Identification of mineral components in tropical soils using reflectance spectroscopy and advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (ASTER) data. [PDF]

, 2019
Soil characteristics provide important support for understanding transformations that occur in environmental systems. Physical characteristics and chemical compositions of soils controlled by pedogenetic processes, climatic changes and land use imply ...

Environmental and geomorphological drivers of frog diversity on islands worldwide

Ecography, EarlyView.
Island biogeography models primarily rely on island physical features and isolation to explain their biodiversity patterns. While newer models have incorporated functional traits to understand plant distribution, few empirical studies have tried to disentangle geometric constraints from niche‐based processes to predict multiple diversity facets of ...

Dinâmica do Escoamento de Ar Acima e Dentro de uma Floresta Tropical Densa sobre Terreno Complexo na Amazônia (Dynamics of Airflow Above and Within a Tropical Rainforest Canopy Dense in the Complex Terrain on Amazonia)

Revista Brasileira de Geografia Física, 2013
Escoamentos do vento em terrenos com vegetação são provavelmente mais complexos do que os escoamentos em terreno com pouca ou sem presença de cobertura vegetal. Devido a essa complexidade poucos estudos abordaram a problemática da dinâmica do escoamento em regiões de florestas tropicais, principalmente em terreno complexo de pequena escala, como é o ...

Thinking Fragments: Adisciplinary Reflections on Feminisms and Environmental Justic [PDF]

, 2017
Feminisms and environmental justice are some of the names of struggles to understand nature-culture linkages and conceptualize just worlds for non-humans and their human kin.

Environmental heterogeneity and spatial variation mediates plant diversity and ecosystem stability in mountain ecosystems of the Mediterranean Andes

Ecography, EarlyView.
Globally, mountains are highly diverse ecosystems that serve as natural laboratories for testing ecological theories, while providing vital ecosystem services. Their biodiversity arises from the interaction between elevational gradients and topographic complexity, which generate strong variation in environmental conditions across short spatial scales ...

Observation and Numerical Simulation of Cross-Mountain Airflow at the Hong Kong International Airport from Range Height Indicator Scans of Radar and LIDAR

Atmosphere
Apart from headwind changes, crosswind changes may be hazardous to aircraft operation. This paper presents two cases of recently observed crosswind changes from the range height indicator scans of ground-based remote sensing meteorological equipment ...

Geophysical assessment of subsurface conditions at proposed building sites: implications for foundation failure and building collapse [PDF]

, 2018
Building collapse has been a recurrent environmental hazard in Nigeria in the last two decades. This is a corollary of inadequate foundation investigation prior to construction, poor government policies, and general lack of awareness on the importance of

Spiritual Cannibalism in HRD: How Workplace Spirituality Devours Sacred Traditions

Human Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper interrogates how the discourse of workplace spirituality in human resource development (HRD) operates as a tool of colonization. Through a systematic review of 48 articles published between 1997 and March 2025, the study uncovers recurring patterns of spiritual appropriation in which non‐Western traditions are detached from their ...
