Global change effects on plant communities are magnified by time and the number of global change factors imposed
(
National Academy of Sciences
, 2019 , Article)
Global change drivers (GCDs) are expected to alter community structure and consequently, the services that ecosystems provide. Yet, few experimental investigations have examined effects of GCDs on plant community structure ...
BTEX, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and ozone concentrations at traffic influenced and background urban sites in an arid environment
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Spatial distribution of key air pollutants were studied in Doha, Qatar, over the course of two monitoring campaigns in early spring, 2016. Time-weighted averages of BTEX components (benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene, ...
Geochemical composition of Aeolian dust and surface deposits from the Qatar Peninsula
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract The trace metal geochemistry of atmospheric dust and terrestrial surface particles were studied on the Qatar Peninsula from February 2014 to November 2015. We included samples of the mega dust-storm event on 01–02 ...
Pollution Characteristics of Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10) and Constituent Carbonaceous Aerosols in a South Asian Future Megacity
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
The future megacity of Faisalabad is of prime interest when considering environmental
health because of its bulky population and abundant industrial and anthropogenic sources of coarse particles (PM10) and fine airborne ...

© 2020, The Author(s). Official data on daily PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, CO, and maximum 8-h average O3 (O3_8h) concentrations from January 2015 to December 2018 were evaluated and air pollution status and dynamics in Shanghai ...
Do changes in current flow as a result of arrays of tidal turbines have an effect on benthic communities?
(
Public Library of Science
, 2016 , Article)
Arrays of tidal energy converters have the potential to provide clean renewable energy for future generations. Benthic communities may, however, be affected by changes in current speeds resulting from arrays of tidal ...

© 2019, The Author(s). Elemental composition of airborne dust samples retained by internal filters of air condition units (ACUs) was determined at 12 locations of Doha city, state of Qatar. Twenty-four elements: Al, Ca, ...
Assessing the vulnerability of socio-environmental systems to climate change along an altitude gradient in the Indian Himalayas
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Climate change is affecting biotic and abiotic components of the Himalayan ecosystem, disturbing existing socio-ecological systems. Future changes in the climate, coupled with ongoing development activities in the Himalayas, ...
An integrated approach for produced water treatment using microemulsions modified activated carbon
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, the physical and chemical characterization of produced water was done followed by treatment through sand filtration coupled with activated carbon microemulsion modified activated carbon techniques. The results ...
Systematic laboratory approach to produce Mg-rich carbonates at low temperature
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2021 , Article)
Dolomite is a common Mg-rich carbonate in the geological record, but the mechanism of its formation remains unclear. At low temperature, the incorporation of magnesium ions into the carbonate minerals necessary to form ...
