A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Disproportionate contributions and spatiotemporal patterns of extreme rainfall and erosivity events across mainland China

International Soil and Water Conservation Research
Extreme rainfall events are increasingly influencing soil erosion across mainland China, yet their contribution to total rainfall erosivity and spatiotemporal patterns remains insufficiently quantified. Using hourly data from 2200 meteorological stations

Multiple spatial–temporal scale change patterns of rainfall erosivity in China over past 58 years based on gravity centre model

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2019
The rainfall erosivity in China have shown different change characteristics and patterns at different spatial–temporal scales. In this article, we introduced a gravity centre model for use in studying and analyzing the spatial–temporal distribution ...

Green and sustainable synthesis of magnetite from copper slag via citrate complexation for methylene blue dye removal from water

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study proposes a novel, green, and sustainable method for synthesizing magnetic iron oxides from metallurgical copper slag (CS), leveraging its iron content as a valuable resource. Iron was extracted via acid leaching using edible citric acid (ECA), forming a citrate–iron complex (CSL), which was subsequently thermally decomposed at 300°C

Risk assessment using IEUBK model for the Naica mine tailings

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Mexico has a long history of mineral extraction, during which limited environmental regulations allowed the accumulation of toxic waste near communities, primarily in rural or undeveloped areas. Some of these toxic substances, such as lead, pose significant risks to vulnerable populations, particularly children aged 0 to 7 years.

Impact of Rainfall Microstructure on Erosivity and Splash Soil Erosion Under Simulated Rainfall

, 2011
Rainfall represents the major driver of soil detachment in erosion processes. The potential of rainfall to detach soil has been defined as rainfall erosivity. The relationship between rainfall intensity and rainfall drop size distribution (DSD) controls various rainfall characteristics including the rainfall erosivity (Abd Elbasit et al., 2010).
