Assessing Bivalves as Biomonitors of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Coastal Environments by Shannon E. Jones (17558652)

“…The isomer distribution and precursor-to-terminal compound ratios provide compelling evidence that the biotransformation of PFAS precursors likely drives these elevated factors. Additionally, the bioaccumulation factors of PFAS decrease with increasing organism size and age, suggesting that smaller and younger bivalves have greater bioaccumulation potential and are more susceptible to PFAS contamination. …”

Results of RF algorithm screening factors. by Jintao Li (448681)

“…For instance, the RF-MLPR model achieved a 3.7%–6.5% improvement in the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) metric across four hydrological stations compared to the RF-SVR model. (4) Prediction accuracy decreased with longer forecast periods, with the R² value dropping from 0.8886 for a 1-month forecast to 0.6358 for a 12-month forecast, indicating the increasing challenge of long-term predictions due to greater uncertainty and the accumulation of influencing factors over time. (5) The RF-MLPR model outperformed the RF-SVR model, demonstrating a superior ability to capture the complex, nonlinear relationships inherent in the data. …”

“…Improved understanding of soil and microbial community diversity during meadow steppe degradation is crucial for predicting degradation mechanisms and restoration strategies. Here, we used Illumina sequencing technology to investigate the patterns of soil microbial community structure and the driving factors of its change across different degradation degrees of meadow steppe [i.e., non-degraded grasslands (NDG), lightly degraded grasslands (LDG), moderately degraded grasslands (MDG), and severely degraded grasslands (SDG)] south of the Greater Khingan Mountains. …”

Climate is more influential to vegetation green-up than factors that contribute to erosion following high-severity wildfire by Joseph Crockett (22077659)

“…In <a>highly erodible</a> scenarios, when accounting for growing season climate, coefficient of variation for year-of-fire precipitation, total precipitation, and soil erodibility decreased greenness in the fifth year. While the effects of year-of-fire factors related to erosion were significant, they were small, and the variability explained by growing season vapor pressure deficit and growing season precipitation were significantly greater.…”
