Approximately 85% of the global forest estate is neither formally protected nor in areas dedicated to intensive wood production (e.g., plantations). Given the spatial extent of unprotected forests, finding management app...

Over the past two decades, despite significant fluctuations in China's soybean planting area, high-resolution assessments quantifying the spatially heterogeneous and nonlinear impacts of compounding economic, climatic, a...

The relevance of the research is explained by the contradiction between the availability of forest resources, the demand for timber materials, and the low economic efficiency of their use, conservation, and reproduction....

This study investigates the performance of the Random Forest algorithm in measuring the quality of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Indonesia. The current reliance on administrative evaluations and conventional ac...

Abstract Background Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) comprise a group of persistent carcinogenic pollutants whose transfer from air to soil via the atmospheric deposition represents a major chronic exposure pathwa...

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...

Abstract Background Agroforestry, the intentional integration of trees or other woody perennials with crops or livestock in production systems, is being widely promoted as a conservation and development tool to help meet...

Climate change presents significant challenges to ecosystems, economies, and societies globally. In Malaysia, a tropical country highly dependent on its natural resources, the impacts are evident in altered rainfall patt...
