Climatic thresholds and temporal decoupling drive reproductive phenology in Neotropical cloud forests: a 36‐year analysis

Ecography, EarlyView.
Reproductive phenology influences ecosystem functioning and climate sensitivity in tropical montane cloud forests, but phase‑specific climatic thresholds and the temporal coupling between flowering and fruiting remain poorly quantified over decadal scales. We analyzed a 36‑year monthly record (1983–2018) from a Venezuelan cloud forest (15 focal species)

Toward a Paradigm Shift in Low‐Temperature SCR Catalyst Design: Defect Engineering and Data‐Driven Integration

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work systematically reviews the key factors influencing the performance of low‐temperature NH3‐SCR. The mechanism and challenges of defect engineering strategies, such as oxygen vacancies, heteroatom doping, crystal facet exposure, and surface reconstruction, in controlling both activity and selectivity were analyzed.

Climate‐related exposures and seizures in children: A systematic review

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Climate‐related exposures, including air pollution, temperature extremes, humidity, and atmospheric conditions, are increasingly recognized as potential seizure triggers. As climate change intensifies, understanding the environmental contributors to pediatric seizure risk has important implications for anticipatory guidance and ...

Satellite Rainfall Products and Their Reliability in the Blue Nile Basin

, 2014
In the Upper Blue Nile (UBN) basin, there is very sparse and uneven distribution of ground-based meteorological stations which constrain assessments on rainfall distributions and representation. To assess the diurnal cycle of rainfall across the UBN basin, satellite observations from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) were used in this study ...

Beyond Prediction: Data, Baselines, Explanation, and Causation in Machine Learning for Food Insecurity

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
The gains from machine learning in nowcasting and forecasting food insecurity are still small and limited and cannot be observed in all countries. This review summarizes the public resources for data, corrects common misconceptions about model requirements, and establishes baseline requirements, explanations, causal inference, and equity in operational
