Chemical thinning of apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) has been practised for 50 years but it remains an unpredictable part of apple production with large variations from year to year and within years. Carbohydrate availabi...

Abstract The article presents an interdisciplinary study examining the environmental and economic implications of introducing low-carbon fuels in coastal shipping. The main focus is on the comparison of alternative energ...

In this study, we concentrate on modelling gross primary productivity using two simple approaches to simulate canopy photosynthesis: "big leaf" and "sun/shade" models. Two approaches for calibration are used: scaling up ...

Third-generation biomass constitutes a renewable energy source that could substitute fossil fuels. This study evaluated the biomethane potential (BMP) of Ulva sp., Codium sp. and Undaria pinnatifida through anaerobic dig...

In this study we combine information from landscape characteristics, demographic inference and species distribution modelling to identify environmental factors that shape the genetic distribution of the fossorial rodent ...

Land evaluation is an essential step in determining the potential use of marginal areas where agricultural productivity is limited by poor soil conditions. Coastal lands represent one of challenging environments, however...

In contexts ranging from natural disasters to technological accidents and security threats, sirens play a crucial role in alerting the population by providing a rapid and widespread warning capability. Optimizing the spa...

Ecohydrology is an emerging discipline in the environmental sciences. Soil micro-relief is of relevance to various ecohydrological processes such as rainwater redistribution, seed displacement through water runoff, water...

Products often operate in dynamic environments, and field failure data is frequently heavily censored, posing significant challenges in the assessment of product reliability. To enhance the accuracy of field reliability ...

Members of Polygala sections Clinclinia and Monninopsis, from the New World Clade (NWC), inhabit arid to humid habitats along the American continent. Although knowledge of these sections is currently incomplete, it is cr...

Abstract In recent years, financial technology (FinTech), green finance (GF), and corporate social responsibility (CSR) have emerged as pivotal drivers of environmental sustainability within financial institutions. This ...

The Blyth’s Tragopan Tragopan blythii is a medium-sized pheasant endemic to the eastern Himalaya and is classified as ‘Vulnerable’. This species thrives in dense forest ecosystems at higher altitudes. Species distr...

This is the first comparative research in which phylogeographical patterns and present and paleoclimatic distribution were investigated in desert plants that inhabit the Argentinian Monte and Chaco biogeographic province...

This study aims to examine the interplay of corporate sustainability orientation and sustainability practices, namely social and environmental dimensions and their impact on the financial performance of Small and Medium-...

The current study will deal with the problem of natural resource degradation, presenting a new, multifaceted approach to the measurement of watershed health. This idea determines the capacity of a watershed to be structu...

Abstract Microplastic pollution in freshwater is a global concern, yet field monitoring often lacks standardization, hindering data comparability and analysis. This systematic review bridges the gap between lab findings ...

Abstract Achieving sustainable economic growth in resource-dependent economies is vital to balancing competitiveness, attracting investment, and improving environmental performance. This study examines the asymmetric eff...

Plants are sophisticated and intelligent natural construction materials. They can be used for enhancing the stability of shallow soil slopes and minimizing surface erosion. It is evident that the use of plants can be low...

O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o modelo de previsão numérica do tempo BRAMS (Brazilian Regional Atmospheric Modelling System), a partir da comparação entre os valores preditos e os observados (dados do NCEP/NOAA ...

Thiamethoxam (TMX) is a systemic pesticide that safeguards both perennial and annual crops from pests but presents environmental risks. Effective pesticide regulation requires a thorough understanding of farmers’ behav...

Background: A large part of physiotherapy clinical training is situated in the workplace. Learning in an authentic environment is supported by facilitators. Objectives: This study focussed on the perceptions and unders...

The recent trends in the field of Robotics have evolved a lot irrespective of its application across any field. That too when wall climbing robots are considered, many researchers have come up with many innovative design...

Anaerobic co-digestion of livestock waste presents a viable approach for addressing environmental challenges and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in semi-urban and rural contexts. This study focuses on the development o...

Abstract Soils are the primary environmental reservoir of plant pathogens impacting food production and ecosystem productivity worldwide. Yet, some soils can also suppress pathogens through environmental and microbial re...
