Widespread and systematic effects of fire on plant–soil water relations Fire affects the hydrological interactions between soil and vegetation, leading to faster soil moisture loss and accelerated vegetation water uptake, according to a global analysis of satellite observations on soil moisture, vegetation...
Without water, life as we know it would not be possible. However, water resources are facing numerous challenges. Population growth, urbanization, and industrialization have increased the demand for water. Climate change is also affecting the availability and quality of water. In some areas, ...
So, it is also called the water-activated battery, and there is no such thing as a toxic substance that can affect the environment. As a result, it can also be considered a clean energy source. The priority was to use raw materials concerning cost and availability. This paper explains ...
Anearth batteryis a type of water-activated battery that produces an electrical current using electrochemical reactions in the soil. Made from just four simple components - copper cathodes, zinc anodes, copper wires, and wet earth - an earth battery produces enough energy to power lamps and radio...
Cold seeps, which are found in submarine environments, play a significant role in transporting materials and energy to the ocean. These seeps also support thriving chemotrophic autotroph communities and are associated with important natural gas hydrate resources. Moreover, they have a profoundly impact...
Freshwater use and allocated water rights at Salar de Atacama appear to not meet sustainable metrics Plain Language Summary Lithium is a critical resource for the green energy transition as the primary component in lithium-ion batteries. Most of the planet's resources occur in water-scarce environme...
The universal and deep-seated importance of phosphorus in biology, from its role as a structural component to the basic energy currency of all living cells, has long suggested that it was incorporated early in the history of life1. However, beyond its biological utility, recent advances in preb...
In this study, a data-driven approach employed by utilizing the product called JRC-Global surface water mapping layers V1.4 on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) to map and monitor the effects of climate change on surface water resources. Key climatic variabl
