Summary: Soil conservation service is crucial for suppressing soil erosion and assessing it accurately is important for regional ecological protection and environmental security. However, limited research has been done on ecosystem service prediction due to the lack of high-resolution meteorological data. This study introduces the dynamical downscaling method to predict the temporal-spatial characteristics of soil conservation service using the WRF model and SWAT model. The results provide scientific support for ecological construction and management.

Summary: Due to global warming, extreme temperatures have become more frequent and intense, especially in dry regions, with devastating consequences for the Amu river basin in Central Asia. This study projected warm and cold extremes for different socioeconomic scenarios in the basin using climate models. The results showed that the west of the basin would experience more hot extremes, while the east would see more cold extremes. The annual mean of maximum and minimum temperatures would significantly increase, with the increase in minimum temperatures being higher than maximum temperatures. This would lead to an increase in hot extremes and a decrease in cold extremes, with the west experiencing a higher increase in hot extremes and the east experiencing a higher decrease in cold extremes.

Summary: This study simulated the hot moments of soil N2O emissions and mineral N leaching in a mixed landscape of tea garden, bamboo forest, and coniferous and broadleaved mixed forests. The results showed that the hot moments mainly occurred during dry years, summer, months with high air temperature, and months after fertilization. Temperature, precipitation, and fertilization were identified as the main factors controlling the formation of hot moments. The tea garden was the concentrated hot spot area, and soil properties such as carbon/nitrogen ratio and slope also influenced the formation of hot moments. Comprehensive consideration of fertilizer management, climate, and soil properties is crucial to alleviate the formation of hot spots and hot moments of N losses.

Summary: In this study, the authors analyzed the climate variables and hydrological factors in the Beiluo River Basin, China using geostatistical and trend analysis. They also assessed land use/cover change (LUCC) using chord diagrams and quantified the contributions of climate change and human activities to runoff change. The results showed significant increases in annual precipitation and actual evapotranspiration, a minor upward trend in annual runoff, and a slight decrease in annual potential evapotranspiration. Climate variables were found to be the primary contributor to runoff decrease, while human activities, linked to increasing LUCC, accounted for runoff change in later years. This study provides a theoretical basis for regional water resource management under the influence of climate change and human activities.

Summary: This study used regional climate model (RCM), COSMO Climate Limited-area Model (CCLM), coupled with a hydrological model, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), to assess the impact of climate change on water resources in the Upper Blue Nile River Basin. The results show that future climate change is projected to increase potential evapotranspiration and surface runoff, while decreasing total water yield of the Basin. Additionally, the contribution of baseflow to total water yield is expected to decline, which will have significant implications for water management in the Basin.

Summary: Land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) is important in natural resource management, environmental modelling, and agricultural production management. However, LULCC detection and modelling is a complex process in remote sensing due to the large amount of data involved and the need to consider different factors. Machine learning has not yet had a significant impact on LULCC modelling, especially in predicting urbanization and crop yields, because land cover types are dynamic at a local scale and influenced by various natural and human factors. Challenges in using machine learning for LULCC modelling include detecting and predicting LULC evolutionary processes, considering the applicability and feasibility of different approaches, and incorporating local ecological, hydrological, and socio-economic drivers into the analysis.

Summary: Understanding the impact of land use/land cover change on hydrology is crucial for sustainable water resource management. This study used the SWAT model to assess the effect of land use/land cover change on runoff in the Rur basin, Germany. The model was calibrated and validated using observed data from 2000 to 2015, and statistical parameters were used to evaluate its performance. The results showed that the SWAT model captured the spatio-temporal patterns and effects of land use/land cover change on stream runoff, despite the heterogeneity of runoff responses. The study found that the conversion from deciduous forest to urban settlements, agricultural land, or grasslands increased the overall basin runoff by 43%, 14%, and 4% respectively.

Summary: In this study, a human physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of diethyl phthalate (DEP) was developed to assess its toxicity. The model considers the distribution and metabolism of DEP and its active metabolite monoethyl phthalate (MEP) in different tissue compartments. Sensitivity analysis and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations were performed to evaluate the uncertainty and variability of the model parameters. The results suggest that dermal absorption is an important route of exposure to DEP in the environment.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility and mechanisms of a chemical-free nanobubble-based AOP for treating organic micropollutants in water. The results show that the oxygen nanobubble AOP has a significantly higher removal efficiency compared to air and nitrogen nanobubbles. The treatment performance is not affected by pH and the presence of ions. Higher initial concentrations of the micropollutant lead to slower treatment processes, but similar removal performance is achieved in the end. The presence of organic matter reduces the removal rate of the micropollutant. The results have practical feasibility for water and wastewater treatment.

It was found that increasing the application of thiencarbazone-methyl center dot isoxaflutole resulted in increased stress on soil bacterial community structure and diversity. Increasing soil pH was recognized as a key factor in improving the diversity and structure of soil microflora. Supplemental use of nitrapyrin or modified attapulgite can increase soil pH and improve bacterial diversity.
