Land degradation (LD) is a major barrier toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), due to challenges in national assessments. A comprehensive spatiotemporal anal...

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...

Urbanization is considered an inevitable result of population growth in many developing countries. Cities attract migrants due to economic opportunities, infrastructure improvements, and higher living standards. However,...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

Many developing countries have experienced rapid industrial and urban expansion over the last two decades, raising concerns about ecological degradation. However, quantitative assessments linking urbanization and ecologi...

The purpose of this study was to assess hydrological controls (e.g., rainfall, irrigation practices, river discharge, dam operation, evaporation) on surface (SW)- ground water (GW) interactions in an irrigated valley wit...

Soil is a living, finite resource that shapes chemical fate, microbial ecology, nutrient supply, and climate regulation, yet environmental science and policy often treat it as an inert substrate. Approximately one-third ...

Assessing ecosystem service values (ESV) and human activity intensity (HAI) is essential for ecosystem management and human well-being. Focusing on the southwest Guangxi Karst–Beibu Gulf (SWG–KBG), this study adopts ...

China's karst ecosystems represent a global hotspot of rocky desertification and ecological vulnerability, posing significant challenges for balancing ecological preservation with socioeconomic development. However, pers...
