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...

Biocontrol potential of Halotolerant bacterial chitinase from high yielding novel Bacillus Pumilus MCB-7 autochthonous to mangrove ecosystem.

Pesticide biochemistry and physiology
The multifaceted role of chitinase in medicine, agriculture, environmental remediation and various other industries greatly demands the isolation of high yielding chitinase producing microorganisms with improved properties. The current study aimed to...

Modeling the reflection of Photosynthetically active radiation in a monodominant floodable forest in the Pantanal of Mato Grosso State using multivariate statistics and neural networks.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias
The study of radiation entrance and exit dynamics and energy consumption in a system is important for understanding the environmental processes that rule the biosphere-atmosphere interactions of all ecosystems. This study provides an analysis of the ...

Application of the removal of pollutants from textile industry wastewater in constructed wetlands using fuzzy logic.

Environmental technology
There are more than a hundred textile industries in Turkey that discharge large quantities of dye-rich wastewater, resulting in water pollution. Such effluents must be treated to meet discharge limits imposed by the Water Framework Directive in Turke...

Evidence of Water Quality Degradation in Lower Mekong Basin Revealed by Self-Organizing Map.

PloS one
To reach a better understanding of the spatial variability of water quality in the Lower Mekong Basin (LMB), the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) was used to classify 117 monitoring sites and hotspots of pollution within the basin identified according to wa...

GIS Fuzzy Expert System for the assessment of ecosystems vulnerability to fire in managing Mediterranean natural protected areas.

Journal of environmental management
A significant threat to the natural and cultural heritage of Mediterranean natural protected areas (NPAs) is related to uncontrolled fires that can cause potential damages related to the loss or a reduction of ecosystems. The assessment and mapping o...

Modeling total phosphorus removal in an aquatic environment restoring horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland based on artificial neural networks.

Environmental science and pollution research international
A horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland (HSSF-CW) was designed to improve the water quality of an artificial lake in Beijing Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, Beijing, China. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), including multilayer p...

Modeling land use and land cover changes in a vulnerable coastal region using artificial neural networks and cellular automata.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
As one of the most vulnerable coasts in the continental USA, the Lower Mississippi River Basin (LMRB) region has endured numerous hazards over the past decades. The sustainability of this region has drawn great attention from the international, natio...

Prediction of water quality index in constructed wetlands using support vector machine.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Poor water quality is a serious problem in the world which threatens human health, ecosystems, and plant/animal life. Prediction of surface water quality is a main concern in water resource and environmental systems. In this research, the support vec...

Profiling of mangrove forest dynamics in the Fly River delta, Papua New Guinea.

Marine pollution bulletin
Mangrove forests (MFs), as vital ecosystems in tropical and subtropical coastal regions, play a significant role in the global carbon cycle. However, MFs are currently facing unprecedented risks of degradation due to both natural and anthropogenic fa...
