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...
Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
May 5, 2025
The introduction of rare earth elements (REEs) and precious metals (PMs) containing wastes in aged landfills leads to a significant pollutant and resource potential. Against this backdrop, the accumulation of REEs and PMs in soil-like-fractions (SLF)...
Environmental management of nutrient losses from agricultural lands is required to reduce their potential impacts on the quality of groundwater and eutrophication of surface waters in agricultural landscapes. However, accurate accounting and manageme...
Global industrialization has resulted in severe contamination of soil with heavy metals (HMs). Nevertheless, it is unclear if it affects the depth-resolved bacterial communities. Herein, we collected soil samples at different depths from a typical HM...
Recent achievements in the fields of deep learning and remote sensing have led to their application in monitoring river water quality. One of the most researched methods is the estimation of total suspended solid (TSS) concentrations using multispect...
Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
May 2, 2025
Soil acidification poses escalating threats to ecosystem functions, yet its spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers across vulnerable high-altitude regions remain poorly resolved. Here, we integrate four-decade soil surveys (1980s-2020s) with machine lea...
The rising presence of nanoplastics in water poses toxicity risks and long-term ecological and health impacts. Detecting nanoplastics remains challenging due to their small size, complex chemistry, and environmental interference. Traditional filtrati...
Ground-level ozone pollution has emerged as a primary environmental challenge in China. An accurate and high-resolution analysis of ground-level ozone concentrations is crucial for effectively mitigating pollution and achieving sustainability goals. ...
This study aims to evaluate the adequacy of China's national standards for heavy metals in organic fertilizers by predicting their concentrations in grains using machine leaning. A comprehensive dataset was collected from literature, including soil p...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as "forever chemicals", are ubiquitous in surface waters and potentially threaten human health and ecosystems. Despite extensive monitoring efforts, PFAS risk in European surface waters remai...
