Indoor Air Exposure to Multiple Agricultural Pesticides Potentially Posing the Highest Risk to Young Children by Sithembiso Sifiso Msibi, Chung-Yu Chen, Cheng-Ping Chang, Chiou-Jong Chen, Su-Yin Chiang, Kuen-Yuh Wu

“…Thus, the take-home pathway, spray drift and household-to-field distance all play crucial roles in determining the pesticide exposure and health risks indoors. Owing to the dominance of the first factor, we advise applicators to shower and change into clean clothes before returning home to their families. …”

Optimal distribution modeling and multifractal analysis of wind speed in the complex terrain of Sichuan Province, China by Cun Zhan, Renjuan Wei, Lu Zhao, Shijun Chen, Chunying Shen

“…Considering these findings, the southwestern mountainous region emerges as the optimal area for wind farm development, given its stability (persistence) and moderate fluctuation complexity (multifractality), crucial for effective wind resource utilization in hydropower-dominated settings. Our study provides a novel approach to assessing wind resources and offers guidance for wind farm placement in complex terrain regions, supporting sustainable energy diversification in Sichuan Province.…”

Combined effects of topography, soil moisture, and snow cover regimes on growth responses of grasslands in a low- mountain range (Vosges, France) by P.-A. Herrault, A. Ullmann, D. Ertlen

“…Spatial patterns of browning are enhanced on north-facing slopes and at low elevations (<span class="inline-formula">&lt;1100</span> m), where high-producing grasslands with dominant herbaceous communities prevail. A low soil water recharge also appears to be pivotal in explaining the probability of browning at the study site. …”

Annotated review of the mammal fauna in the Chornobyl Biosphere Reserve as of 2023 by Sergii Gashchak

“…Certain species (lynx, Przewalski’s horse, and bear) continue to increase in number, while the red deer has shifted from being a non-abundant to a dominant species. At the same time, there is limited information on rare and conditionally non-abundant species as they often fall outside the scope of research due to the difficulty of their study. …”

Assessment of the impact of the great cormorant (Phalaсrocorax carbo sinensis Shaw et Nodder, 1801) on fish resources of the Obytichna Spit the Sea of Azov by A. Sydorenko

“…The study showed that the diet of the great cormorant in the Obytichna Spit area consisted of eight fish species, with the round goby (Neogobius melanostomus Pallas, 1814) and the monkey goby (Neogobius fluviatilis Pallas, 1814) being dominant. The total fish consumption by the cormorant colony on the Obytichna Spit amounts to 9563.75 tons per season. …”

Do land models miss key soil hydrological processes controlling soil moisture memory? by M. A. Farmani, A. Behrangi, A. Behrangi, A. Gupta, A. Tavakoly, A. Tavakoly, M. Geheran, G.-Y. Niu

“…The results suggest that (1) soil hydraulics plays a dominant role and the Van Genuchten hydraulic scheme reduces the overestimation of the long-term surface SMM produced by the Brooks–Corey scheme, which is commonly used in LSMs; (2) explicitly representing surface ponding enhances SMM for both the surface layer and the root zone; and (3) representing preferential flow improves the overall representation of soil moisture dynamics. …”
