Health impacts of extreme heat in medically at-risk populations
Our findings indicated that chronic diseases are associated with higher vulnerability to adverse health effects due to extreme heat. We observed notable variations across geographic, demographic, and socioeconomic subgroups, emphasizing the need for targeted public health strategies
Residential tree canopy configuration and mortality in 6 million Swiss adults
National Research Foundation, Prime Minister's Office, Singapore under its Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise programme and ETH Zurich
The impact of ecosystem nitrogen enrichment on pollen allergy
Social network analysis of conservation and one health governance in Madagascar
Spatial configuration of green space matters
Residential green space, gardening, and subjective well-being
Mapping abundance distributions of allergenic tree species in urbanized landscapes
Tree pollen allergy risks and changes across scenarios in urban green spaces in Brussels, Belgium
Residential green space types, allergy symptoms and mental health in a cohort of tree pollen allergy patients
Association between urban environment and mental health in Brussels, Belgium
These findings have important implications because most of the Brussel's population resides in areas where particulate matters concentrations are above the World Health Organization guidelines. This suggests that policies aiming to reduce traffic related-air pollution could also reduce the burden of depressive disorders in Brussels
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
Fossil Evidence of Dogu’a Tembien’s Environmental Past
Biodiversity and human health
Introduction: Natural environments and green spaces provide ecosystem services that enhance human health and well-being. They improve mental health, mitigate allergies and reduce all-cause, respiratory, cardiovascular and cancer mortality. The presence, accessibility, proximity and greenness of green spaces determine the magnitude of their positive health effects, but the role of biodiversity (including species and ecosystem diversity) within gre…
Status of Native Woody Species Diversity and Soil Characteristics in an Exclosure and in Plantations of Eucalyptus globulus and Cupressus lusitanica in Northern Ethiopia
Exclusion of grazing animals and tree plantations are 2 methods that have been used for restoration of degraded lands in tropical semiarid areas. These 2 options can foster secondary forest succession by improving soil conditions, attracting seed-dispersal agents, and modifying microclimate for understory growth. We compared native woody plant diversity and soil chemical and physical attributes under exclosure and on Eucalyptus globulus (EGP) and…

The accumulation of Stone Age lithic artifacts in rock fragment mulches in northern Ethiopia
Lithic artifacts buried in the soil profile may be transported to the surface during tillage‐induced kinetic sieving, differential erosion, or swell–shrink cycles of clays and become part of a rock fragment mulch. Archaeologically, these manifestations are recognized as surface scatters. Although artifacts at the soil surface are difficult to relate to the local stratigraphic context, surface assemblages may provide information on lithic industri…
