Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

GeoAI Dataset for Training a Deep Learning-based GEMS Snow Detection Model [PDF]

Geo Data
The Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) observes air quality across East Asia from an altitude of approximately 36,000 km, analyzing the spatiotemporal distribution of atmospheric pollutants that spread beyond localized regions. GEMS

Reliably flattened radar backscatter for wet snow mapping from wide-swath sensors

, 2013
Retrieval of wet snow extent with high temporal resolution over large areas that include topography requires use of wide swath SAR and radiometric terrain correction to enable backscatter comparisons across different orbital tracks. We report on springtime wet snow mapping using a time series of Envisat ASAR wide swath (WS) images covering the Swiss ...

Responses of Antarctic seabird populations to past climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Higher‐order predators such as Antarctic seabirds serve as ecological indicators of environmental change and provide a crucial trophic link between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their prevalence and significance in the Antarctic ecosystem, there is a lack of understanding of the impacts of major regime shifts in paleoclimate on flighted ...

Civil Society Advocacy and Climate Change in Kenya: The Question of “Local Voices” and Their “Amplification”

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in addressing climate change is acknowledged, but engagement with questions of voice remains limited, especially in the Global South. Addressing this, this paper zooms in on (International) nongovernmental organizations ((I)NGOs) and their collaborations with domestic CSOs in the Global South on ...

Comprehensive simulation of snow crystal deposition and electric field characteristics of composite sheath improved porcelain cantilever insulator in a wind and snow environment

Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation, 2022
The installed porcelain insulators on existing railway lines in China are prone to "snow flash" in winter. In order to prevent the occurrence of "snow flash" and improve the reliability of the insulators, a composite-porcelain insulator is designed.

The Role of Trade Unions in Environmental Governance: Exploring Workers Legitimacy Judgments

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trade unions are increasingly expected to play a role in sustainability transitions, but their legitimacy as environmental governance actors remains underexplored. Our study uses a multidimensional framework to examine how workers, both union members and non‐members, evaluate trade union legitimacy “from below.” This framework distinguishes ...

Comprehensive assessment of snow leopard distribution and population in the Indian Trans-Himalaya, Ladakh: Standardizing methods for evidence-based conservation

PLoS ONE
Effective conservation of threatened species depends on accurate scientific assessment of their occurrence and population status. This information is often lacking or has poor scientific reliability for low-density carnivores, such as snow leopards ...
