Cultural Tourism Weakens Seasonality: Empirical Analysis of Chinese Tourism Cities
Cultural tourism is less seasonal than nature tourism. However, previous studies have mainly compared the tourist flow of scenic spots, and it is still unclear how cultural tourism affects regional tourism seasonality.

Seasonal changes in meteorological factors [e.g., ambient temperature (Ta), humidity, and sunlight] could significantly influence a person's sleep, possibly resulting in the seasonality of sleep properties (timing and quality).

Identifying the Relationship between Seasonal Variation in Residential Load and Socioeconomic Characteristics [PDF]
Smart meter data analysis can provide insights into residential electricity consumption behaviors. Seasonal variation in consumption is not well understood but yet important to utilities for energy pricing and services. This paper aims to develop a methodology to measure seasonal variations in load patterns and identify the relationship between ...

Contrasting patterns of litterfall seasonality and seasonal changes in litter decomposability in a tropical rainforest region [PDF]
The seasonality of litter inputs in forests has important implications for understanding ecosystem processes and biogeochemical cycles. We quantified the drivers of seasonality in litterfall and leaf decomposability using plots throughout the Australian ...

The Key Factors Controlling the Seasonality of Planetary Climate [PDF]
Several different factors influence the seasonal cycle of a planet. This study uses a general circulation model and an energy balance model (EBM) to assess the parameters that govern the seasonal cycle. We define two metrics to describe the seasonal cycle, $\phi_s$, the latitudinal shift of the maximum temperature, and $\Delta T$, the maximum seasonal ...

Hydrological signatures describing the translation of climate seasonality into streamflow seasonality [PDF]
Seasonality is ubiquitous in nature, and it is closely linked to water quality, ecology, hydrological extremes, and water resources management. Hydrological signatures aim at extracting information about certain aspects of hydrological behaviour ...

In Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming, lake trout carcasses are used to suppress invasive lake trout embryos in an effort to conserve native Yellowstone cutthroat trout. Using a field experiment, we determined that carcass treatment had limited, non‐target effects on benthic invertebrates.

The restoration potential of offshore mussel farming on degraded seabed habitat
Due to the artificial structures that accumulate mussels and exclude destructive fishing practices, the seabed could be restored by the installation of mussel farming structure. After four years, there was a significantly greater abundance of mobile taxa compared to the Controls that remained open to trawling. Commercial European lobster and brown crab

Species identification in fish meal from urban fisheries biomass with DNA metabarcoding analysis
Fish species constructing fish meal (FM) made from urban fisheries biomass, which is fisheries by‐products collected downstream in the seafood supply chain were detected with a DNA metabarcoding method. 81–122 species were detected in the FM, and fish species indicated as Critically Endangered (CR) or Endangered (EN) on the International Union for ...
