Producing reef habitat for entire ecosystems, oysters act as ecosystem engineers, whilst providing a vast number of ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, water filtration, sediment stabilization and carbon sequestration. Through centuries of intensive destructive fishing and more recently coastal ...
The complex, dynamic and non-linear characteristics of land use change (LUC) modelling necessitate the development of advanced models and methods. In this research, a novel and stepwise approach is developed for modelling integrated LUC at the regional level based on land suitability, land demand ...
Shanghai continues to pursue conventional urbanization policies, we estimate Shanghai will receive: 0.33 million tonnes less carbon sequestration; 0.31 billion m3less water supply; 0.22 million kg less nutrient removal; and 0.02 million tonnes less coastal erosion control (Fig.6). We also observe a...
Waste concrete fines Acid treatment Sand Silica-rich pozzolan Circular concrete Carbon sequestration 1. Introduction Waste concrete produced from construction and demolition is a major issue as it is produced in enormous quantities. It is currently predominantly downcycled as it is normally crushed and ...

A model that can assess the structure and functionality of the soil/plant/atmosphere (SPA) continuum along spatial and temporal gradients using specific an
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic lipid storage organelles. They are tightly linked to metabolism and can exert protective functions, making them important players in health and disease. Most LD studies in vivo rely on staining methods, providing only a s
In nations around the world, we are reaching out using engagement methods as diverse as the communities where we operate. For instance, in countries like Papua New Guinea, we have developed out- reach strategies that are sensitive to the local culture and customs (page 47). This report ...
Furthermore, these methods partly refer to the IPCC’s extensive approach of estimating annual carbon gains and losses in biomass. With respect to comparability, it should therefore be considered whether carbon sequestration and storage in wood biomass should also be estimated according to IPCC ...
This study applied qualitative methods to understand the most pressing water-energy-food-environment (WEFE) nexus challenges within the Upper White Nile (UWN) basin, how these can be reflected in indicators, and how existing WEFE nexus modelling tools could address these. 3.1. Semi-structure stake...
