Salinity-induced limits to Mangrove canopy height and diversity [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Mangrove canopy height is a key metric to assess tidal forests' resilience in the face of climate change. In terrestrial forests, tree height is primarily determined by water availability, plant hydraulic design, and disturbance regime. However, the role of water stress remains elusive in tidal environments, where saturated soils are prevalent, and ...

An Efficient Approach with Dynamic Multi-Swarm of UAVs for Forest Firefighting [PDF]
, 2022 In this paper, the Multi-Swarm Cooperative Information-driven search and Divide and Conquer mitigation control (MSCIDC) approach is proposed for faster detection and mitigation of forest fire by reducing the loss of biodiversity, nutrients, soil moisture, and other intangible benefits.

Human Limits in Machine Learning: Prediction of Plant Phenotypes Using Soil Microbiome Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The preservation of soil health is a critical challenge in the 21st century due to its significant impact on agriculture, human health, and biodiversity. We provide the first deep investigation of the predictive potential of machine learning models to understand the connections between soil and biological phenotypes.

The Role of Soil Surface in a Sustainable Semiarid Ecosystem [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Patterns in a semiarid ecosystem are important because they directly and indirectly affect ecological processes, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience. Understanding the causes and effects of these patterns is critical for long-term land surface management and conservation efforts in semiarid regions, which are especially sensitive to climate change ...

Use of synthetic clay for Removal of Diclofenac Anti-inflammatory
Eurasian Journal of Soil Science, 2015 The removal of diclofenac by sorption on a synthetic hydrotalcite and on its calcined product was investigated. The solid [Mg-Al-CO3], prepared by cooprecipitation at constant pH, its calcined mixed oxide was obtained; both solid were characterized by X ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 353-368, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Impact investments have the dual goals of generating profit and environmental and/or social impact from the same project or enterprise. This article examines recent impact investments in biodiversity conservation—specifically, debt finance in the form of conventional bonds and impact bonds.
