Synthesizing Landsat images using time series model-fitting methods for China’s coastal areas against sparse and irregular observations by Chao Sun, Jialin Li, Yongchao Liu, Tingting Pan, Ke Shi, Xinyao Cai

“…Then, we combined the threshold segmentation and ridge regression approaches to address the fake cloud problem, which sometimes contaminates synthetic Landsat images in summer. All cloud-free real Landsat images from five typical sites along China’s coasts during 1986–2020 were used to evaluate the accuracy and robustness of the synthetic Landsat images generated using our proposed methods. …”

Distribution Characteristics and Ecological Risk Assessment of Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) in Different Water Sources, Soil Profiles and Rice Crops Under Rura... by Menghua Xiao, Caijie Yang, Lei Wang, Shizong Zheng, Ling Xiong, Peipei Kong, Jiafang Cai

“…The ecological risk assessment showed that ibuprofen (IBU) was a high-risk substance pollutant, triclocarban (TRIC) was a medium-risk pollutant, ofloxacin (OFL) was a low-risk pollutant, while the other PPCPs were all risk-free pollutants under RDRW irrigation. Therefore, R3 water sources can be selected for direct agricultural irrigation, while direct irrigation of R1 and R2 water sources should be avoided.…”
