Implications of river intrusion and convective mixing on the spatial and temporal variability of under-ice CO2
Ice-covered periods might significantly contribute to lake emissions at ice-melt, yet a comprehensive understanding of under-ice carbon dioxide (CO2) dynamics is still lacking. This study investigated the processes driving spatiotemporal patterns of under-ice CO2 in large Lake Onego. In March 2015 and 2016, under-ice CO2, dissolved inorganic carbon...
Assessment of occupant-behavior-based indoor air quality and its impacts on human exposure risk: A case study based on t...
© 2019 Elsevier B.V. The recent wildfires in California, U.S., have caused not only significant losses to human life and property, but also serious environmental and health issues. Ambient air pollution from combustion during the fires could increase indoor exposure risks to toxic gases and particles, further exacerbating respiratory conditions. Th...
Would personal carbon trading enhance individual adopting intention of battery electric vehicles more effectively than a...
© 2019 Elsevier B.V. The implementation of carbon tax (CT) and personal carbon trading (PCT) to transport choices has recently been considered as an approach to draw individual attention to reduce carbon emissions. Since PCT can provide multi motivations, its effectiveness in changing individual adopting decision of battery electric vehicles (BEVs)...

© 2019 The Authors Entomopathogenic fungi routinely kill their hosts before releasing infectious spores, but a few species keep insects alive while sporulating, which enhances dispersal. Transcriptomics- and metabolomics-based studies of entomopathogens with post-mortem dissemination from their parasitized hosts have unraveled infection processes a...
Return flows from beaver ponds enhance floodplain-to-river metals exchange in alluvial mountain catchments.
River to floodplain hydrologic connectivity is strongly enhanced by beaver- (Castor canadensis) engineered channel water diversions. The hydroecological impacts are wide ranging and generally positive, however, the hydrogeochemical characteristics of beaver-induced flowpaths have not been thoroughly examined. Using a suite of complementary ground- ...
Assessing resilience to underpin implementation of Land Degradation Neutrality: A case study in the rangelands of wester...
© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Land degradation through loss of ground cover, wind erosion and woody scrub encroachment affects rangelands globally, threatening the resilience of communities and ecosystems. Climate change is anticipated to exacerbate land degradation in the rangelands, through increased incidence of drought. In the semi-arid rangelands of Aus...

Sustainable groundwater management: How long and what will it take?
© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Groundwater depletion is arguably one of humanity's greatest sustainability challenges of the 21st century. With Sustainable Development Goals only a decade away, water authorities around the world are in the urgent need for concrete and targeted measures to ensure that communities adhere to groundwater management policies as ra...
Industrial sustainability performance measurement systems: A novel framework
© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Improved sustainability of industrial activities and measurement of its performance are becoming prime topics of discussion among policy-makers and industrial decision-makers. The current literature proposes a number of performance measurement systems and related indicators, but mainly lacks a real capability to address all sust...
