Modeling Soil Erosion Susceptibility Using Machine Learning Techniques: Rud‐e‐Faryab Basin, Iran

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion poses a significant threat to water and soil resources, affecting agricultural productivity, infrastructure, and environmental stability. This study models erosion susceptibility in the Rud‐e‐Faryab basin (Bushehr province, Iran) using the BIOMOD‐2 package in R (an ensemble of 10 machine learning algorithms) applied to 10 ...

Evaluation of Sediment Connectivity Indices to Improve the Prediction of the Spatiotemporal Variability of Sediment Yield for a Large River Basin (Wei River, China)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sediment connectivity between source areas and the main streams or local sinks is a complex and dynamic process, especially in large basins due to multiple heterogeneities and interactions between connectivity components. Sediment connectivity indices are promising tools to investigate sediment transport, especially in data‐scarce or large ...

Oreocharis caotierui, a new species of Gesneriaceae from southern Hunan, China

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Oreocharis caotierui, a new species, is described and illustrated from southern Hunan, China. It is similar to O. argyreia and O. xiangguiensis, but differs from the latter two in the following features: the corolla tube is significantly widened above the middle; the stamens are divided into two groups, one on each sides of the pistil and the lower two

Populism and policy capacity: Evidence from an opposition municipality in Istanbul

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite achievements in its conceptual rigor, policy capacity still represents a relatively depoliticized concept that fails to sufficiently consider the ways in which politics plays a role in its creation, mobilization, or decay. This article seeks to contribute to this debate by investigating the impact of populism on policy capacity, the ...

A biodegradable polylactic acid–polybutylene adipate terephthalate–starch polymer blend for geotextile applications

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Biodegradable polymer blends are environmentally friendly materials with the ability to tailor material properties according to requirements. Abstract Geotextiles are typically used to stabilize steep earthen structures to prevent landslides. Usually, such geotextiles are made from petrol‐based polymers (such as polypropylene), but the use of ...
