Marine plastic debris represents a relatively new and increasingly abundant substrate for colonization by microbial organisms, although the total functional potential of these organisms is yet to be uncovered. The exponential ...

Studying the vertical distribution of aerosol particles is essential for understanding their influence on the climate system. One way to evaluate this aspect of aerosols is to discriminate their source and optical properties ...

Akinyele Local Government Area, Oyo State of Nigeria is a popular place for flooding, which has negative consequences on farmers. Thus, there is need to reduce the vulnerability of the farmers to flood impacts. Vulnerability ...

This study investigates the impact of climate change projections on water availability for rainfed agriculture in Awun basin, Kwara State, Nigeria using high resolution (25 km spatial resolution) RegCM4 simulations. The ...

Beaches worldwide are plagued with problems associated with coastal erosion and degradation. In the Gambia, coastal erosion is a significant challenge exacerbated by the increasing pressures of climate change and sea-level ...

Marine zooplankton play a fundamental role in driving the energetic transfer of marine production between the first and the third trophic level, and in controlling several biogeochemical processes. Size structure is often ...

The coastal areas are characterized by constant change due to the dynamic interplay be-tween the ocean and the land surface. Waves, seas, and winds appear as crucial factors in a continuous erosion and sediment deposition ...

This study conducted in Ogou District (Togo, West Africa) attempted to bring out scientific evidence of climate variability/change in the study area which is the major food crops production zone for the Plateaux Region, ...

This research aims to assess the bacteria load and antibiotic resistance in the guts of two species, dobrado (Spicara melanurus), and arenque (Sardinella maderensis), sold at the Mindelo Cabo Verde fish market and its ...

A global phenomenon, climate change has a particular influence on the food availability for the next generation. Nigeria, the most populous nation in Africa with a population that is increasing at a geometric rate annually, ...
