the m...
Understanding the response of PM-bound toxic components to source variations under climate change is crucial for public health protection. However, the lack of long-term and multi-site observational data of toxic components limits such efforts. Here,...
Understanding how pedoclimatic drivers regulate soil organic carbon (SOC) stock is crucial for gaining insights into terrestrial carbon-climate feedback and thus adaptation to climate change. However, current data-driven SOC predictive models often n...
Against the backdrop of global climate change and rapid socioeconomic advancement, significant land use/cover changes(LUCC) in Central Asia have profoundly impacted terrestrial ecosystem carbon storage(CS). However, the assessment and spatiotemporal ...
The evolution of wetland ecosystems from the perspectives of landscape connectivity and fragmentation is a critical interdisciplinary topic in contemporary wetland science and landscape ecology. In the context of global warming, the mechanisms by whi...
Soil nitrous acid (HONO) emissions influence air quality by affecting atmospheric oxidizing capacity and secondary pollutant formation. However, estimating soil HONO emissions remains uncertain due to complex factors and limited data. Here, we presen...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the world's most resource-intensive digital technologies, but the environmental impact of AI on health remains largely unaddressed in both global health and bioethics. Effects on the environment have, thus far, ...
