The History of the Brazilian Sardine (<i>Sardinella brasiliensis</i>) Between Two Fishery Collapses: An Ecosystem Modeling Approach to Study Its Life Cycle by Rafael Schroeder, Angélica Petermann, Alberto Teodorico Correia

“…During this period, a sharp drop in the primary production required to sustain the catches from 2012 onwards accompanied a significant fall in the biomass accumulation rate. This pattern was coincidental with the increasing mean temperature of the catches, which was probably acting as a limiting factor for the primary production, resulting in a higher natural mortality and flow to detritus. …”

Prediction of Urban Construction Land Carbon Effects (UCLCE) Using BP Neural Network Model: A Case Study of Changxing, Zhejiang Province, China by Qinghua Liao, Xiaoping Zhang, Zixuan Cui, Xunxi Yin

“…The results demonstrate that the BP neural network model effectively predicts the different types of UCLCE, with an average error rate of 30.10%. (1) The total effect and intensity effect exhibit different trends in the study area, and a carbon effect table for different types of UCL is established. (2) The spatial distribution characteristics of UCLCE reveal a distinct reverse-L pattern (“┙”-shaped layout) with positive spatial correlation (Moran’s I = 0.11, <i>p</i> < 0.001). (3) The model’s core practical value lies in enabling forward-looking assessment of carbon effects in urban planning schemes and precise quantification of emissions reduction benefits. …”
