The reality confronting ecosystem managers today is one of heterogeneous, rapidly transforming landscapes, particularly in the areas more affected by urban and agricultural development. A landscape management framework t...

Studies assessing marine physical stock accounts compliant with the globally adopted System of Environmental-Economic Accounting - Ecosystem Accounting are limited. These studies typically focus on ecosystems easy to map...

The links between plant diversity and ecosystem functioning remain highly controversial. There is a growing consensus, however, that functional diversity, or the value and range of species traits, rather than species num...

Dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) serve a significant role in regulating ecosystem services on rangelands. However, the influence of grazing management on dung beetle communities remains largely unknown. The purpo...

Agricultural intensification has reduced biodiversity and leads to fundamental trade-offs between food production and conservation. Conventional approaches to food production are thus no longer suitable. In the present w...

Reversing the effects of agricultural resource degradation – and its implications for ecosystem services (ESS) – require targeted policy action. Comprehensive and consistent estimates of the magnitudes and monetary v...

Enhancing subjective well-being (SWB) is central to sustainable development, yet the psychological mechanisms linking ecological worldviews to SWB in conservation contexts remain underexplored. This study investigates ho...

ABSTRACT Tree legumes are an underexploited resource in warm-climate silvopastures. Perceived benefits of tree legumes include provisioning (browse/mast, timber, fuel, human food, natural medicines, and ornamentals), reg...

The transformation of Ukraine’s financial ecosystem has become a defining process in the country’s adaptation to the turbulent geopolitical, economic, and technological environment of recent years. The study aims to ...

In the ongoing ecological crisis, mere conservation of ecosystems in their current state proves insufficient; a pressing need to restore degraded ecosystems arises. Such restoration efforts challenge traditional conserva...

Abstract Given increasing migration and cultural diversification in urban contexts, understanding how people with different cultural backgrounds use and perceive urban green areas is relevant for inclusive planning. This...

The aim of this study is to determine the impact potential of land use on biotic production and climate regulation in the agricultural phase of a product, taking into account the varied soil and crop management. Land occ...

Humanity is on a deeply unsustainable trajectory. We are exceeding planetary boundaries and unlikely to meet many international sustainable development goals and global environmental targets. Until recently, there was no...

Sustainable agriculture is widely promoted as a cornerstone of climate change mitigation, yet the extent to which this research domain explicitly engages with carbon-neutrality and net-zero objectives remains unclear. Th...

Among the South American Arid Diagonal (SAAD), the Argentine Arid Diagonal (AAD) constitutes an area with low precipitations (less than 500 mm) and extends from the north of the country (on the border with Bolivia), to P...

Forest ecosystems play a fundamental role in sustaining global water cycles and ecological security, and accurate modeling of their eco-hydrological processes is essential for forest management, watershed regulation, and...

Global environmental degradation resulting from unsustainable human activities has become a critical development challenge in the 21st century. The Didessa watershed in southwestern Ethiopia, a region dominated by subsis...

Abstract Against the backdrop of urgent demand for efficient scheduling and precise services in university innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems, this study proposes an optimization path for ecosystem construction i...

In the context of global changes and the complexity of socio-economic systems, making management decisions is becoming an increasingly challenging process. Digital transformation, which has become a key goal for the deve...

While there is wide consensus about the reliance of climate projections at global scale, there is still uncertainty about changes at finer scale and even less on the effects of such fluctuations for local economies and s...

Urban sprawl, the uncoordinated and spatially dispersed expansion of urban areas into surrounding rural lands, poses significant challenges to sustainable development, resulting in the loss of agricultural and forest lan...

The impact of land use changes on watershed morphometry has shifted the delivery of ecosystem services from river-centric to aquifer-centric in the Ganga River Basin. We assessed the hydrosociology of 4830 dugwell develo...

The limited availability of herbicides for weed management, coupled with the rapid expansion of herbicide-resistant weed populations, has intensified the need to explore alternative weed management strategies, particular...

Tropical dry woodlands are key ecosystems for global biodiversity, carbon storage, and forest-based livelihoods in some of the poorest regions of the world. Many of these woodlands have been historically converted and de...
