Rural abandonment is a global phenomenon promoted by biophysical, socio-economic, and socio-productive causes, leading to the disappearance of traditional agricultural practices and serious impacts on food security and l...

Coral reef systems on the southeastern Cuban shelf are exposed to rapid warming and increasingly frequent marine heatwaves (MHWs). However, the physical drivers of local sea-surface temperature (SST) variability remain...

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of human brucellosis and quantify the exposure-lag-response relationships of key socioeconomic and livestock production drivers in Ningxia, China,...

Climate stress is intensifying in many dryland regions, altering the balance between ecosystem services (ESs) and ecohydrological functioning. Here, we present an integrated framework to assess these changes, combining 4...

Green finance is an important tool that would help in reducing environmental degradation and promoting sustainable development as a means of reducing the burning socio-economic challenges inherent in rapidly urbanizing n...

In the past, commercial airlines and automobiles have shared a symbiotic relationship and rarely compete directly with each other except for very short flights. However, with driverless vehicles on the horizon, many of w...
