introduction atmosphere health is an important environmental issue and air pollution is not a local problem in a given area of the world. particles produced by either humans or the nature enter the atmosphere and return the earth’s surface at local, regional, or global scales after physico-chemical interactions. according to the reports by who, each year 2.4 million people lose their lives worl...

Conservation biologists mostly agree on the need to identify and protect biodiversity below the species level but have not yet resolved the best approach. We addressed 2 issues relevant to this debate. First, we distinguished between the abstract goal of preserving the maximum amount of unique biodiversity and the pragmatic goal of minimizing the loss of ecological goods and services given that...

Surface water samples of baseflow were collected from 20 headwater sub-watersheds which were classified into three types of watersheds (natural, urban and agricultural) in the flood, dry and transition seasons during three consecutive years (2010-2012) within a coastal watershed of Southeast China. Integrating spatial statistics with multivariate statistical techniques, river water quality vari...

To quantify the interaction between anthropogenic activities and atmospheric environment in North China, spatiotemporal characteristics, transmission, source apportionment a health risk assessment of elements were analyzed regional background research stations during period 2017. This study found that concentration PM2.5 16 station was 1.5 2.8 times higher, respectively, than station. Under com...

Discharge from the largest karst spring in north China, the Niangziguan Springs, has been declining since the 1950s. This paper examines the response of these springs to climatic change and anthropogenic infl uence by attempting a model-based discrimination between phases in the stream discharge record. In Niangziguan Springs Basin, the exploitation of karst groundwater began in 1979. According...

Soil sealing (loss of soil resources due to extensive land covering for the purpose of house building, road construction etc.) and subsequent soil landscape pattern changes constitute typical environmental problems in many places worldwide. Previous studies concentrated on soil sealing in urbanized regions, whereas rural areas have not been given sufficient attention. Accordingly, this paper st...

Anthropogenic activities have been significantly perturbing global freshwater flows and groundwater reserves. Despite numerous advances in the development of land surface models (LSMs) and global terrestrial hydrological models (GHMs), relatively few studies have attempted to simulate the impacts of anthropogenic activities on the terrestrial water cycle using the framework of LSMs. From the co...

The last decade has seen an unprecedented rise in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere mostly due to anthropogenic activities. In order to cutback on the greenhouse gas emissions we need to calculate accurately the greenhouse gas budget. The paper being reviewed here delineates a fine approach in that direction. The paper describes measurements from an old radio tower in Switzerland. Tall tower m...
