Synthesis of dominant plastic microfibre prevalence and pollution control feasibility in Chinese freshwater environments (2021)
Journal Article

Microplastic pollution of freshwaters is known to be a great concern in China and these pollutants can be discharged into the coastal environment through fluvial processes, posing threats to the global marine ecosystem. This paper reviewed the litera... Read More about Synthesis of dominant plastic microfibre prevalence and pollution control feasibility in Chinese freshwater environments.

Review of gender, socioeconomic status, and ethnic background considerations reported in active school travel intervention studies (2021)
Journal Article

Introduction: Trends over the last half century have shown that fewer children today are engaging in active modes of travel to and from school than in previous generations. Interventions promoting active school travel (AST) can be effective at revers...

Simulating land use changes, sediment yields, and pesticide use in the Upper Paraguay River Basin: Implications for conservation of the Pantanal wetland (2021)
Journal Article

As a consequence of accelerated and excessive use of pesticides in tropical regions, wilderness areas are under threat; this includes the Pantanal wetlands in the Upper Paraguay River Basin (UPRB). Using a Land Cover Land Use Change (LCLUC) modelling... Read More about Simulating land use changes, sediment yields, and pesticide use in the Upper Paraguay River Basin: Implications for conservation of the Pantanal wetland.

Different sets of traits explain abundance and distribution patterns of European plants at different spatial scales (2021)
Journal Article

Aim: Plant functional traits summarize the main variability in plant form and function across taxa and biomes. We assess whether geographic range size, climatic niche size, and local abundance of plants can be predicted by sets of traits (trait syndr...

Vulnerabilities associated with slow-onset events (SoEs) of climate change: multi-level analysis in the context of Pakistan (2021)
Journal Article

This paper explores physical, psychological, social, and institutional vulnerabilities associated with slow-onset events (SoEs) of climate change. Based on review of interdisciplinary research in the context of Pakistan, this paper reviews the releva...

Co-occurrence frequency in vegetation patches decreases towards the harsh edge along an arid volcanic elevational gradient (2021)
Journal Article

Positive plant-plant interactions are thought to drive vegetation patterns in harsh environments, such as semi-arid areas. According to the stress-gradient hypothesis (SGH), the role of positive interactions between species (facilitation) is expected...
