Summary: This study analyzes the impact of land use/land cover (LULC) changes on land surface temperature (LST) in the Himalayan city of Srinagar using multi-temporal and multi-spectral satellite datasets. The results show that the built-up area has seen the maximum increase of 14%, while agriculture has decreased by about 21%. The findings can be useful for urban planners and policymakers in terms of land use planning and city thermal environment control.

Summary: Brook Trout populations have declined and become fragmented in Maryland, potentially impacting their future persistence. Management efforts should focus on habitat protection, stream restoration, and a comprehensive assessment framework that includes genetic considerations.

Summary: This paper evaluates the types of changes, associated uncertainties, and the relevance of the Portuguese backdating approach for consistent time-series of LULC maps. The results show that the national backdating methodology can remove important uncertainties in the CORINE layers distributed by the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service, and can be exported for CORINE production in other European countries.

Summary: The study aimed to determine if acclimation to warmer temperature can improve high-temperature hypoxia tolerance in fish. The results showed that acclimation to 18 degrees Celsius improved hypoxia tolerance at high temperatures, but this advantage was lost after reacclimation to 15 degrees Celsius.

Summary: The study predicts the impact of two extensive land cover changes in the Southwestern US on surface temperature using observational data, suggesting that shrub encroachment and tree mortality may lead to a 1 to 2 degree Celsius increase in midday surface temperature. Different biophysical properties drive the temperature change in each scenario, with tree mortality affecting aerodynamic conductance the most and reduced albedo and canopy conductance driving the increase in surface temperature following shrub encroachment. The increase in daytime surface temperature could be further intensified with future climate scenarios, particularly with the expected reduction in soil water availability in the Southwest.

Summary: Land-use/land cover changes have significant impacts on land surface temperature. This research focuses on the spatio-temporal changes in land-use/land cover and associated land surface temperature in northern Pakistan since 1987, and predicts future changes until 2047. The study finds that built-up areas and vegetation have increased, while barren land has decreased in the last 30 years. It is projected that built-up and vegetation classes will continue to increase, while barren land will decline in the future. The study also shows an increase in higher land surface temperature classes and a decrease in lower temperature classes.

Summary: The urban heat island phenomenon is becoming more severe with rapid urbanization. A numerical land model was used to study the impact of land use and land cover changes on UHI in Wuhan, China, from 1980 to 2013. The study found that the response intensity of UHI to LULC changes was stronger after 2000, especially in the region between the third ring road and the inner ring road of Wuhan.

Summary: With the rapid urban infrastructure expansion in China, the negative effects of urban warming and its challenges have become prominent. This study used long-term observations to investigate the dynamics of urban land surface temperature (LST) and predicted future trends. The results showed that the high temperature zone in the city is expanding and the urban heat island effect will continue to intensify. These findings are of great importance for local governments in formulating urban land management plans.

Summary: High-density human activities have had a significant impact on urban land use and ecosystem services, especially in ecologically fragile regions. In Ordos, a region in Northwest China, land use and cover changes have had a key influence on ecosystem services. The findings of this study highlight the challenges posed by urbanization to ecological protection and the need for more sustainable land use management.

Summary: This study quantitatively examined the contribution of LULC changes to temperature trends in Myanmar and Thailand, typical parts of Southeast Asia. The results showed that the decreases of forest land and cropland, as well as the expansions of settlements land fractions, were strongly correlated with the observed warming trends. The study provides scientific information for future development of more sustainable land use planning.

Summary: This article examines the impact of industrialization and urbanization on the ecosystem, analyzing land use and land cover changes in the Cachar district of India using remote sensing data and GIS, as well as their correlation with land surface temperature. The findings suggest that urbanization leads to an increase in land surface temperature, impacting the environment and health.

Summary: The study estimated the metabolic rate and aerobic capacity of lab-reared juvenile Brook Trout across a range of temperatures, showing that the fish exhibit adaptability at different temperatures and maintain similar physiological performance across a wide range of temperatures, indicating they are eurythermal.

Summary: By modeling and exploring the effects and mechanisms of land use and cover change (LUCC) on surface temperatures in China, this study found that recent LUCCs have led to cooling effects on the daily maximum surface temperature in summer and autumn, primarily in reforestation areas of southern China. The impacts on daily mean and minimum surface temperatures were weaker. The direct effects of LUCC, particularly cropland-to-forest conversions, played a dominant role in the cooling of the daily maximum surface temperature.

Summary: The goods and services provided by riverine systems are vital for humanity, but these systems are degrading worldwide despite restoration efforts. Designing restorations to promote microbial communities could enhance restoration effectiveness. Focusing on microbial diversity and function can improve resilience and assess restoration suitability. Advancements in next-generation sequencing allow the use of microbial 'omics techniques to assess river ecological conditions and advance assessment capabilities.
