Research on the Impact of Coastal Land Reclamation on Geomorphic Complexity and Tidal Energy Dissipation—A Case Study of Zhoushan Islands, Hangzhou Bay by Shixia Zhang, Qiankun Hong, Huifang Guo

“…Consequently, the significant reduction in the fractal dimension (D) and shape index (S) leads to a tidal reduction rate decrease of over 88%, posing substantial threats to coastal and estuarine bay disaster prevention and ecosystem services. The study proposes effective control indicators and scientific reclamation planning measures, providing a theoretical basis and novel methods for the rational utilization and sustainable development of coastal mudflat resources.…”

Changes in soil water content and lateral flow exert large effects on soil thermal dynamics across Alaskan landscapes by Xiangyu Liu, Qianlai Zhuang, Chang Liao, M Torre Jorgenson

“…Both lateral surface and subsurface water flow affect soil moisture dynamics, yet most land surface models only solve subsurface water movement vertically. Here, we use a 3D ecosystem model that considers both land surface and subsurface hydrologic processes to simulate soil moisture, which is then used to drive a 1-D vertical soil thermal model to simulate the soil moisture effects on soil thermal dynamics in central Alaska. …”

Variations of the Reference Evapotranspiration and Aridity Index Over Northeast China: Changing Properties and Possible Causes by Liguo Cao, Zhengchao Zhou

“…Temporal and spatial variations in reference evapotranspiration (ET0) and aridity index (AI) can be used as important indexes for understanding climate change and its effects on ecosystem stability. Thus, in this work, we comprehensively investigated 71 meteorological stations in Northeast China from 1965 to 2017 to analyze the spatial-temporal variation and trend of ET0 and AI using the nonparametric Mann–Kendall test, the linear regression, and the Morlet wavelet methods. …”

Longitudinal analysis of soil erosion dynamics using the RUSLE model in Ethiopia’s Lake Ziway watershed: implications for agricultural sustainability and food security by Degfie Teku, Melak Desta Workie

“…IntroductionSoil erosion is a persistent environmental challenge in Ethiopia’s Lake Ziway Watershed, posing severe risks to agricultural sustainability, food security, and ecosystem stability. Despite its significance, limited longitudinal studies have systematically analyzed soil erosion dynamics in this region or identified critical intervention areas.MethodsThis study employs the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model integrated with remote sensing and GIS techniques to perform a 30-year longitudinal analysis (1993–2023).ResultsThe analysis highlights spatial and temporal trends in both potential and modeled actual soil erosion rates, revealing substantial but fluctuating losses over the study period. …”
