Acoustic monitoring for tropical insect conservation.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
Monitoring the species-specific sounds produced by insects could provide us with a rapid, reliable, non-invasive measure of tropical ecosystem health and biodiversity. Although acoustic biodiversity monitoring has made rapid progress over the past de...

Natural and anthropogenic influences on short-term forest growth status: Evidence and mechanisms from China.

Journal of environmental management
The relationship between forest growth and natural-anthropogenic drivers remains controversial, and the relative importance of these factors on short-term forest growth at large scales still unclear. This uncertainty hinders the development of effect...

Double-edged sword? Heterogeneous effects of digital technology on environmental regulation-driven green transformation.

Journal of environmental management
In the context of China's dual carbon goal, enterprises' green transformation is a key path to advancing the nation's high-quality economic development. A majority of existing studies have regarded digital technology as a homogeneous variable, and th...

Semen collection, semen analysis and artificial insemination in the kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus) to support its conservation.

PloS one
The critically endangered kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus) has suffered population declines due to habitat loss, hunting, and predation. Conservation efforts, including translocation to predator-free islands, have helped increase numbers of this flightl...

Modeling climate change impacts and predicting future vulnerability in the Mount Kenya forest ecosystem using remote sensing and machine learning.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
The Mount Kenya forest ecosystem (MKFE), a crucial biodiversity hotspot and one of Kenya's key water towers, is increasingly threatened by climate change, putting its ecological integrity and vital ecosystem services at risk. Understanding the intera...

Modeling land use and land cover dynamics of Bale Mountains National Park using Google Earth Engine and cellular automata-artificial neural network (CA-ANN) model.

PloS one
This research aimed to assess the observed land use and land cover (LULC) changes of Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) from 1993 to 2023 and its future projections for the years (2033 and 2053). The study utilized multi-date Landsat imagery from 19...

Green finance reform, multifaceted collaborative governance, and corporate greenwashing: Evidence from double/debiased machine learning method.

Journal of environmental management
In order to promote the economic structure's green transformation and identify replicable and generalizable practices in green financial development, the Chinese government has established pilot zones for green finance reform and innovation (PZGFRI) ...

Assessment of marine eutrophication: Challenges and solutions ahead.

Marine pollution bulletin
Marine eutrophication remains a pressing global environmental challenge, demanding urgent advances in science-based assessment frameworks to mitigate its ecological and socio-economic impacts. Current methodologies, however, face critical limitations...

Exploring the nexus between coastal tourism growth and eutrophication: Challenges for environmental management.

Marine pollution bulletin
Coastal tourism has witnessed rapid growth over the past two decades, often accompanied by increasing environmental concerns, particularly eutrophication in sensitive marine zones. This study explores the relationship between coastal tourism expansio...

Management of sustainable urban green spaces through machine learning-supported MCDM and GIS integration.

Environmental science and pollution research international
This study evaluates green space suitability in İzmir's Konak district using the analytic hierarchy process, machine learning, weighted linear combination, and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution methods, integrated wit...
