Spatially Explicit Estimation of Clay and Organic Carbon Content in Agricultural Soils Using Multi-Annual Imaging Spectroscopy Data by Heike Gerighausen, Gunter Menz, Hermann Kaufmann

“…Information on soil clay and organic carbon content on a regional to local scale is vital for a multitude of reasons such as soil conservation, precision agriculture, and possibly also in the context of global environmental change. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of multi-annual hyperspectral images acquired with the HyMap sensor (450–2480 nm) during three flight campaigns in 2004, 2005, and 2008 for the prediction of clay and organic carbon content on croplands by means of partial least squares regression (PLSR). …”

Assessing changing baleen whale distributions and reported incidents relative to vessel activity in the Northwest Atlantic. by Hannah Solway, Boris Worm, Tonya Wimmer, Derek P Tittensor

“…While some high-risk regions already benefit from mitigation strategies aimed at protecting North Atlantic Right Whales, our analysis highlights the importance of considering risks to multiple species, both in the present day and under continued environmental change.…”

High genomic connectivity within Anatoma at hydrothermal vents along the Central and Southeast Indian Ridge by Katharina Kniesz, Leon Hoffman, Pedro Martínez Arbizu, Terue C. Kihara

“…However, low levels of heterozygosity revealed a small gene pool and therefore an increased vulnerability towards environmental change. Our results demonstrate that 2b-RAD sequencing, in combination with other molecular methods, can accurately characterise macrobenthic mollusc communities. …”

USING MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSIONS TO DERIVE CROPLAND AND PASTURE PROPORTION MAPS IN ROMANIA by DIANA DOGARU, GHEORGHE KUCSICSA

“…The spatial pattern of agricultural lands is an important part of the assessments regarding land management and its societal consequences, especially when considering the increasing demand for food and stronger environmental change impacts. As a subsequence, integrative studies based on complex spatial models simulating biogeochemical and physical processes that estimate yield gaps, crops efficiency or agricultural water resources use are relevant for providing trustful information required by stakeholders from different governance levels, and whose interests center on land use and its societal implications. …”

Water Supply Risk Analysis Based on Runoff Sequence Simulation with Change Point under Changing Environment by Yafang Cheng, Ping Feng, Jianzhu Li, Yuangang Guo, Peizhen Ren

“…This study investigates the water supply risk of Panjiakou reservoir in the Luanhe River basin of China during 1956–2016 under environmental change. Since the monthly runoff series during 1956–2016 is a time series with change points, it is necessary to find a new stochastic streamflow series generation approach to preserve the statistical characteristics of the original series and to refine the reliability of water supply risk analysis. …”
