High concentrations of ground-level ozone have a negative impact on human health and the environment, especially in urban places. Detailed knowledge on the effects of nitrogen dioxide on the ozone seasonal pattern is convenient to prevent these undesirable effects. Thus, the joint multifractal approach has been used to complete the information provided by descriptive statistics. The joint multifractal spectra were obtained for 10-min [O3] and [NO2] time series, recorded at Córdoba (southern Spain) in 2007, revealing the presence of two main seasonal patterns: autumn-winter and spring-summer. From the study of the joint multifractal spectra, different variability in the high and low [O3] values was found depending on the concentration of NO2 in each season.

The spatial distribution of plant, soil, and microbial carbon pools, along with their intricate interactions, presents a great challenge for the current carbon cycle research. However, it is not clear what are the characteristics of the spatial variability of these carbon pools, particularly their cross-scale relationships. We investigated the cross-scale spatial variability of microbial necromass carbon (MNC), soil organic carbon (SOC) and plant biomass (PB), as well as their correlation in a tropical montane rainforest using multifractal analysis.

Long-range hoppings in quantum disordered systems are known to yield quantum multifractality, the features of which can go beyond the characteristic properties associated with an Anderson transition. Indeed, critical dynamics of long-range quantum systems can exhibit anomalous dynamical behaviors distinct from those at the Anderson transition in finite dimensions. In this paper, we propose a phenomenological model of wave packet expansion in long-range hopping systems.

Climate change and anthropogenic activities are major influences on the hydrological cycle, further altering river hydrological health. However, the characteristics of the forces in driving the variations of hydrological health at long-short time scales (annual, seasonal, monthly), as well as the potential impacts of these variations on aquatic habitats, remain unclear. In this study, the flow threshold method was introduced to identify the inherent characteristics of river hydrological health degree (RHD) evolution in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River (URYR) through the extreme-point symmetric modal decomposition (ESMD) method and range of variation approach (RVA).

The behavior of tropical river systems is driven by some internal and external factors. Understanding the role of these external forces, such as large-scale oscillations, on river discharge will provide insight into their dynamic complexities and modelling. In this study, the role of teleconnection patterns and solar activity on river discharges within the Niger basin was considered using both linear (correlation) and nonlinear (multifractal and joint recurrence analysis) statistical approaches.
