Coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrasses, and coral reefs are highly sensitive to shoreline instability and rapid land-use changes in industrializing regions. Nayband Gulf, located adjacent to the Pars Special Ec...

Sacred groves (SGs) are community-protected forest patches dedicated to local deities, crucial for biodiversity conservation but threatened by habitat loss and weakening traditions. This study provides the first inventor...

Abstract Watershed degradation driven by land-use change, climate variability, and rising water demand threatens water security and ecosystem services in underdeveloped countries like Nepal. Local participation is essent...

Latin America exhibits one of the highest rates of biodiversity and ecosystem services (ES) loss worldwide along with a remarkable asymmetry in the access to ES benefits (ecosystem services inequality, ESI hereafter). Th...

Forest fragmentation poses a critical threat to ecosystem service functionality, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. This study investigates the spatio-temporal dynamics of forest fragmentation and its impacts on...

Plant communities fragmented by agricultural activities were analyzed in a 250-ha area in eastern plains of Montecaseros, Gral. San Martín Department, Mendoza, Argentina. A phytosociological method assessed different si...

Abstract Northern Ghana faces acute climate vulnerabilities, yet adaptation pathways remain fragmented and poorly synthesized. This study systematically reviewed 15 peer-reviewed literature covering the Savannah, Upper E...

Approximately 1 billion ha of the global land surface is currently salt-affected, representing about 7% of the earth's land surface. Whereas most of it results from natural geochemical processes, an estimated 30% of irri...

Propiedades superficiales de los suelos como textura y materia orgánica, juegan un rol muy importante en procesos vinculados a la dinámica hídrica y a la degradación de las tierras. Los sistemas conservacionistas de ...

Soil erosion is a major environmental concern that affects land productivity and water quality. Although soil erosion is a serious global environmental challenge, understanding its potential influence in the Bardha Water...

El trabajo sintetiza el proceso de implementación de prácticas de manejo sostenible de la tierra (MST) en el marco del Programa Crecer Cooperando, ejecutado por la Fundación Cricyt mediante financiamiento surgido del ...

Climate change and land use change in the Lesti Sub-DAS increase the risk of flooding and land degradation, requiring reliable flow predictions to support water resource management. However, the performance of the NRECA ...

This study proposes a two-level stacking machine learning approach for predicting rainfall erosivity (Rm) in Taiwan, providing a flexible alternative to traditional empirical methods. Conventional models rely on limited ...

ABSTRACT Soil, water, and nutrient loss by water erosion are among the main factors leading to land degradation, decreasing soil productivity and the provision of ecosystem services. The Cerrado-Amazon ecotone in western...

Food systems globally are under growing pressure to transition in response to climate change, ecological degradation, shifting consumer expectations, and persistent social inequities. Emerging biotechnologies, including ...

The current study will deal with the problem of natural resource degradation, presenting a new, multifaceted approach to the measurement of watershed health. This idea determines the capacity of a watershed to be structu...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most frequent type of leukaemia in adults, often with poor outcomes due to the complex genetic landscape and low treatment efficacy. Autophagy, a conserved degradation process, plays a...

The occurrence of abnormalities in amphibians has been reported in many populations, and its increase could be related to environmental pollution and habitat degradation. We evaluated the type and prevalence of abnormali...

En el centro-sur de la región semiárida pampeana, laagricultura extensiva enfrenta condiciones adversas comodéficits hídricos frecuentes y suelos frágiles, pobres enmateria orgánica. Prácticas como la captación d...
