Multi‐Country‐Multi‐City Characterisation of Heat Stress and Exposure in Africa
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study provides the first continent‐wide, grid‐specific assessment of heat stress trends in Africa, revealing a sharp rise in multi‐scale extreme heat episodes and shifting population exposure. Findings highlight urgent implications for urban planning and climate adaptation.

Zooplankton in Lake Coatetelco, a Eutrophic Shallow Tropical Lake in Mexico [PDF]
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2003 ABSTRACT Zooplankton from Lake Coatetelco, a shallow tropical reservoir in Morelos State, Mexico, was surveyed monthly through one year. The entire zooplankton community was represented by only five species, with the calanoid Arctodiaptomus dorsalis overwhelmingly dominant throughout the year.

Precision Restoration to Minimize Soil Loss in a Watershed in the Atlantic Forest Domain
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Turvo River Watershed, located in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais and part of the Doce River Basin, faces serious problems of erosion and soil degradation, which compromise and reduce the quality of local water resources. Given this scenario, it is essential to implement environmental recovery strategies that prioritize the ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

Taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia (Acanthaceae) in India
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.A taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia in India was undertaken through extensive field surveys and critical examination of herbarium specimens. Three taxa, Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina subsp. marina, and Avicennia officinalis, are described in detail. A synonymic list was compiled using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP)
