Representativity of CO2 Exchange on Extensive Green Roofs: Scaling From Leaf to Plant, and Plant to Roof Scale

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Urban green roofs have potential for local urban climate change mitigation, as they have been demonstrated to uptake carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. However, most roofs are too small to qualify for area‐integrating direct surface‐atmosphere exchange measurements using the eddy covariance technique (EC), resulting in sparse data on ...

Investigating the EKC and LCC Hypotheses for BRICS Countries: The Role of Economic Complexity in Environmental Degradation

Natural Resources Forum, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 1087-1103, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The number of studies in literature examining the relationship between economic complexity and environment continues to increase. In those studies, either environmental degradation is represented by a limited indicator, or a traditional empirical method is preferred.

Analysis of Smoke Transport Over the Northeast US Caused by Wildfires in Canada During June 2023—Leveraging the HRRR‐Smoke Model Predictions and Remote Sensing Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The intensification of wildland fires across portions of Canada in early June 2023 led to significant smoke transport into the eastern United States, resulting in poor air quality and reduced visibility. Significant degradation of air quality was evident from PM2.5 surface measurements as the smoke plume moved southwards, which was confirmed ...

STUDY OF PROGRESSIVE CHANGES IN BACTERIOLOGICAL CONSTITUENT OF HARVESTED RAINWATER FROM OYOKO COMMUNITY IN KUMASI, GHANA

Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering, 2017
The bacteriological characteristics of rainwater harvested from a typical rooftop were progressively studied for a period of nine (9) months. The study area, Oyoko, is a rural community considered as a typical farming area and located about 30 km from

Ecohydrologic Processes Modify Urban Rainfall Intensification in Land‐Atmosphere Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Ecohydrologic processes influence urban water and energy cycles including convective rainfall. Coupled land‐atmosphere models, however, lack fine‐scale representation of urban ecohydrology processes. This study integrates these processes into ensemble land‐atmosphere simulations to assess changes in convective rainfall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The Effect of Nature-Based Solutions on Human Nutrition and Food Security in Urban Settings

Proceedings
Increased land use as a result of urbanization is one of the most rapid human-driven causes of biodiversity loss. Urbanization negatively affects human health because of poor nutrition, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and health problems related to air ...
