ABSTRACT The conservation of native vegetation in rural properties of the Brazilian semi‐arid region constitutes a critical challenge for regional environmental sustainability and land degradation prevention. This study analyzed the influence of socioeconomic factors of rural landowners on native vegetation retention in properties from the Central ...

ABSTRACT Land degradation driven by rapid land‐use and climate‐driven vegetation dynamics increasingly threatens ecosystem stability in semi‐arid wetland basins, yet predictive ecosystem health assessments remain limited in Sub‐Saharan Africa. This study evaluates historical dynamics and future trajectories of ecosystem health in the Ziway‐Shalla Sub ...

The present study generated the corrosion performance of C‐steel, zinc, and galvanized steel in different global unsaturated soil environments for 2 years. Acceptable matching was observed between corrosion rates and identified corrosion products. To properly predict soil corrosion, the results showed that DIN 50929 should include a drainage‐capability

When a Week Is Not A Week: How Temporal Boundaries Shift Regulatory Focus and Consumer Preference
ABSTRACT Does consumer perception of a sales event change if it falls across a calendar boundary (e.g., next month) versus within the current month, holding objective time constant? We investigate this question in the context of Cyber Monday, the global shopping event occurring the Monday after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.

Bounding the Betti numbers of real tropical varieties. [PDF]
Real tropical varieties are polyhedral objects which are in some cases isotopic to real algebraic varieties. We will introduce those objects and show an upper bound on their Betti numbers.

Multitrophic alpha and beta diversity of lake plankton across Canada
Anthropogenic environmental changes impact freshwater biodiversity globally. While biodiversity assessments in freshwater environments have traditionally focused on individual groups of organisms or trophic levels, considering patterns of ‘multitrophic biodiversity' across the food web provides a more comprehensive view of anthropogenic impacts and ...

Tropical geometry and its applications [PDF]
. From a formal perspective tropical geometry can be viewed as a branch of geometry manipulating with certain piecewise-linear objects that take over the rôle of classical algebraic varieties.
