EXAMINING DAILY AND DRY SEASON CAPACITIVE WATER RELEASE OF AFRICAN TROPICAL TREES IN A CHANGING CLIMATE
(2025-06-30)Tropical forests are vital to the global carbon budget, regional water cycling and biodiversity, but face major threats in a changing climate. Tree die-off due to drought is a concern of increasing magnitude. Understanding ... -
PFAS in Drinking Water: Institutional Responsibilities and Regulatory Gaps caused the Ronneby incident?
(2025-06-27)PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) are a collective name for over 10,000 synthetic chemicals. They are characterized by their persistence, bioaccumulation, and high mobility in aquatic environments, and ... -
BARK AND FOLIAR WATER UPTAKE CAPACITY OF TROPICAL TREE SPECIES IN RWANDA
(2025-06-26)Water is essential for tree function and survival, yet climate warming poses increasing threats to tree health, particularly in tropical regions where droughts are intensifying. While foliar water uptake (FWU) and bark ... -
A Comparative Study of Air Quality and Urban Development in Sri Lankan Cities (1980-2024)
(2025-06-26)The aim of this study is to investigate the long -term relationship between urbanization and air quality in four Sri Lankan cities, Colombo, Kandy, Anuradhapura, and Jaffna from 1980 to 2024. As rapid urbanization and ... -
ESTIMATING LEAF AREA DENSITY (LAD) ACROSS URBAN TREE GENERA USING LIDAR DATA
(2025-06-25)Urban greenery provides natural processes that benefit human well-being, called ecosystem services, such as climate change mitigation and is an important factor for establishing sustainable cities. Some ecosystem services, ... -
Composition and effect of windmill-derived microplastic
(2025-06-25)One readily available and renewable energy that combats global warming and minimizes the use of fossil fuels is wind power. The next generation of power is likely to be more socially reliant on wind power as it is more ... -
EVALUATION OF THE PROTECTIVITY OF ASSESSMENT FACTORS IN THE REACH REGULATION
(2025-06-25)Under REACH, a chemical risk assessmentis often conducted tduring the registration if an industrial chemical. In that chemical risk assessment, assessment factors can be used to extrapolate the toxicity of a chemical ... -
HEAT TOLERANCE AND HEAT ACCLIMATION IN POTENTIAL FUTURE URBAN TREE SPECIES IN SWEDEN
(2025-06-24)The full effect on urban greenery due to global warming and future increased intensity and frequency of heatwaves is still unclear. Harsh urban conditions, like the urban heat island effect, may require the introduction ... -
EFFECTS OF THE ANTIDEPRESSANT AMITRIPTYLINE ON MARINE MEIOFAUNA With a novel methodology of examining activity
(2025-06-24)Chemical pollution is an increasing problem threatening earth’s ecosystems around the world. One important group of organisms is meiofauna that is often overlooked despite their great ecological importance and diversity. ... -
HOW LOGGING RESIDUES IMPACT ECOSYSTEM RESPIRATION AFTER CLEAR-CUT?
(2025-06-23)Drained peatlands are a source of CO2; to reduce such effect, afforestation is a common mitigation strategy. However, clear-cutting and logging residue retention, along with climate change, alter soil conditions, affect ... -
MICROPLASTICS IN THE DRINKING WATER TREATMENT PROCESS: A CASE STUDY OF GISLAVED, SWEDEN
(2025-06-23)The production and subsequent pollution of plastics has reached staggering levels in recent decades, leading to the ubiquitous presence of microplastics in Earth’s environmental systems, including aquatic resources ... -
