Variation Characteristics of Annual Baseflow at Different Frequencies in Upper Yangtze River Using a Digital Filtering Method

[Objective] Addressing critical gaps in understanding the Upper Yangtze River Basin (UYRB) baseflow dynamics is essential for regional water security and ecological sustainability. This study presents the first comprehensive multi-station a...

Drought and Water Scarcity Management Policy in England and Wales—Current Failings and the Potential of Civic Innovation

Drought management in England and Wales takes place in a narrow, confined governance space. Assessed against current literature on drought management, England and Wales show little innovativeness and little actual willingness to change. We ...

Efficacious role of silica nanoparticles in improving growth and yield of wheat under drought stress through stress-gene upregulation

Climate change is now evident and severe water shortage due to unpredictable raining season along with extended summers is expected to hamper crop production across the globe. Application of nanoparticle based formulations is one of the mos...

Anthropogenic aerosol reduction contributes to faster flash drought onset in a changing climate.

Urdu poetry and Eco Criticism

 Eco-criticism is relatively considered a new term in Urdu literature although a brief review of Urdu literature particularly poetry indicates that environmental problems have always been critically observed by the literary minds. Eco...

Using Network-Based Machine Learning to Predict Transcription Factors Involved in Drought Resistance

Gene regulatory networks underpin stress response pathways in plants. However, parsing these networks to prioritize key genes underlying a particular trait is challenging. Here, we have built the Gene Regulation and Association Network (GRA...

Increased Atmospheric Aridity and Reduced Precipitation Drive the 2023 Extreme Wildfire Season in Canada

Abstract Canada experienced an unprecedented wildfire season in 2023. Here, we analyzed the exceptional scale, dominant driving factors, and potential impacts on permafrost of these wildfires using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiome...

Multidimensional Correlates of Childhood Stunting in India: A Spatial Machine Learning and Explainable AI Approach

Childhood stunting remains a major public health challenge in India and is influenced by multiple socioeconomic and environmental factors. This ecological study examined district-level correlates of childhood stunting, including Crimes Agai...
