Energy Poverty and Climate Shocks: Are Changing Weather Patterns Leaving South Africa in the Dark?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Energy and climate change are deeply interlinked, with the latter exerting significant influence on energy demand and supply. In regions such as South Africa, where socio‐economic vulnerability is high, understanding how climate change affects energy poverty is essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 7 ...

Examining the Role of Economic Complexity and Climate Readiness in the Climate‐Fishing Nexus

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the climate‐fisheries association in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations from 1999 to 2022. A key objective is to explore the role of both the economic complexity index (ECI) and the climate readiness factor (READ) in the climate‐fishing nexus.

Nitrogen Policy for Sustainable Agriculture in the US: Estimating Socially Optimal Application Rates and Economic Impacts

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen (N) application creates negative externalities via nitrate (NO3−) leaching that threatens human health and the emission of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas. This study determines socially optimal nitrogen application rates (SONR) for corn and wheat by considering the social costs of both pollutants. The assessment includes

Mechanical, rheological, and durability performances of GGBS‐based concrete for potential application to prestressed structures

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Ground granulated blast‐furnace slag (GGBS) is a widely used clinker substitute in concrete, recognized for its potential to significantly reduce environmental impacts. However, its application in prestressed concrete remains limited in several countries, mainly due to concerns regarding early‐age mechanical performance and long‐term ...

Antimicrobial Residues in a Key Cerrado River: Distribution, Persistence, and Effects on Zebrafish Embryo‐Larval Development

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The current study aimed to quantify the antimicrobials amoxicillin (AMX), cefazolin (CFZ), chloramphenicol (CHL), metronidazole (MTZ), and sulfamethoxazole (SX) in effluents and surface water of an important Cerrado river, calculate their half‐lives, and analyze their ecotoxicity following single and combined exposures.

Monitoring GPS‐collared moose by ground versus drone approaches: efficiency and disturbance effects

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Efficient wildlife management requires precise monitoring methods, for example to estimate population density, reproductive success, and survival. Here, we compared the efficiency of drone (equipped with a RGB camera) and ground approaches to detect and observe GPS‐collared female moose Alces alces and their calves. We also quantified how drone (n = 42)

‘Using anuran community diversity and Pseudacris crucifer to predict landscape quality across a land use gradient'

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...
