Strengthening urban resilience in China through underground infrastructures management: Addressing global climate challenges with technological solutions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper explores how climate‐resilient technologies, such as smart grids, digital twins, and self‐healing materials, can enhance urban resilience. It highlights the urgent need for proactive planning, public‐private collaboration, and data‐driven innovation to future‐proof underground infrastructure amid accelerating climate and urban pressures ...

Succession stages‐dependent shifts in grassland community stability from asynchrony to population stability mediated by nitrogen enrichment

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Understanding the stability dynamics of naturally occurring grassland succession under nutrient enrichment is crucial for effective ecosystem management. We carried out an 11‐year field experiment to examine how grassland community stability responds to nitrogen (N) enrichment across the three successional stages (early‐, mid‐ and late‐successional ...

Rainfall erosivity in interrill areas: Insights about the choice of an erosive factor

open access: yesCATENA, 2019
Defining a suitable erosive factor for interrill erosion has been a long-going discussion that was not resolved by experimental results.: Insights about the choice of an erosive factor. In this paper, by using computational fluid simulations of individual raindrop impacts, the relevance of four erosive factors was assessed for a range of soil ...

Soil organic matter and mineral content as crucial factors for the fate of tetracycline in soils

open access: yesEnvironmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Soil self‐cleaning ability and bioavailability of different pollutants are strongly dependent on the soil properties. It is not easy to determine effects of individual soil characteristics because they can impact together often in a synergic effect.

Interdisciplinary on-site evaluation of stone bunds to control soil erosion on cropland in Northern Ethiopia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Since two decades, stone bunds have been installed in large areas of the Tigray Highlands, Northern Ethiopia, to control soil erosion by water. Field studies were conducted to quantify the effectiveness, efficiency, side effects and acceptance of stone ...

Caught in the fire: An accidental ethnography of discomfort in researching sex work

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on fifteen years of engagement with researching Israel's sex industry, this article uses accidental ethnography to propose discomfort‐as‐method for feminist anthropology. I argue that discomfort is not a by‐product of fieldwork but a constitutive condition that disciplines researchers and shapes what can be known.

Time Scale Effects and Interactions of Rainfall Erosivity and Cover Management Factors on Vineyard Soil Loss Erosion in the Semi-Arid Area of Southern Sicily

open access: yesWater, 2019
Several authors describe the effectiveness of cover crop management practice as an important tool to prevent soil erosion, but at the same time, they stress on the high soil loss variability due to the interaction of several factors characterized by ...

Analysing the Drivers of Cropland Footprint in Leading Agricultural Nations: Evidence From MMQR Approach

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change represents the biggest current challenge for us and for future generations. Its impact on agriculture is undeniable, considering the food security goal. Thus, the cropland footprint has been distinguished as a comprehensive index for assessing the impact of environmental changes in agricultural areas determined by the increased ...
