Predictive Ecosystem Health Assessment Under Land‐Use and Vegetation Dynamics in a Semi‐Arid Rift Valley Basin, Ethiopia

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation driven by rapid land‐use and climate‐driven vegetation dynamics increasingly threatens ecosystem stability in semi‐arid wetland basins, yet predictive ecosystem health assessments remain limited in Sub‐Saharan Africa. This study evaluates historical dynamics and future trajectories of ecosystem health in the Ziway‐Shalla Sub ...

Analysis Physical Characteristics of Land for Estimated Runoff Coefficient as Flood Control Effort in Comal Watershed, Central Java

Forum Geografi, 2016
Watershed conditions in Indonesia have been degraded over time, which is marked by increasing area of critical land. The vast area of critical land was evidenced to be a serious threat for watershed carrying capacity which eventually affected the ...

Blind Estimation Versus Direct Measurement of the Arterial Input Function in Dynamic Contrast‐Enhanced MRI of the Breast

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Purpose Accurate arterial input functions (AIFs) are essential for quantitative dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) MRI, yet direct measurement is challenging and population‐averaged AIFs neglect patient‐specific variability. Blind deconvolution provides an alternative by estimating patient‐specific AIFs directly from tissue data, up to a scale factor ...

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

When Fat Goes Astray: Your Liver and Pancreas Get Into Trouble

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) are both common manifestations of ectopic fat accumulation. Although they share multiple risk factors, they also show notable differences in pathological features, standardization of diagnosis, and research maturity.

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

A new method to identify and explain sources of precipitation modification, illustrated for the western Netherlands

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study develops a method to identify the source areas of precipitation events, as illustrated for the western part of the Netherlands. Radar‐based precipitation data are traced back to their source areas and machine‐learning techniques are used to identify hypothesized causes: urban heat, surface roughness, and air pollution. We find that urban and

Propagation of internal gravity waves: Optimal vertical discretisation and grid design based on numerical error analysis

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
An energy‐conserving discrete framework for the vertical discretisation of stratified ocean models is developed using internal gravity‐wave theory. A β$$ \beta $$‐indexed family of schemes is analysed through perturbation theory, revealing optimal parameter choices and grid designs that reduce truncation errors significantly.

Experimental Study on Fine Sediment Infiltration (FSI) Processes in Different Gravel Mixtures

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fine sediment infiltration (FSI) can lead to riverbed clogging, thereby degrading important habitats for aquatic biota in the hyporheic interstitial zone of gravel‐bed rivers (e.g., by reducing oxygen availability). This stress on rivers may increase from anthropogenic influences and can be counteracted by artificial gravel augmentation to ...
