Although a series of indices have been proposed, they have largely overlooked the performance in characterizing regional or local drought, which is significant in acknowledging the impacts of drought on regional carbon cycling. To extract site-specific optimal drought index for vegetation in China, vegetation net primary production (NPP) estimated by Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon Flux model, was compared with 11 worldwide-used indices, through sensitivity analysis and Generalizes Estimation Equation method. It was found that NPP in northern areas were significantly sensitive and correlated to 7 ~ 11 drought indices, whereas southern areas were sensitive to 1 ~ 4 indices. Among the drought indices, moisture index was highlighted as the best one, followed by standardized precipitation index, effective drought index, drought reconnaissance index, and standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index. Using optimal drought indices for local applications, the dynamics of drought and its impact on vegetation were quantified from 2000 to 2022. A general increase in vegetation NPP and decrease in drought were demonstrated in major northern and eastern areas. Moderately-extremely drought led to > 20% and even > 40% loss in NPP across northern and northwestern areas, much larger than the loss in southern areas. Moreover, forests were exposed to a mean loss of −20.1% and standard deviation of 13.2% in NPP, smaller than croplands and grasslands. These results contribute to a better understanding of drought dynamic and coupling of vegetation production, and guide for planning mitigations in drought-prone hotpots to ensure region's resilience.","PeriodicalId":54840,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Informatics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147894812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on an integration interval mathematical programming (IPP), fractional programming (FP) and joint chance-constraint programming (JCCP), ICSFP can systematically reflect various complexities in emergency evacuation systems such as multiple uncertainties and controversial targets. Specifically, the copula approach is introduced into ICSFP to reflect nonlinear dependence among random variables and further characterize the interaction among violations of single factors on the desired evacuation schemes and the associated risk levels. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed approach, ICSFP is applied to support emergency evacuation management subject to nuclear power plant accidents. The results indicate that the interactions among the traffic flows would pose apparent impacts on the desired evacuation plans, especially for the demand conditions (i.e., lower bound of unit cost). Comparison among the developed ICSFP model and traditional evacuation models (interval evacuation models and interval fractional evacuation model) suggests that ICSFP is advantageous in balancing conflicting objectives and reflecting interactions among dependent random variables to make trade-offs among system risks and unit costs.","PeriodicalId":54840,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Informatics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147896115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results indicated that hyperparameter tuning generally enhanced classification performance, with the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) classifier showing the highest performance. The study also highlighted the trade-off between performance improvement and computational cost, i.e., enhanced classification accuracy at the expense of increased execution time. Notably, hyperparameter sensitivity varied among ML classifiers. For example, the Multinomial Naive Bayes classifier was less sensitive to hyperparameter tuning under certain term-weighting schemes. These findings provide new insights into the relationships between hyperparameter optimization, classification performance, and computational efficiency in environmental text classification.

The breeding and overwintering populations of P. canaliculata have increased during its gradual northward expansion over the past 40 years. There is a high likelihood that P. canaliculata can overwinter in areas conducive to breeding due to the impacts of a changing climate. Yet, the potential future changes in the range of P. canaliculata and associated climatic determinants remain unclear. This study examined the relationship between the limits of geographic distribution and key climate variables determining suitability for P. canaliculata breeding and wintering periods using the ensemble species distribution models from the R package BIOMOD2. Future climate suitability and changes were assessed under two representative concentration pathways (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5). The predictions indicated that P. canaliculata is most sensitive to monthly minimum temperature and that this species will extend its breeding range towards northern latitudes and will establish increased wintering locations in China. The predictions for both breeding and overwintering populations suggest a northward shift in the most suitable habitat, a reduction of highly suitable areas in the south, and an increase in suitable areas along the center and east of the Yangtze River Basin extending further northwards. Within the context of an overall expansion in P. canaliculata and climate warming, there should be a focus on the center of the Yangtze River Basin in which this species can overwinter for breeding only. Early monitoring and proactive measures to effectively prevent further spread of this species should be prioritized in this region characterized by abundant rice cultivation and fish breeding.\u0000","PeriodicalId":54840,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Informatics","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141574547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Tibetan Plateau (TP), often referred as “the third pole of the earth”, is highly sensitive to global climate change, and exhibits an early warning signal of global warming. Although many studies detected soil δ13C variability at site scales, there is still a knowledge gap existing in the spatial pattern of soil δ13C across the TP. In this study, we compiled a database of 198 topsoil δ13C observations from published literatures and used a modified multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network algorithm to predict the spatial pattern of topsoil δ13C and β (indicating the decomposition rate of soil organic carbon (SOC), calculated as δ13C divided by logarithmically converted SOC) at 500m resolution. Results showed that MLP model effectively predicted topsoil δ13C with a model efficiency of 0.72 and a root mean square error of 1.16‰. Topsoil δ13C varied significantly across different ecosystem types (p < 0.001) with a mean δ13C of –25.89 ± 1.15‰ (mean ± standard deviation) for forests, –24.91 ± 1.03‰ for shrublands, –22.95 ± 1.44‰ for grasslands, and –18.88 ± 2.37‰ for deserts. Furthermore, there was an increasing trend of predicted δ13C from the southeastern to the northwestern TP, likely linked to vegetation type and climatic conditions. β values were low in the eastern TP and higher in the northern and northwestern TP, indicating faster SOC turnover rate in the east TP compared to the north and northwest. This study represents the first effort to develop a fine resolution product of topsoil δ13C and β across the TP, which could provide an independent, data-driven benchmark for biogeochemical cycling models to study SOC turnover and terrestrial carbon-climate feedback over the TP under climate change.\u0000","PeriodicalId":54840,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Informatics","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141574545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article’s goal is to acquire insight into how the methods of payment affect perishable product inventory selections under the widely utilised carbon tax regime in view of policies to reduce emissions. Uncertainty arises as a natural consequence of the unpredictable behaviour of customers. Keeping these impacts in mind, an interval-valued inventory model is introduced, where all the related inventory parameters are considered interval-valued. In addition, the vendor offers an interval-valued discount rate to customers against advance payment. Due to the inventory parameters being chosen as interval-valued, the objective function is changed into an interval-valued form, and the corresponding differential equation is changed into an interval differential equation. To solve the interval-valued differential equation, a parametric approach to interval is introduced, and the corresponding interval-valued objective function is constructed. Interval order relations and the MATHEMATICA software are used to solve the objective function with interval values.

Unfortunately, filamentous algal blooms occur every summer in Lake Diefenbaker Irrigation Canals. These algae are not toxic but a nuisance. They block farmers’ pumps and reduce irrigation water flow rates. Currently, the Water Security Agency periodically adds the algaecide Magnacide H. to control the algal blooms, which is costly (i.e., one million dollars per year for the Lake Diefenbaker M1 Irrigation Canal only) and requires effort to dewater the canal to protect fish. Therefore, algae removal before the canal water enters farmer’s pumps might be a cost-effective alternative, especially the removal of microalgae during the initial stages of growth in June of each year. This paper has summarized and evaluated algae removal technologies, considering their advantages, disadvantages, and potential solutions for addressing the challenges and limitations associated with these technologies. Five algae removal technologies were identified as promising, which are suspended air flotation (SAF), dissolved air flotation (DAF), hydrodynamic cavitation, spiral blade centrifuge, and coagulation. Among them, SAF seems the most suitable option, while DAF and hydrodynamic cavitation offer eco-friendly advantages. Further research and pilot testing are needed to determine the costeffective and feasible algae removal technology for Lake Diefenbaker Irrigation Canals.\u0000","PeriodicalId":54840,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Informatics","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141574482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, few research has been conducted on the exhaust emissions characteristics of liquified natural gas (LNG) buses under different driving scenarios. This study proposed a framework for predicting exhaust emissions of LNG buses based on the portable emission measurement system and GPS collaborative perception data. Firstly, the emission distribution characteristics of CO2, CO, HC, and NOx from LNG buses in real-world driving were analyzed by visualization methods. Then, the real-time exhaust emissions of LNG buses were predicted based on the temporal fusion transformers model for both urban and suburban sections of Zhenjiang City, and the model validity was verified. The current and past 10 s driving states were used for predicting the emission rate of LNG buses. The results showed that the proposed model outperforms other advanced algorithms in real-time exhaust emissions prediction of LNG buses, with an average R2 value higher than 0.94 and an average MAPE reduction of 14.19%. The error assessment revealed that the emission values and average emission rates are higher when driving in the urban section compared to the suburban section. Among the influencing factors, traffic conditions have the most significant impacts on the exhaust emissions of LNG buses, followed by road conditions and driving states, with relative feature importance of 48.9, 34.8, and 16.3%, respectively.
