Two decades of land cover change and forest fragmentation in Liberia: Consequences for the contribution of nature to people by Celio deSousa, Lola Fatoyinbo, Miroslav Honzák, Timothy Max Wright, Paulo Jose Murillo Sandoval, Zargou Elijah Whapoe, Jerry Yonmah, Emmanuel Temitope Olatunji, Jerry Garteh, Atticus Stovall, Christopher S. R. Neigh, Rosimeiry Portela, Keith D. Gaddis, Trond Larsen, Daniel Juhn

“…During the study period, 27% of the dense/primary forest class transitioned to either the open/secondary or sparse/degraded canopy classes through consistent fragmentation along the edges of the last large remaining blocks of dense/primary forest located in the north‐west and south‐east of Liberia and more than 14% of dense/primary forest areas identified in previous studies as “essential natural capital” for either biodiversity, forest carbon storage or provision of freshwater ecosystem services were degraded. The 2018 GEDI‐based measurements show that the overall average height of dense/primary forest decreases by 24% and 48%, and canopy closure decreases by 33% and 59%, when transitioned to the open/secondary and sparse/degraded classes, respectively. …”

Regional-Scale Distribution of Helium Isotopes in Aquifers: How Informative Are They as Groundwater Tracers and Chronometers? by Daniele Luigi Pinti, Marie Larocque, Pauline Méjean, Marion Saby, Mario Alberto Hernández-Hernández, Sylvain Gagné, Emilie Roulleau, Yuji Sano, Maria Clara Castro, Takuya Matsumoto, Viorel Horoi

“…The atmospheric and/or tritiogenic-rich helium occurs at the recharge in the Appalachians and in the middle of the plain, where impermeable cover is limited, and local infiltration of meteoric freshwater reaches the bedrock aquifer. The relation between the total dissolved solids (TDS) and ³He/⁴He ratios remains elusive. …”

Probabilistic risk assessment of pesticides under future agricultural and climate scenarios using a bayesian network by Sophie Mentzel, Merete Grung, Roger Holten, Knut Erik Tollefsen, Knut Erik Tollefsen, Marianne Stenrød, S. Jannicke Moe

“…The BN model was used to account for variabilities of the predicted pesticide exposure in agricultural streams, and inter-species variability in sensitivity to the pesticide among freshwater species. In Northern Europe, future climate scenarios typically predict increased temperature and precipitation, which can be expected to cause an increase in weed infestations, plant disease and insect pests. …”
