Despite only covering ~3 % of the land mass, peatlands store more carbon (C) per unit area than any other ecosystem. This is due to the discrepancy between C fixed by the plants (Gross primary productivity (GPP)) and decomposition. However, this C is vulnerable to frequent, severe droughts and changes in the peatland microclimate.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for improved infectious aerosol concentrations through interventions that reduce the transmission of airborne infections. The aims of this review were to map the existing literature on interventions used to improve infectious aerosol concentrations in hospitals and understand challenges in their implementation.
Methods: We reviewed peer-reviewed articles identified on three databases, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from inception to July 2024.

In recent years, more agricultural lands are been converted to photovoltaic (PV) power plants for better return on investment. However, prioritizing energy generation over food production poses a significant threat to the well-being of the rapidly growing global population. Agro-photovoltaics (APV) provide an opportunity to integrate crop production under PV panels.

Introduction: Dengue, a prevalent mosquito-borne viral disease in tropical regions, is influenced by environmental factors such as rainfall, temperature, and urbanization. This study aims to assess the effects of microclimate, vegetation, and Aedes species distribution on dengue transmission in distinct hotspot and non-hotspot locations.
Methods: This cohort study was conducted in two sites within Selangor, Malaysia: a recurrent dengue hotspot and a non-dengue hotspot.

Article Synopsis
- Urbanization is affecting landscapes and ecosystems, particularly in urban areas where trees play a vital role in regulating climate, air quality, and biodiversity.
- This study focuses on comparing tree leaf structures and environmental conditions between urban and suburban sites in the Chicago area, using Norway Maple and Little-leaved Linden as subjects.
- The research found that urban areas had higher temperatures and greater leaf trait variations, with Norway Maple showing higher gas exchange rates in urban settings, indicating greater water loss compared to suburban sites.
