He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1948 for his discovery, and DDT was widely used through the 1960s. It wasn’t until Rachel Carson published her famous book "Silent Spring" in 1962 that the toxic properties of DDT were widely acknowledged, which led to the chemical's ban ...
A holistic approach, including the analysis of ecological, historical and spatial factors, is used in order to understand the dynamics of these environments created by agricultural abandonment in southwestern Québec (Canada). The analysis of 36 abandoned farmlands in the study area reveals the ...
In this study, we perform a bottom-up and spatially explicit quantification of the climate change mitigation potential of CDR measures (NR, AF, and BECCS) and BE on historical and future estimates of abandoned cropland. Potentials are estimated until 2050, as the mitigation efforts achieved in ...

Soil transformations under abandoned cropland reverting back to native range in the Brown and Black Chernozemic soil zones of southern Alberta, Canada were assessed. Total extractable organic acids and phenols were generally greater in abandoned cropland soils than in adjacent native range soils. Ammo...
The land-based option that can achieve the largest climate change mitigation potential for one hectare of land in different locations across the globe is still unclear. Most of the existing studies typically have either a coarse resolution or a region-specific scope, only focusing on individual pot...
The ability to reliably predict the hydraulic properties of subsurface formations is one of the most important and challenging goals in hydrogeophysics. In water-saturated environments, estimation of subsurface porosity and hydraulic con... DP Lesmes,SP Friedman - Springer Netherlands 被引量: 219发表:...
In a typical year, several people die in accidents that occur in abandoned mines across the United States. Some of these deaths can be prevented if citizens know the danger of these properties; if landowners make better efforts to warn and limit access; and, if governments have improved ...
In Canada, once milled peatlands are abandoned, fibric to sapric, sphagnum or sedge peat deposits remain (usually <1 m deep), often with a surface layer of harrowed peat. Milled surfaces are large (up to 5 km2), flat and bare of vegetation. Their subsequent recolonization by plants is ...
