A Zonal‐Meridional Projection Method for Quantifying Global Land‐Ocean Moisture Transport

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We present a physically consistent and computationally efficient method to quantify global coastal moisture transport by projecting vertically integrated moisture flux onto signed land–ocean boundary segments. The signed projection naturally distinguishes ocean‐to‐land inflow and land‐to‐ocean outflow without explicit directional classification ...

Contrasting Heatwave Regimes in Dry and Humid Subtropical Mexico: A Station‐Based Probabilistic Assessment

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heatwaves have intensified under a warming climate, producing substantial environmental and societal impacts. This study characterizes heatwave regimes in two contrasting regions of Mexico using a percentile‐based threshold and a Poisson distribution framework.

Characterization of the morphometric diversity and ecogeographic population structure of local Algerian and Mauritanian goats

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux
Background: Morphometric traits, defined as quantitative and qualitative measures of animal form and structure, are key indicators of goats’ adaptation to ecosystems. They also shed light on the interaction between genetics and the environment.

Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Synoptic Patterns of Dry‐Hot Winds (Sukhoviys) in Ukraine

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study analyses dry‐hot winds, or sukhoviys, a recurrent phenomenon during the warm season across Ukraine that contributes to rapid moisture loss from soil and vegetation. The activity of sukhoviy events was assessed using the introduced Sukhoviy Station Index, accounting for their meteorological characteristics and frequency of occurrence.

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

The Relationship Between Human Activities and Ecosystem Service Supply–Demand From the Perspective of Land Use Transformation

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The equilibrium between ecosystem service supply and demand relationships (ESSDR) is essential for regional sustainable development. Understanding the relationship between human activity intensity (HAI) and ESSDR from the perspective of land use transformation (LT) is important for ecological management and governance.

From Salt‐Affected Marginal Land Resource to Remediation Agent: Halophyte‐Derived Biochar for Ameliorating Cd‐Contaminated Acidic Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) contamination of acidic soils poses a significant threat to ecosystem stability and crop health. This study evaluated the potential of biochar derived from the halophyte Salicornia europaea (SBC), a salt‐tolerant plant that grows on saline‐alkali marginal land, to remediate Cd‐contaminated acidic soil.

The Unfolding Desert: Observed Structural Drying and Projected Aridity Risks in a Brazilian Family Farming Citizenship Territory

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aridification in Semiarid regions is a recurring theme in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and has been documented in Northeastern Brazil. This study analyzes the spatiotemporal dynamics of aridification in the Lower São Francisco River “Citizenship Territory” (Sergipe and Alagoas) at a fine spatial resolution (~1 km ...

Detecting Loosening of Bolt‐Flanged Pipe Using Smoothed Pseudo Wigner–Ville Distribution: Digital Twin‐Based Approach Using Convolution Neural Networks

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, an integrated digital twin‐based fault‐diagnosis framework is proposed to detect bolt loosening in flanged pipe connections. The approach combines finite element‐based numerical modeling, experimental modal analysis, and advanced signal processing‐assisted deep learning to achieve reliable loosening detection under operational ...
