Implications of differences between temperate and tropical freshwater ecosystems for the ecological risk assessment of pesticides [PDF]
Despite considerable increased pesticide use over the past decades, little research has been done into their fate and effects in surface waters in tropical regions.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Corrosion of metallic process equipment in chemical, marine, and offshore industries leads to significant maintenance costs and safety concerns. Conventional epoxy coatings, though widely applied, often deteriorate under harsh conditions due to microcracking, moisture ingress and lack of self‐healing capability.

Future intensification of Northern Hemisphere monsoons due to declining remote aerosol pollution
Environmental Research LettersAnthropogenic aerosol emissions have significantly shaped historical monsoon precipitation, yet uncertainties persist in the projected response to future emissions. This study employs models contributing at least ten ensemble members to the Detection and

Global Climate Change and the Resurgence of Tropical Disease: An Economic Approach [PDF]
We study the impact of global climate change on the prevalence of tropical diseases using a heterogeneous agent dynamic general equilibrium model. In our framework, households can take actions (e.g., purchasing bednets or other goods) that provide ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Genebanks must maintain viable seeds for decades. Seeds that germinate are clearly alive, but some seeds, often from wild populations, do not germinate because they are dormant, empty, aged, or damaged (D.E.A.D.). This work evaluates the effects of D.E.A.D.

Monitoring changes in precipitation and radiative energy using satellite data and climate models [PDF]
, 2009 Current changes in the tropical hydrological cycle, including water vapour and precipitation, are presented over the period 1979-2008 based on a diverse suite of observational datasets and atmosphere-only climate models.

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

Strong Green‐Up of Tropical Asia During the 2015/16 El Niño
Geophysical Research LettersEl Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the main climate mode that drives the interannual variability in climate and consequently vegetation greenness. While widespread green‐up has been reported and examined in tropical America during El Niño, it remains
