Interactions between precipitation, vegetation, and erosion are crucial not fully solved issues in the area of earth surface processes. The Qingshui River Basin (QRB), as main sediment source tributary upper reaches Yellow River, is characterized by spatial heterogeneity rainfall, soil erosion. In this study, we investigated spatiotemporal variations yields within QRB further identified couplin...

The multi-scale and nonlinear nature of the ocean dynamics dramatically affects the spreading of matter, like pollutants, marine litter, etc., of physical and chemical seawater properties, and the biological connectivity inside and among different basins. Based on the Finite-Scale Lyapunov Exponent analysis of the largest available near-surface Lagrangian data set from the Global Drifter Progra...

1. Understanding factors that regulate the assembly of communities is a main focus of ecology. Human-engineered habitats, such as reservoirs, may provide insight into these assembly processes because they represent novel habitats that are subjected to colonization by fishes from the surrounding river basin or transported by humans. By contrasting community similarity within and among reservoirs...

BACKGROUND The marginal seas of northwestern Pacific are characterized by unique topography and intricate hydrology. Two hypotheses have been proposed to explain genetic patterns of marine species inhabiting the region: the historical glaciations hypothesis suggests population genetic divergence between sea basins, whereas the Changjiang River outflow hypothesis suggests genetic break in line w...

The article presents an analysis of water monitoring organization in the Sumy region. reform resources management has placed main burden on implementation state policy and ensuring proper ecological condition basin at regional level management. European approach field pays attention to monitoring, which is integral part system environmental Ukraine. An principle region had been conducted. There...

The land use and occupation in watersheds directly influences the water resources, vegetation cover is a crucial factor for maintenance. objective of this study was to characterize nine Lower Iguaçu River (Andrada, Monteiro, Gonçalves Dias, Floriano, Silva Jardim, Cotejipe, Sarandi, Capanema Santo Antônio sub-basin rivers), using classification from satellite images. area obtained high accuracy...

We demonstrate the efficiency of the multidomain sampler (MDS) in finding multiple distinct global minima and low-energy local minima in the hydrophobic-polar (HP) lattice protein model. Extending the idea of partitioning energy space in the Wang-Landau algorithm, our approach introduces an additional partitioning scheme to divide the protein conformation space into local basins of attraction. ...

The Moncure microvertebrate locality in the Cumnock Formation, Sanford sub-basin, North Carolina, dramatically increases the known Late Triassic age vertebrate assemblage from the Deep River Basin. The ,50,000 recovered microvertebrate fossils include osteichthyans, amphibians, and numerous lepidosauromorph, archosauriform, and synapsid amniotes. Actinopterygian fossils consist of thousands of ...

An increasing global population and growing wealth are raising demand for energy and food, impacting on the environment and people living in river basins. Sectoral decision-making may not optimize socio-economic benefits because of perverse impacts in other sectors for people and ecosystems. The hydropower–food supply nexus in the Mekong River basins is assessed here in an influence model. This...
