Analyzing long-term trends in rainfall and water levels is crucial for... More

Abstract:

A laboratory experiment was conducted to demonstrate the importance of improving the efficiency of six isolates of Aspergillus niger fungi. Four isolates were exposed to UV-rays radiation at a distance of 30 cm, a wavelength of 254–255 nm  during M₁₅, M₃₀, and M₄₅ minutes. Exposure periods, both of wild (no UV-rays exposure) and no A.niger (C) as controls, all six isolates were identified molecularly by polymerase chain... More

Abstract:

This experiment evaluated the effects of the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae, Azotobacter chroococcum bacteria, and Biochar on the characteristics of the root system, and yield of the cucumber plant, Cucumis sativus L.; for this purpose, experiment designed: the first factor is a combination of Mycorrhizae (M) at 35 g plant^–1, Azotobacter (A) 15 ml plant^–1 with a microbial density...

Abstract:

Power consumption increases annually, wherefore the air emissions during its production occasionally increase. One of the most promising trends of environmentally safe generation of electricity is the transition to oxygen-fuel power complexes operating on a carbon dioxide working medium, with a share of its capture up to 99%. It is worth noting that the breadth... More

Abstract:

Till date, no study on trends in extreme sea surface temperature (SST) for different return periods has been done over the Gulf of Tonkin (GoT). Based on a 84-year (1940-2023) ERA5 Reanalysis data sets, this study for the first time, examined the spatio-temporal pattern in extreme SST for different return periods. Findings showed that more...

Abstract:

This study investigates the adoption of carbon footprint tracking apps (CFAs) among Thai millennials, a critical element in addressing climate change. CFAs have yet to gain significant traction among users despite offering personalized missions. Employing an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework, we examine factors influencing CFA adoption intentions based on a sample of 30... More

Digital new quality productivity, characterized by the integration of advanced technologies, innovative business models, a new economic framework, and ongoing innovation, stands as a superior production factor. It plays... More

Abstract:

Under the “dual carbon” goal, local governments in China have strategically focused on enhancing capital utilization efficiency and enforcing environmental regulations to improve carbon emission performance. This dual approach targets the intertwined challenges of economic development and environmental protection. Utilizing data from 266 prefecture-level cities in China from 2007 to 2019, this study systematically investigates... More

Abstract:

A crucial impact of climate change is the disruption of the agricultural sector, posing a threat to food supply for the globally increasing population. In this context, prioritizing food security in each country becomes an important concern. This study aimed to explore biomass and C-Stock content of Sago forests for handling climate change and resilience.... More

Abstract:

This study investigates carbon dioxide (CO₂) sequestration and biomass distribution across various plant components and land use types in Ban Krang Subdistrict, Mueang District, Phitsanulok Province, with the goal of enhancing carbon management strategies. Field surveys were conducted using 14 plots of 40x40 meters to quantify biomass and estimate CO₂ sequestration across different vegetation types.... More

Abstract:

In a context where urban satellite image processing technologies are undergoing rapid evolution, this article presents an innovative and rigorous approach to satellite image classification applied to urban planning.

Abstract:

Climate change has well-documented psychological consequences for society. However, the emotional experiences of frontline conservation professionals remain underexplored. As key knowledge producers and participants in decision-making processes, conservation researchers play a crucial role in shaping and implementing adaptation and mitigation efforts, which are pivotal for effective climate planning. Understanding their emotional responses is essential for... More

Abstract:

Monitoring of the earth's surface has been significantly improved thanks to optical remote sensing by satellites such as SPOT, Landsat and Sentinel-2, which produce vast datasets. The processing of this data, often referred to as Big Data, is essential for decision-making, requiring the application of advanced algorithms to analyze changes in land cover. In the... More

Abstract:

The basement aquifers in Burkina Faso are increasingly exposed to groundwater pollution, largely due to socio-economic activities and climatic fluctuations, particularly the reduction in rainfall. This pollution makes the management and understanding of these aquifers particularly complex. To elucidate the processes controlling this contamination, a methodological approach combining principal component analysis (PCA) and multivariate statistical techniques...
