Overview of factors influencing consumer engagement with plastic recycling
WIREs Energy and Environment, Volume 12, Issue 6, November/December 2023., 2023 Factors influencing consumer behavior in plastic waste recycling. Abstract Many semi‐durable and durable consumer goods are composed of plastic. Yet, plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues as it harms oceans and marine biodiversity. This state of affairs is worsened because plastic recycling rates remain low.

Tropical Easterly Waves Over Costa Rica and Their Relationship to the Diurnal Cycle of Rainfall
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 20, 28 October 2023., 2023 Abstract Using an index of tropical easterly wave (TEW) activity derived from spacetime‐filtered outgoing longwave radiation, we construct composites of long‐term hourly surface meteorological observations and morningtime sounding data collected near San José, Costa Rica to investigate how TEWs affect the diurnal cycle of rainfall over land.

Hydrological Processes, Volume 37, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 A new conceptual tracer‐aided ecohydrology model STARRtropics was successfully adapted to simulate daily water, tracer, and storage dynamics in a large‐scale tropical catchment driven by isotope‐enabled regional climate model output. The simulated catchment was dominated by precipitation and topography with more dynamic water and tracer responses in ...

Courts as an arena for socioenvironmental change: Lessons from the Argentine courts
European Law Journal, Volume 29, Issue 3-6, Page 294-311, May-November 2023., 2023 Abstract Trends in the Argentine courts indicate a judicial preference towards flexibility in light of possibly serious environmental consequences, particularly in relation to mining. Through a liberal interpretation of constitutional provisions where collective environmental rights are threatened, the courts have expanded access to justice, leading ...

Ibis, Volume 165, Issue 2, Page 587-601, April 2023., 2023 Mining is present in all major biomes worldwide and overlaps strongly with areas of importance for bird conservation. Mining causes multiple types of environmental disturbance, including habitat alteration, increased human presence and persistent heavy metal pollution. Feather coloration and fluctuating asymmetry (random deviation from perfect symmetry

Determination of biosorption mechanism in biomass of agave, using spectroscopic and microscopic techniques for the purification of contaminated water [PDF]
, 2019 [Abstract] Lead (Pb2+) and copper (Cu2+) are polluting metals due to their toxicity; however, the extraction of these metals is essential for economic development, so it is important to look for efficient and low-cost alternatives that can remove heavy ...

Host-plant sex and phenology of Buddleja cordata Kunth interact to influence arthropod communities. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe present the results of an empirical study that evaluates the effect of plant sex on its associated arthropod communities. Our results indicate that plant sex has a seasonal and alternating effect on the arthropod community diversity—male plants hosting a more diverse community of arthropods during the flowering season, while female plants do during ...
