However, the effects of wind farms on vegetation have not been explored3. For example, life cycle assessments, which have been widely used to quantify the environmental impacts of wind farms across the life cycle15,16,17,18, have often excluded the impact on vegetation, even though there has...
Since its debut, the BRI has been conceptualized as the "Green Belt and Road" as the Chinese government is committed to sustainability, environmental protection, and international environmental standards. In 2015, the Belt and Road Initiative Action Plan was released by the Chinese government, outlin...

The NAWH has garnered significant research interest in terms of mechanisms of its formation and its potential impacts. Previously proposed mechanisms for NAWH development fall under two categories: ones that argue that the cooling trend is primarily ocean driven, and those with a role for both th...
One side of the argument is composed of wind proponents who advocate the environmental benefits of wind energy to tackle climate change and secure energy sources. On the other side of the argument are the opponents who are concerned with potential health and ecological impacts. Although wind has ...
Although local functional diversity was an important driver of productivity, environmental context underpinned the variation of productivity (and functional diversity) at larger spatial scales. In this study, we could show that the integration of remotely sensed information on forest composition and ...
Describe ways in which climate change is causing social or environmental crises. Assess the applicability/relevance of AI technologies for wind energy forecasting. Identify contexts and problems in which AI has been used and can be used in the context of climate change. ...
Jackson, a professor of Earth system science in the School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences (Stanford Earth) at Stanford University, sees the scope of a healthier society and greener economy in the latest study’s findings.In the following excerpts, he converses over the present ...
Unravelling biosphere feedback mechanisms is crucial for predicting the impacts of global warming. Soil priming, an effect of fresh plant-derived carbon (C) on native soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition, is a key feedback mechanism that could release
In the current study, a multivariate statistical method, GEFA, is used to study the oceanic and terrestrial regulators of the Sahel’s climate. The statistical GEFA approach extracts the forcing of a slowly-evolving environmental variable, such as SST or NDVI, on the rapidly-evolving atmosphere,...
