We examined the consequences of the spatial heterogeneity of atmospheric ammonia (NH₃) by measuring and modelling NH₃ concentrations and deposition at 25 m grid resolution for a rural landscape containing intensive poultry farming, agricultural grassland, woodland and moorland. The emission pattern gave rise to a high spatial variability of modelled mean annual NH₃ concentrations and dry deposition. Largest impacts were predicted for woodland patches located within the agricultural area, while larger moorland areas were at low risk, due to atmospheric dispersion, prevailing wind direction and low NH3 background. These high resolution spatial details are lost in national scale estimates at 1 km resolution due to less detailed emission input maps. The results demonstrate how the spatial arrangement of sources and sinks is critical to defining the NH₃ risk to semi-natural ecosystems. These spatial relationships provide the foundation for local spatial planning approaches to reduce environmental impacts of atmospheric NH₃.

Selective oxidation of benzylic C(sp)-H bonds to ketones is critical to the production of fine chemicals but typically requires toxic/precious metal catalysts under harsh conditions. While iron-based complexes have recently served as catalysts for photocatalytic C-H bond activation, most systems operate via homogeneous catalysis. Developing a light-driven strategy under visible light with O as an oxidant is of major importance.

Phase segregation remains one of the most critical challenges limiting the performance and long-term operational stability of wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells (PSCs). This issue is especially pronounced in 1.84 eV wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskites, where severe halide phase segregation leads to compositional heterogeneity and accelerated device degradation.

Clonorchiasis is a foodborne disease caused by parasites and transmitted to humans through intermediate hosts. Clonorchis sinensis parasitizes in the bile ducts of human liver and causes organ lesions. The cercariae and metacercaria of Clonorchis sinensis have seasonal variations and may be affected by high water temperature in summer.

Understanding the impact of climate change on human migration is critical for policymakers. Yet climate change can both incentivize people to migrate and reduce their ability to move, making its effect on human migration ambiguous. We propose an approach to studying migration that combines causal inference methods with cross-validation techniques to reliably estimate effects of weather on migration within and across borders.

Fishery stock assessments typically rely on biomass estimates derived from stratified random sampling, where a key assumption is a consistent spatial biomass distribution over time. However, climate-driven movements of marine species may be violating this assumption, potentially introducing biases into biomass estimates. To address this, we develop a spatially explicit data-driven mathematical modeling framework where species-specific movement is driven by environmental variables such as water temperature and geographic habitat preferences.
