NIR Spectroscopy and Aquaphotomics Approach to Identify Soil Characteristics as a Function of the Sampling DepthAbstract Soil is a very complex medium made of minerals, organic matter, microorganisms, air, and water. Vibrational spectroscopy techniques are exceptionally well-suited to be used with portable and hand-held devices. In this study, NIR spectroscopy was applied using portable instrumentation and [...] 345 3563 |
How Might Changing Climate Limit Cyanobacteria Growth in Shallow Prairie Lakes? An Empirical Space-For-Time Evaluation of the Potential Role of Increasing Sulfateby
Susan Joshi
and
Leland Jackson
Abstract Cyanobacteria blooms alter aquatic ecosystems and occur frequently in shallow prairie lakes, which are predicted to increase in salinity as the regional climate becomes hotter and drier. However, flat landscapes that experience depression bottom salinity with high concentrations of sulfa [...] 279 3522 |
Wind-Stress Variations from Deep to Shallow Water during Hurricanes for Air-Sea-Land Interaction Applicationsby
Shih-Ang Hsu
Abstract In September 2020 Hurricane Sally impacted two National Data Buoy Center (www.ndbc.noaa.gov) buoys near its track: 42040 in the deep water and 42012 in the sh [...] 326 4516 |
Urban Air Pollution and Emergency Department Visits for Cardiac and Respiratory DiseasesAbstract Air pollution affects various aspects of human health. Here, the associations between the number of emergency department visits for circulatory and respiratory problems and ambient air pollution in Toronto, Canada, in the period between April 2004 and December 2015 were studied. The heal [...] 275 3344 |

Abstract Moderately contaminated garden soils can benefit from gentle remediation options such as soil amendments, which improve soil functions and agronomic potentialities while decreasing environmental and human risk. This study aimed to analyze the effects of doses of various common soil amend [...] 338 4472 |
Managing the Turf of An Urban Golf Course: Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissionby
Genevieve Ow
and
Eugenie Chan
Abstract This study investigated energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission across various playing surfaces (e.g., greens, tees, fairways, and roughs) in an urban parkland golf course. The turfs of golf courses require frequent maintenance to ensure high aesthetic and play quality. Main [...] 330 4362 |
Standardized Precipitation Index Comparison along the Limbe-Bamenda Axis of the Cameroon Gulf of GuineaAbstract Mean monthly rainfall decline with continentality is a commonplace phenomenon that has been used in this study to compare its trend in Bamenda in the Western Highlands and Limbe on the Atlantic lowland coast. This study attempts to bridge some of the methodological gaps in the previous s [...] 427 3962 |

We greatly appreciate the contribution of expert reviewers, which is crucial to the journal's editorial process. W [...] 254 2874 |
Effects of Land Cover/Use Change and Altitude on Soil NPK Nutrients in Selected areas in the North West Region of CameroonAbstract Land-use change is one of the main indicators of soil quality. Soil physical and chemical properties vary with land use change and altitude as inferred from transect surveys and toposequences. Soil nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) are essential macronutrients for plant growth an [...] 413 4612 |
A System Dynamics Modelling Approach for Electronic Waste Recycling after Floods in Jakarta and New Orleansby
Ilir Deva
and
Renata van der Weijden
Abstract Due to climate change, flood-related disasters are expected to increase. Floods generate enormous amounts of waste, including electronic waste (e-waste). E-waste should be recovered not only because it can have detrimental effects on human health and the environment but also because of t [...] 578 5213 |
