Cyanobacterial Blooms and Their Implications in the Changing EnvironmentAbstract Cyanobacteria are the most ancient phytoplankton that first appeared at least 2.5 billion years ago and have a prolonged evolutionary history. They can form impenetrable and toxic blooms in aquatic ecosystems such as freshwater and marine environments. Cyanobacterial blooms produce cyanotoxins that [...] 1152 10063 |
A Case Study of How DHL Practices Carbon ManagementAbstract Awareness of the challenges of sustainable development, and in particular the risks of climate change, is leading to inevitable restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions. Companies must now adopt a systematic approach to sustainable development. This issue is particularly important as true carbon ri [...] 1834 26249 |
Relationship between Thermal Variance and Hatchery Estimates of Fertility in a Multispecies Assemblage of Anadromous Salmonids in Response to Managed FlowsAbstract Our study sought to identify a regional explanation for declining fertility in stocks of co-occurring salmonids in the upper Trinity River, northern California, USA. We focused on evaluating the relationship between thermal variance in river water and hatchery-me [...] 709 6514 |
NIR Spectroscopy and Aquaphotomics Approach to Identify Soil Characteristics as a Function of the Sampling DepthAbstract Soil is a very complex medium made of minerals, organic matter, microorganisms, air, and water. Vibrational spectroscopy techniques are exceptionally well-suited to be used with portable and hand-held devices. In this study, NIR spectroscopy was applied using portable instrumentation and [...] 889 7187 |
How Might Changing Climate Limit Cyanobacteria Growth in Shallow Prairie Lakes? An Empirical Space-For-Time Evaluation of the Potential Role of Increasing Sulfateby
Susan M. Joshi
and
Leland J. Jackson
Abstract Cyanobacteria blooms alter aquatic ecosystems and occur frequently in shallow prairie lakes, which are predicted to increase in salinity as the regional climate becomes hotter and drier. However, flat landscapes that experience depression bottom salinity with high concentrations of sulfa [...] 768 6559 |
Wind-Stress Variations from Deep to Shallow Water during Hurricanes for Air-Sea-Land Interaction Applicationsby
Shih-Ang Hsu
Abstract In September 2020 Hurricane Sally impacted two National Data Buoy Center (www.ndbc.noaa.gov) buoys near its track: 42040 in the deep water and 42012 in the sh [...] 742 8395 |
Urban Air Pollution and Emergency Department Visits for Cardiac and Respiratory DiseasesAbstract Air pollution affects various aspects of human health. Here, the associations between the number of emergency department visits for circulatory and respiratory problems and ambient air pollution in Toronto, Canada, in the period between April 2004 and December 2015 were studied. The heal [...] 690 6500 |

Abstract Moderately contaminated garden soils can benefit from gentle remediation options such as soil amendments, which improve soil functions and agronomic potentialities while decreasing environmental and human risk. This study aimed to analyze the effects of doses of various common soil amend [...] 878 8866 |
Managing the Turf of An Urban Golf Course: Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissionby
Lai Fern Ow
and
Eugenie Chan
Abstract This study investigated energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission across various playing surfaces (e.g., greens, tees, fairways, and roughs) in an urban parkland golf course. The turfs of golf courses require frequent maintenance to ensure high aesthetic and play quality. Main [...] 794 7782 |
Standardized Precipitation Index Comparison along the Limbe-Bamenda Axis of the Cameroon Gulf of GuineaAbstract Mean monthly rainfall decline with continentality is a commonplace phenomenon that has been used in this study to compare its trend in Bamenda in the Western Highlands and Limbe on the Atlantic lowland coast. This study attempts to bridge some of the methodological gaps in the previous s [...] 810 6846 |
