Recent Progress in Urban Forest Planning and Monitoring
In order to tackle key challenges related to sustainable urban development, urban forests are widely recognized as effective nature-based solutions. Accordingly, several strategies and tree-planting campaigns are being launched worldwide, highlighting the need for synergies between central government regulations and local authorities' implementation. Besides the issue of multiple planning levels, advancing knowledge on other relevant topics is increasingly needed for making urban forestry and greening truly effective. In this respect, this Special Issue brings together a collection of theoretical models and empirical studies that offer significant insights into the progress of urban green planning and monitoring. The published contributions address a range of key themes, including multi-disciplinary planning of urban and suburban green infrastructure, the integration of environmental, societal, and economic challenges, and the enhancement of landscape ecological connectivity. Further topics explored include biodiversity conservation, the dynamics of ecosystem services and disservices across different spatial and temporal scales, urban resilience to climate and habitat changes, and innovative approaches to ecosystem monitoring. Altogether, these contributions provide a comprehensive overview of research and practices, offering valuable perspectives for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in sustainable urban development and restoration.
Environmental Catalysis and Air Pollution Control
This reprint delves into cutting-edge research on the removal of common air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), soot, and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). Catalytic oxidation emerges as a highly effective approach for eliminating VOCs, CO, and soot, while adsorption techniques are explored for NOx and SO₂ control. Beyond traditional catalytic methods, the reprint also examines innovative hybrid strategies, such as the integration of catalysis with plasma technology and ozone (O₃) oxidation. Through a comprehensive analysis of diverse catalysts and catalytic processes, this work provides valuable insights into their design, performance, and practical applications in air pollution control. By highlighting advancements in catalyst and adsorbent development, as well as their synergistic combination with physical methods, this reprint aims to drive progress in air pollution control technologies. Ultimately, it contributes to the pursuit of more efficient solutions for a cleaner and healthier environment.
Abiotic Selection in Earth Surface Systems
This book is about abiotic selection in Earth surface systems. It demonstrates that seemingly purposeful or goal-oriented phenomena in Earth's processes actually emerge from selection dynamics. While many think of selection in the context of biological evolution, it extends to abiotic processes crucial in understanding Earth's function and evolution. The author delineates four forms of geophysical selection: gradient, resistance, network, and thermodynamic. These selections manifest in various natural systems, from fluid flows shaping landscapes to the efficient transport of mass and energy. The book acknowledges the interplay of geophysical and ecological processes, employing them as pedagogical tools. Structured with an introduction to abiotic selection and its context, the book delves into the application of key principles--such as thermodynamics and flow dynamics--to Earth surface systems. Each subsequent chapter examines one of the four types of selection, featuring diverse real-world examples from climate dynamics to oceanography. Geared toward researchers, graduate students, and practitioners in fields such as geophysics, geology, geography, hydrology, and ecosystem sciences, it also appeals to those interested in evolutionary thinking beyond traditional life sciences.
