There has been a significant growth in e-waste worldwide and in European countries the growth rate of e-waste entering the market is higher than the growth rate of recycled waste. This is confirmed by comparing the compound annual growth rate figures of 6.85% and 5.7% respectively. The methods of analysis used in this article were Pearson correlati...

The ongoing modification of precipitation regime highlights the necessity to further investigate underlying vegetation processes. To figure out the key precipitation characteristics that largely affected the biomass and species richness of different plant functional groups in the semiarid sandy land, we compared the 15-year (from 2005 to 2019) vari...

The attainment of a regionally balanced carbon budget is fundamental for the realization of carbon neutrality. This study involved the quantification of the carbon budget related to land use across Southeast China from 2005 to 2020, which was achieved through the calculation of both carbon emissions and carbon sinks. Subsequently, we scrutinized th...

While many freshwater lakes have witnessed a rapid increase in surface water temperatures, the trends in subsurface water temperatures are not well-understood. This study explored the long-term subsurface water temperature change and its connection to climate change and human activities in Seneca Lake. Utilizing linear regression and the Theil-Sen ...

Water transit time is the duration between the entry and exit of a parcel of water across a hydrologic system. It is a fundamental characteristic that links hydrologic transport, biogeochemical processing, and water quality, and it has broad implications for resource vulnerability and sustainability. Physically based models can accurately describe ...

Research has demonstrated that members of the public recognize anomalous weather patterns, and that subjective perceptions of the weather are related to beliefs about the occurrence of climate change. Yet despite two decades of scholarship and dozens of studies, inconsistent and insufficient data have made it difficult to credibly identify the caus...

Great Salt Lake in Utah, USA, has receded in recent years. Among many options proposed to augment inflows is a pipeline from the Pacific Ocean. We estimate a lower bound for the ongoing energy requirements, assuming one-third of the recommended additional inflow will be pumped through a single, smooth, large-diameter pipeline along a fictitious, sh...

Establishing exclosures has become common rehabilitation and restoration of degraded lands in Ethiopia. This study examined the effects of exclosure on identified soil physical and chemical properties, and woody diversity at the Wamole sub-watershed. Representative soil samples were taken from the open grazing land and eight-year-old exclosure. Six...

Water scarcity has become the most significant limiting factor for sustainable economic and social development in the Yellow River Basin (YRB). Despite this, most current studies on water resources in the YRB from a water footprint (WF) perspective have focused on WF measurements and have explored the influencing factors of WF changes in certain in...
