Functional diversity (FD) is an essential community property connecting biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and conservation objectives. In agricultural landscapes, avian communities, which play key functional roles, are facing large‐scale biodiversity erosion, largely due to land‐use changes.

NowPrecip 2: Precipitation nowcasting in the complex terrain of Switzerland. Part I: Methods
In this work we present the methods of the areal precipitation nowcasting system NowPrecip version 2. In this version a new methodology is introduced, which, although it shares philosophy and techniques with the original methodology of NowPrecip version 1, can be considered as distinct from that.

NowPrecip 2: Precipitation nowcasting in the complex terrain of Switzerland. Part II: Verification
In this work we present the verification of the NowPrecip precipitation nowcasting systems (version 1 and version 2). Using 3.5 years of data over the period 2020–2023, their performance is compared with PySTEPS and the ICON numerical weather prediction ensemble by computing deterministic and probabilistic metrics.

Modulation of wind drag by tidal currents in an embayment
Tidal currents modulate how wind energy enters the surface wave field by influencing both wave drag and wave generation. In Shark Bay, following currents reduce effective wave steepness and wind drag, and opposing currents enhance wave growth. Wind energy is partitioned between wave drag and the creation of new waves, explaining observed tidal ...

ABSTRACT We present experimental results on the relationship between rain attenuation and simultaneous scintillation during rain events, based on beacon signal measurements at 19.7 (Ka‐band) and 39.4 GHz (Q‐band) from the geosynchronous Alphasat satellite (25° E), received at two Italian ground stations, Spino d'Adda (42.1° slant path) and Tito Scalo ...

FinTech and Environmental Sustainability: Evidence From Brazil
ABSTRACT This study explores the dynamic interplay between economic growth and environmental sustainability from a FinTech perspective, using Brazil as a case study. While FinTech's contribution to green transformation, sustainable finance, and resource efficiency has gained increasing attention, a notable lack of empirical research remains to assess ...

ABSTRACT This study investigates how green and non‐green goods, energy transition, digitalization, economic growth, and population affect the material footprint of G‐7 countries from 1990 to 2023. Using an extended STIRPAT framework, we show that green and non‐green goods increase material footprint, demonstrating the resource intensity associated with

ABSTRACT The pursuit of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7, 9, 12, and 13, centered on affordable clean energy, industrial innovation, responsible production, and climate action, has gained momentum across Latin American economies. However, the region continues to face the dual challenge of achieving economic growth while mitigating rising carbon ...

ABSTRACT Identifying the principal drivers of carbon emissions is vital for designing effective mitigation strategies and supporting long‐term environmental sustainability. Although previous studies have explored multiple determinants of emissions, limited attention has been paid to the most influential energy–technology channels within trade‐dependent

ABSTRACT In advanced European economies facing persistent environmental pressures, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires aligning technological transformation with ecological constraints. This study examines the asymmetric effects of medium‐ and high‐technology (M&HTEC) industries on environmental sustainability in the EU‐5 ...
