Velocity Analysis of a Flow Passing over a Vegetated Slope [PDF]
A sheet flow or overland flow is simulated by the theory of laminar flow passing over a grassed slope with wood. The flow region is divided into two layers (vegetation layer & soil layer) or three layers (wood layer, vegetation layer & soil layer ...

Fire occurrence increased with proximity to roads and villages, indicating that human access and activity are major drivers of fire risk. We analyzed spatial patterns of fire in relation to human settlements. Our findings highlight the need for fire management strategies that consider accessibility and human presence in conservation planning.

China's Eco‐Civilisation, Climate Leviathan, and Hobbesian Energy Transition
Abstract Scholars have hitherto tended to theorise China's ecological civilisation project either as a form of environmental authoritarianism or as a vision of eco‐socialism. This paper contributes to the conversation by conducting a textual analysis of Chinese scholarly discussions on eco‐civilisation.

Threats posed by land use to water quality in South Africa's strategic water source areas
Abstract Understanding the negative impacts of land use/land cover (LULC) on water quality is key to developing effective integrated catchment management strategies. However, in line with the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) philosophy, this necessitates the generation and application of useful scientific knowledge, which stakeholders and ...
