In this work, we studied an influence of ecological factors (a distance from the highway) on photosynthetic characteristics of leaves of four species of tree plants growing in Moscow city. Photosynthetic activity of leaves was assayed by instrumental methods of probing the functional state of photosynthetic apparatus, using electron paramagnetic resonance method for measuring the kinetics of photooxidation of P700 centers, thermoluminescence, and slow induction of chlorophyll fluorescence. It has been shown that kinetic parameters of the induction curves, as measured from the kinetics of photooxidation of P700 and slow induction of chlorophyll fluorescence in dark-adapted leaves, are sensible to variations of plant growing conditions. These parameters can be used as informative characteristics for ecological monitoring of the environment.

IUCN SSC Monitoring Specialist Group, Angra do Heroísmo, Azores, Portugal IUCN SSC Monitoring Specialist Group Angra do Heroísmo, Azores Portugal.

Background: Azorean biodiversity is relatively well-known following important scientific contributions during the last three decades. These have set a comprehensive species checklist for the Archipelago, improved significantly the knowledge on species abundance, ecology and distribution and have contributed to define priorities for conservation management and scientific research. Nevertheless, despite these efforts, a key functional group - the pollinators - remains poorly known in Azores, including their occurrence in different habitat-types and islands.

Urbanization have been significantly reshaping the form of urban areas and natural landscapes, leading to complex urban morphologies. In 2012, the Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification was proposed to address this issue and has since been widely adopted in urban climate studies globally. Despite its prevalence, literature on dynamic mapping of urban morphology remains sparse, making it difficult to delve into the study of urban renewal year by year.

Assessing sub-Saharan Africa's GHG emissions from croplands: environmental impacts and sustainable mitigation strategies.

Environ Monit Assess

Department of Environmental Management, Institute of Environmental Engineering, RUDN University, Miklukho-Maklaya Street, 117198, Moscow, Russia.

Globally, agricultural lands are among the top emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs), responsible for over 20% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Climatic conditions, an acute challenge in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where access to mitigation technologies remains limited, have heavily influenced these lands. This study explores GHG contributions from crop production and their devastating and deteriorating impacts on the economy and environment and proposes a sustainable solution.

School of Environment, South China Normal University, University Town, Guangzhou, China. Electronic address:

The extensive use of antibiotics has led to their frequent detection as residues in the environment. However, monitoring of their levels in groundwater and the associated ecological and health risks remains limited, and the impact of river pollution on groundwater is still unclear. This study focused on the highly urbanized Maozhou River and its groundwater.
