An expert system model for mapping tropical wetlands and peatlands reveals South America as the largest contributor.

Global change biology
Wetlands are important providers of ecosystem services and key regulators of climate change. They positively contribute to global warming through their greenhouse gas emissions, and negatively through the accumulation of organic material in histosols...

The Knowledge Base for Achieving the Sustainable Development Goal Targets on Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene.

International journal of environmental research and public health
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...

A Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning with WorldView-2 Pan-Sharpened Imagery for Tea Crop Mapping.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

A Decision Support System Coupling Fuzzy Logic and Probabilistic Graphical Approaches for the Agri-Food Industry: Prediction of Grape Berry Maturity.

PloS one
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...

Quantifying role of source variations on PM-bound toxic components under climate change: Measurement at multiple sites during 2018-2022 in a Chinese megacity.

Journal of hazardous materials
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,...

Total nitrogen levels as a key constraint on soil organic carbon stocks across Australian agricultural soils.

Environmental research
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...

Spatiotemporal variations and driving mechanisms of carbon storage in Central Asia: Insights from the PLUS-InVEST models and machine learning.

Journal of environmental management
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 ...

Analysis of the influence of climate change on wetland evolution and its driving process from an integrated perspective of landscape connectivity and fragmentation.

Journal of environmental management
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...

Data-Driven Estimates of High-Resolution Soil HONO Emissions in China from 2000 to 2020.

Environmental science & technology
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...

Climate change and health: the next challenge of ethical AI.

The Lancet. Global health
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, ...
