Exponentially‐constrained Gaussian mixture model for quantifying vertical development of water‐conducting fracture zones in lithologically stratified mining roofs

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes an exponentially‐constrained Gaussian mixture model (EcGMM) to quantify vertical fracture heterogeneity in stratified roof strata. The model integrates a piecewise exponential decay term capturing global stress dissipation with Gaussian components representing localized fracture intensification at lithological interfaces.

Continental scale metagenomics reveals Microcystis‐induced synchrony among aquatic taxa is exacerbated by trophic cascades

Ecography, EarlyView.
Harmful Microcystis proliferation severely threatens aquatic ecosystems globally, but its impacts on food‐web stability remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 1309 metagenomic samples from freshwater ecosystems across China to investigate how Microcystis abundance affects synchrony among taxa in multi‐trophic food webs (from bacteriophages to ...

Heat-wave effects on greenhouse gas emissions from shallow lake mesocosms

, 2017
Shallow lakes are a key component of the global carbon cycle. It is, therefore, important to know how shallow lake ecosystems will respond to the current climate change. Global warming affects not only average temperatures, but also the frequency of heat

Towards Transformative Climate Governance: Capacities and Constraints for Local Government in Aotearoa New Zealand

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An emerging consensus calls for transformative climate governance. However, what instigates and sustains transformative pathways remains unclear. This study characterises the existence, quality and structural underpinnings of transformative governance capacities in local government climate change response in Aotearoa New Zealand, applying a ...

Extraction, Dynamics, and Driving Factors of Shallow Water Area in Hongze Lake Based on Landsat Imagery

Remote Sensing
The dynamics of shallow water areas of inland lakes is closely related to the regional ecology and economy. However, it is still a challenge to extract the natural shallow water area for inland lakes using satellite images due to their rapid changes and ...

Notable Impact of Paleotectonic Stress on Gold Mineralisation in the West Qinling Orogen

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
By applying fuzzy clustering and multiple inverse methods, we systematically processed the data of vein and fault slip in this ore deposit to reveal the transition of orogenic geological environment and paleotectonic stress field. Our research results show two different stress states: the northwest–southeast extensional stress field and the northeast ...

Estimating the reference nutrient levels of the shallow lakes in east China using a combination with several non-parametric methods

Shui kexue jinzhan, 2014
A new non-parametric method combining a seasonal-trend decomposition procedure loess model,a frequency analysis and a geometrically distributed block Bootstrap method was established to calculate the reference nutrient levels of a shallow lake situated ...

Tectono‐Sedimentary Evolution of the Neogene İnegöl Basin (NW Anatolia): Constraints on Transtensional Basin Development at the Junction of the Western Anatolian Extensional Province and the North Anatolian Fault Zone

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
The study outlines the tectono‐sedimentary evolution of the İnegöl Basin in north‐western Anatolia. Basin formation was controlled by interacting extensional and strike‐slip fault systems linked to uplift of the Uludağ Massif. Terrestrial sedimentation from the Miocene to Pleistocene is reconstructed using abundant fossil mammal assemblages that ...
