Serious threat to biodiversity hotspots due to mountain forests being lost at accelerating rate
Previously, forest loss primarily occurred in lowlands where forests are easy to access, and mountain areas had limited forest loss due to their rugged location. However, since the turn of the 21st century, mountain forests have been increasingly exp

Researchers develop membrane-free electrochemical system for high-efficient and high-purity phosphate recovery
Phosphorus (P) is often regarded as the primary stimulant for eutrophication, while its vital role in industrial and environmental development is also well acknowledged. Given its future scarcity, P recycling from waste streams is suggested and pract

Developing dynamic engineering adaptive pathway to reduce flood risk in coastal cities under deep uncertainty based on “regret” theory
Uncertainty in sea level rise and future extreme climate events presents a great planning challenge for flood defence in coastal mega cities like Shanghai. While academic literature has largely focused on uncertainty analysis, engineering solution de

Researchers create framework to identify antibiotic-resistance genes and antibiotic-resistant bacteria in nanopore reads
Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent discharge could induce resistome enrichment in the receiving water environments. However, because of the general lack of a robust antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) identification method, the driving mechan

Surface wind speed reversal in China and its impact on wind power and sand-dust storm
Global wind speed has been reported to reverse after a long period of decreasing. Increased wind speed can not only bring additional wind power but also increase the risk of sand-dust storms. The quantifying of the impact is important for wind power
