A hydrological-year stratified regionalization framework for sediment rating curves in the largest tributary of the Mekong River

Study region The Mun River Basin in Thailand, the largest tributary of the Mekong River. Study focus Sparse sediment monitoring limits reliable sediment-load estimation across the Mun River Basin. Sediment rating curves (SRCs) provide a practical means of estimating sediment load...

Spatiotemporal patterns of antimicrobial resistance in shared human-animal waterpoints in the Maasai Mara Ecosystem, Kenya

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) presents an existential One Health threat. The spread of AMR in arid and semi-arid landscapes is modulated by ecological interactions and exacerbated by endemicity of livestock diseases and poor sanitation in shared human-animal systems leading to m...

Nonlinear proximity effects of linear cultural heritage as reflected in traditional village morphology along the Grand Canal

Linear cultural heritage is associated with the morphology of adjacent rural settlements, but its spatial effects remain insufficiently quantified. Using China’s Grand Canal as a case study, this study examined the non-linear relationship between Canal proximity and the morpholog...
