Natural reserves in the West African drylands play a critical role in sustaining livelihoods and preserving ecological integrity. However, these ecosystems face growing threats from climate variability and anthropogenic pressure. This study assesses...

Mercury (Hg) pollution from artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is a global environmental and public health concern. In Indonesia, ASGM remains widespread, yet assessments of multimedia contamination and health risks are limited. This study...

The Port of Veracruz, the main port in the Gulf of Mexico, has experienced a significant increase in its import and export operations, such as petroleum coke (Petcoke), a solid waste, mainly used in the steel industry. During the period of 2010&ndash...

The study examines the relationship between water surface loss and deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, focusing on the expansion of farming (crops and agriculture, as well as pasture and livestock) and the impact of inadequate legislation from 198...

Lavender is a plant widely used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries, and it is also well known for producing nectar and pollen that bees use to make honey. However, due to increasingly adverse atmospheric conditions in recent years,...

This study investigates the relationship between land use and soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in tropical Andean ecosystems, introducing a socio-ecological perspective to assess how community conservation perceptions influence SOC storage and contr...

Backward Lagrangian stochastic modeling is widely used to estimate emission rates from land surfaces to the atmosphere. It is also applied to calculate concentrations of pollutants due to known emission sources. A key component of this modeling techn...

In the exploitation of ion-adsorption rare earth ores, the environmental effects of leaching agents are key constraints for green mining. Understanding the release behavior of typical heavy metals from soils under leaching conditions is of great sign...

Understanding the dispersion of volcanic sulphur dioxide (SO2) plumes is crucial for assessing their environmental and climatic impacts. This study integrates satellite-based and reanalysis datasets to simulate as well as visualise the dispersion pat...
