This study examines the long-run relationship between terms of trade (TOT) and real fishing-sector GDP in a small open economy, focusing on the Peruvian case. Despite the strategic importance of fisheries for exports, employment and foreign exchange generation, the extent to which external price conditions are associated with fishing-sector performance remains insufficiently explored in sector-level research. Building on the n...
Cu-based pesticides are widely used in vineyards to control fungal diseases, but their repeated application leads to Cu accumulation in soils, posing environmental and ecological risks. Since Cu mobility, bioavailability, and potential toxicity depend not only on total concentrations but also on chemical fractionation and ageing processes, this study investigated Cu speciation—including water-soluble Cu (Cu W ), exchangeable C...
Conventional and Environmental Life Cycle Costing of Water Resource Recovery FacilitiesNARA Subscribed
This study assessed the economic implications of extending conventional life cycle costing (cLCC) to environmental LCC (eLCC) in circular water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) in Portugal, Cyprus, and Spain. By integrating monetized environmental impacts from life cycle assessment, internal costs, and external environmental costs, normalized per m 3 of wastewater inflow, are compared. Operational costs were dominated by e...
When accidents occur, official investigations are carried out, and reports are generated, which are usually reviewed for safety improvements. The retrieval of information is typically performed manually, which can lead to biases, errors, and poor judgement. Moreover, manual reviews can be tedious and highly time-consuming tasks. For these reasons, the implementation of LLMs has been analysed in this context. However, previous...
The impact of earthquake-induced debris on the near-field tsunami pedestrian mobility and safety: Tumaco Island case of studyNARA Subscribed
Near-field tsunami evacuation planning depends on urban mobility, which can be severely impacted by earthquake-induced debris obstructing evacuation routes. However, most models overlook this factor, underestimating evacuation times. This study presents a comprehensive GIS-based methodology that integrates seismic damage and debris accumulation into pedestrian evacuation modelling. The methodology proposed was applied to Tumac...
Atmospheric Dispersal and Local Drivers Shape Snow and Air Microbial Communities in the Western Antarctic PeninsulaNARA Subscribed
Microbial communities in Antarctica's snow and atmosphere are critical for nutrient cycling and are highly sensitive to environmental change. We characterised the bacterial composition, diversity, and co‐occurrence network structure of surface snow and airborne microbiomes from two contrasting bays along the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP): Arturo Prat Base (APB; Chile Bay, Greenwich Island) and Yelcho Base (YB; South Bay, D...
Extreme sea levels along the Mexican coasts pose an increasing risk to coastal infrastructure and communities, particularly under the combined influence of tropical cyclones and ongoing sea-level rise. This study analyzes tide-gauge records from the Mexican Pacific and Gulf of Mexico–Caribbean coasts to characterize the statistical behavior and seasonal modulation of extreme sea-level residuals. Astronomical tides were removed...
Global Empirical Assessment of Marine Heatwaves’ Impacts on Fisheries Production and Economic ValueOA Marine
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have become increasingly frequent and intense, raising concerns about their impacts on fisheries production and economic value. We present a global assessment of MHW-related impacts across 2088 marine fisheries from 1985 to 2022. Using high-resolution satellite data and standardized catch production and catch value, we identified significant reductions in catch and ex-vessel value during years of elevat...
Exogenous Azotobacter vinelandii application as a component of integrated plant nutrient management in 'Hass' avocado cropsNARA Subscribed
Key message Application of Azotobacter vinelandii is a strategy for 'Hass' avocado at various phenological stages, showing a 25% decrease in chemical fertilizer use while improving growth and physiological performance . Abstract Azotobacter -based bio-stimulants increase soil nutrient availability, provide substances for plant growth, and reduce fertilizer needs. We examined drench Azotobacter vinelandii (Av) application with...
From the ground up: the evolution of structurally dependent plants in Hylocereeae (Cactaceae)NARA Subscribed
Structurally dependent plants have evolved six times independently in Cactaceae, where the tribe Hylocereeae is one of the two largest lineages in terms of number of species. To understand the acquisition of different ecological strategies of growth and its relation with the structural evolution of the stems, we have studied the morpho-anatomy of sixty-nine species from all genera of the Hylocereeae. Trait evolution analyses f...
