Statistical Downscaling and Projection of Future Air Temperature Changes in Yunnan Province, China by Jiaxu Liu, Sujing Chen, Lijuan Li, Jiuyi Li

“…The results showed the following. (1) The pattern of change and the numerical values of the air temperature could be reasonably simulated, with the average R2 between observed and generated data being 0.963 for calibration and 0.964 for validation. (2) All scenarios projected increases of different degrees of temperature in all seasons, except for spring in the 2020s. Annually, the most remarkable changes in the 2020s, 2050s, and 2080s were 0.27, 1.00, and 1.84°C, respectively. …”

Effects of Physicochemical Variables of Superficial Waters on the Abundance of the North African Freshwater Crab Potamon algeriense (Bott, 1967) by Soufiane Fadlaoui, Ouahid El Asri, Mustapha Bouterfas, Mohammed Melhaoui

“…The evaluation of the physicochemical quality showed that the waters of all the stations studied are between the excellent and good quality classes concerning all the physicochemical variables and highlights also two variations with a tendency towards degradation, one spatial from upstream to downstream and the other seasonal from the wet to the dry period. The abundance of crabs was recorded to exhibit a positive correlation with dissolved oxygen, calcium (N = 44) (p < 0.01), and magnesium. …”

Occurrence, distribution, and potential ecological risks of psychoactive substances in the mangrove environment, Hainan Island of South China by Junnan Chen, Dan Feng, Jian Xu, Guoliang Ren, Changsheng Guo, Xiaocong Cao, Anfu Yang, Li Wang, Mingyang Wang, Ruixian Wang, Like Chen, Xiaochen Wu

“…The spatial distribution showed that PSs concentrations in mangroves in the Eastern Route were higher than those in the Western Route, similar to the level of regional development, which may be influenced by seasonal tourism. The risk quotients (RQs) of the PSs ranged from 0 to 0.0055, suggesting the low risk of PSs in Hainan mangrove ecosystems. …”
