Literature search strategy, case-study qualifications and dataset The literature search used three electronic databases, namely the University of Southampton’s DelphiS interface, Web of Science and Google Scholar. Prospective case-studies were recognised by individual cases or combinations of the following key terms appearing within either the article title or abstract: regime shift, critical shifts, shift, abrupt […] More

Area-specific dengue cases in Hong Kong After the first local case of dengue fever was discovered in 2002, a large dengue outbreak occurred in the same year and another in 2018 while sporadic cases mainly occurred between 2014 and 2017. We divided Hong Kong into 3 areas: (i) New Territories-South (NTS), (ii) New Territories-North (NTN), […] More

Although inland water bodies occupy a small fraction of the earth’s surface, they play a major role in the global carbon (C) cycle1. The predominant terrestrial carbon input to most lakes and reservoirs is dissolved carbon (DC), followed by particulate carbon, and the proportion of inputs varies with lake location and hydrology2. The dominant form […] More
