Abstract Fluid balance in the early stages of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) significantly impacts patient outcomes. This study aimed to identify the optimal fluid balance value affecting adverse outcomes in SAP patient...

Abstract Human settlements are increasingly being impacted by urban fires initiated by wildfires. Metrics such as area burned and number of structures destroyed are important, but research often overlooks the socio-ecolo...

Forest fragmentation poses a critical threat to ecosystem service functionality, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. This study investigates the spatio-temporal dynamics of forest fragmentation and its impacts on...

In recent decades, drug crop eradication and drug trafficking interdiction have pushed drug crop cultivation into new areas of the Amazonian rain forest. The presence of the drug industries in these regions—followed by...

Abstract Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations enhance greenhouse warming and drive changes to plant physiology, leading to innumerable climate impacts. This study explores the impacts of plant responses on hydrological ...

Abstract Background Agroforestry, the intentional integration of trees or other woody perennials with crops or livestock in production systems, is being widely promoted as a conservation and development tool to help meet...

In 2023, Canada experienced its most severe wildfire season on record, burning over 7.8 million hectares and releasing unprecedented carbon emissions surpassing the country’s previous record by several fold. These fire...

IntroductionClimate change is increasing the co-occurrence of heat, drought, and soil salinization in Mediterranean agroecosystems, yet their interactive effects on crop physiology remain poorly understood. We investigat...

Modelling is one way of helping policymakers assess the impacts of different drivers on biodiversity and ecosystems, as well as the feedbacks on drivers generated by those impacts (from Chapter 3). Modelling provides too...

Agriculture in Iran operates under acute water scarcity, climate stress, and reliance on input-intensive practices that amplify environmental pressures. This study presents the first long-term, spatially explicit life cy...

Abstract Climate interventions like Marine Cloud Brightening have gained attention for their potential to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems from the worst impacts of climate change. Early modeling studies raised conce...

This Campbell systematic review examines the effects of input subsidies on agricultural productivity, beneficiary incomes and welfare, consumer welfare and wider economic growth. The review summarizes evidence from 15 ex...

This study investigates the health impacts of transitioning from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, on vaccination coverage, infant and under-5 mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in low and middle-income coun...

Some urbanization impacts on biodiversity are often underestimated such as noise pollution generated by anthropogenic activities. Birds inhabiting urban and peri-urban areas suffer anthropogenic noise that impact their c...

Mercury (Hg) is a contaminant of global concern, and an accurate understanding of its atmospheric fate is needed to assess its risks to humans and ecosystem health. Atmospheric oxidation of Hg is key to the deposition of...

Decelerating climate change requires a shift away from conventional production practices across industries, including agriculture, to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Agricultural sustainabil...

The Covid-19 pandemic and mitigation measures had widespread societal impacts. Young children are particularly vulnerable yet the ways the pandemic affected children in informal settlements (slums) are not well described...

In Argentina, there is an important potential to utilize organic waste to generate bioenergy. This work analyzes the environmental impacts and the energetic and economic requirements of the biogas produced by digesting t...

Floods are among the most disastrous environmental hazards, causing devastating tangible and intangible impacts. The psychological impact, which can be classified as intangible damage, is a crucial part of well-being ass...

The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is the main mode of variability in the Southern Hemisphere extra-tropical circulation and it is so called because of its zonally symmetric ring-like shape. However, the SAM pattern actuall...

Abstract Marine heatwaves, and other extreme climatic events, are driving mass mortality of habitat‐forming species and substantial ecological change worldwide. However, habitat fragmentation is rarely considered despi...

Growing evidence is showing important health impacts of sleep disruption. Sleep restriction is becoming increasingly common in today’s 24/7 society. Evidence from epidemiological studies suggest that reduced sleep dura...

Over the past two decades, despite significant fluctuations in China's soybean planting area, high-resolution assessments quantifying the spatially heterogeneous and nonlinear impacts of compounding economic, climatic, a...
