Dispersion modeling of NOx from stacks of cracking furnaces of OLEFIN unit using AERMOD by Iman Jalali, Somayeh Tourani

“…The study was conducted in the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone (PSEZ) located near Bandar Imam, Iran, which houses the Amirkabir petrochemical plant.The air modeling demonstrated that the maximum output concentrations of NOX were 1221 μg/m3 in the spring, 2039 μg/m3 in the summer, 1078 μg/m3 in the autumn, 1164 μg/m3 in the winter, and 1716.527 μg/m3 for the whole year. Since the prevailing wind is from the northwest, NOX does not significantly affect populated centers. …”

Disentangling the Roles of Climate Variables in Forest Fire Occurrences in China by Chenqin Lian, Zhiming Feng, Hui Gu, Beilei Gao

“…The main conclusions are as follows: (1) In total, 82% of forest fires were prevalent in the southern and southwestern forest regions (SR and SWR) in China, especially in winter and spring. (2) Forest fires were mainly distributed in areas with a mean annual temperature and annual precipitation of 14~22 °C (subtropical) and 800~2000 mm (humid zone), respectively. (3) Incidences of forest fires were positively correlated with temperature, potential evapotranspiration, surface downwelling shortwave flux, and near-surface wind speed but negatively correlated with precipitation and near-surface relative humidity. (4) Temperature and potential evapotranspiration dominated the roles in determining spatial variations of China’s forest fires, while the combination of climate variables complicated the spatial variation. …”

Performance of Three Reanalysis Precipitation Datasets over the Qinling-Daba Mountains, Eastern Fringe of Tibetan Plateau, China by Gefei Wang, Xiaowen Zhang, Shiqiang Zhang

“…All reanalysis datasets performed better in spring, summer, and autumn than in winter. The advantages of involving more precipitation observation stations was probably the main reason of the different performance of three precipitation reanalysis products, and the benefit of a four-dimensional variational analysis model over a three-dimensional variational analysis model may be another reason. …”

Conservation biological control in forest: A case study with the pine processionary moth by Nattan Plat, Lucas Moreews, Laura Schillé, Jean-Baptiste Rivoal, Hervé Jactel

“…Predation by birds was also positively correlated with the vocal activity of the great tit, the main predator of pine processionary caterpillars in winter. In conifer monocultures, broadleaved hedgerows not only help to control the pest but could also promote biodiversity and protect pine plantations from abiotic hazards, thereby enhancing the multifunctionality of plantation landscapes.…”
