This study provides a comprehensive assessment of long-term climate change, anthropogenic activities, and corresponding vegetation dynamics by utilizing multiple remotely sensed datasets and employing various statistical approaches and modeling techniques at annual, seasonal, and monthly scales from 2000 to 2022. Non-parametric trend analyses indicate a significant increase in air temperature (0.25 °C/year, p &lt; 0.05) and a notable decline in rainfall (−33.7 mm/year, p &lt; 0.05), alongside increases in potential evapotranspiration and decreases in both soil moisture (−1.3 mm/year) and groundwater storage (−1.52 mm/year). These climatic and hydrological changes exhibit strong associations with vegetation cover. A significant reduction in regional greenness, as indicated by the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI = −0.62), is observed primarily in the lowland plains of northern Tanzania, while slight increases are noted in higher-elevation regions. Additionally, anthropogenic activities also play a critical role in regional vegetation degradation. Approximately 80 % of the vegetation loss in the southeastern plains is attributed to unsustainable human activities. The study revealed a strong positive correlation between rainfall and vegetation productivity (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.91, p &lt; 0.05), whereas temperature shows a significant negative correlation (R<sup>2</sup> = −0.81, p &lt; 0.05). Notably, the observed decline in EVI is closely linked to reduced rainfall (R<sup>2</sup> = −0.79, p &lt; 0.05), emphasizing the pivotal role of climatic parameters in influencing vegetation dynamics. Quantifying these variations in relation to climatic, hydrological, and anthropogenic drivers is essential for the development of effective and sustainable vegetation restoration strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54616,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of the Earth","volume":"141 ","pages":"Article 104064"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144878355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a novel hybrid approach integrating a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a long short-term memory (LSTM) network was developed for FVs prediction, utilizing 8670 datasets from three wells in a Middle Eastern gas field. This method, the first of its kind applied to geophysical applications, effectively captures the temporal relationships between well logs and input/output data, significantly enhancing prediction accuracy. Pearson correlation analysis reveals negative correlations between FVs and measured depth (MD), caliper (cP), shallow resistivity (RES-SHT), density (RHOB), and formation pressure wave velocity (FVp). In contrast, positive correlations are observed with deep resistivity (RES-DEP), gamma ray (GR), porosity (NPHI), and medium resistivity (RES-MED). Elevated RES-DEP, cP, GR, RES-SHT, and FVs values are associated with higher FV estimates. The CNN-LSTM hybrid model outperforms other algorithms, maintaining high accuracy when applied to an additional well (V3), thereby demonstrating its robustness and effectiveness for shear wave velocity prediction.

An analysis of the light hydrocarbon components and triarylsterane parameters of the Ordovician oil confirmed that the oil was produced from the mature to highly mature stage and was sourced primarily from the lower Cambrian Yuertusi Formation. A significant discovery from this investigation is the gradual increase in aromatic parameters of crude oil, including methyl dibenzothiophene (4-MDBT/1-MDBT) and the trimethylnaphthalene index (TMNr), indicating two fluid migration routes—vertical and lateral—for hydrocarbons within the carbonate platform margin.

To investigate the information response of resistivity and ultrasonic to oil-contaminated soil, this paper studied the variation of resistivity and ultrasonic velocity of oil-contaminated soil with moisture content (4 %–12 %) and oil content (3 %–15 %). The results indicate that moisture content is the primary factor influencing the soil's electrical conductivity. When the oil content is between 3 % and 15 %, the resistivity of oil-contaminated soil decreases with the increase of moisture content. The more water in soil pores, the better the soil conductivity and the lower the resistivity. When the soil is in a low saturation state, oil will hinder the soil's electrical conductivity. When the moisture content is below 6 %, the resistivity of the soil shows an increasing trend with the increase of oil content. However, as the moisture content increases, the influence of oil content on resistivity gradually weakens. When the sample's wet density is constant, the soil porosity increases with higher moisture and oil content, resulting in a decrease in wave velocity of the oil-contaminated soil. The influence of moisture on ultrasonic waves is more significant.

The <em>K-Re</em><sub><em>n</em></sub> relationship, adjusted with experimental data, was used as input in a numerical model developed in EPANET. The model accurately reproduced the experimental results, demonstrating the system's potential for small-scale water treatment applications.

These findings underscore the importance of optimizing filter design and maintenance for scalability in community-level water treatment. This study highlights the potential of sargassum as a sustainable biofilter for improving water quality, while addressing challenges related to hydraulic performance and energy efficiency.

The findings reveal a strong negative correlation between AOD and NDVI, with increased dust pollution from mining contributing to vegetation decline. NDVI analysis shows that mining regions experience lower vegetation cover and slower recovery than non-mining areas, particularly during dry periods when precipitation is limited. These results underscore the urgent need for sustainable mining policies, enhanced dust mitigation measures, and ecosystem restoration efforts to counteract the adverse environmental effects of bauxite mining in Jamaica.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54616,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of the Earth","volume":"140 ","pages":"Article 104058"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144852160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
