Population growth debates often posit that depopulation would reduce ecological strains. We explore that premise through the case of Japan, where population decline coincides with rising affluence, dietary change, and gr...

Market-based instruments such as agricultural carbon credit programs are being encouraged as a way of mitigating climate change, and at the same time, encouraging farm-level sustainability. The review paper consolidates ...

Hunger remains one of the most persistent barriers to human development, with progress uneven across regions and increasingly exposed to economic instability, climate pressure and structural vulnerabilities. This study i...

Satellite-based crop forecasting in major exporting regions can trigger production shifts in the opposite hemisphere by leveraging seasonal disparities between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres to stabilize global cr...

Abstract Multiple drivers of global change are causing rapid biodiversity loss worldwide. However, predicting species’ trajectories remains challenging due to the dynamic and state-dependent nature of ecological respon...

Abstract This systematic review explores the social aspects of cleaner production adoption in the Global North and South, addressing the critical gap in understanding how socio-cultural, governance, and behavioural facto...

Environmental-related hazards are a global problem; consequently, an Environmental Worry Index (EWI) was developed; however, the psychometric properties of this scale in the Spanish population are unavailable.

Today, climate change has become a global crisis threatening not only the environment but also economic, social, and political systems worldwide. This situation necessitates the systematic analysis of both the drivers co...

Climate change is leading to increases in global temperatures and erratic precipitation patterns, both of which are contributing to the expansion of mosquito-borne arboviruses and the populations of the mosquitos that ve...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined by the concurrence of different metabolic conditions: obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia. Its incidence has been increasingly rising over the past decades and has ...

Abstract Environmental education plays a central role in addressing global environmental problems by shaping learners’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. This study examined the effects of an integrated Environmental...

The LC10, 50 and 90/24 h of aluminum for Rhinella arenarum embryos at complete operculum stage were 0.55, 0.75 and 1 mgAl3+/L respectively. Those values did not change significantly by expanding the exposure period till ...

This integrative review synthesizes current knowledge on the physiological responses and adaptive mechanisms of amphibians and reptiles to multiple interacting environmental stressors, with particular emphasis on synergi...

Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture globally, impacting crop yields and food security. Nigeria is highly climate-vulnerable, with over 70% of livelihoods rain-fed, increasing exposure to floods, dr...

Soil moisture drought (SMD) critically constrains terrestrial ecosystems and agricultural productivity, yet the long-term contribution of historical land use and land cover change (LULCC) to global drought trends remains...

Abstract Background With the continued rise in global temperature, the health risks associated with heat have become increasingly prominent. This study aims to assess and map the risk and cost of hospital admissions and ...

Abstract Non-technical summary Efforts to tackle climate change are increasingly delayed not through denial but through subtler arguments that emphasize costs, shift blame, or promote weak solutions. We created a tool to...

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...

Abstract The Eocene–Oligocene transition was the crucial turning point when Earth’s climate shifted to its current icehouse state. Understanding how the marine biosphere responded during this transition is not well-c...

Abstract Soils are the primary environmental reservoir of plant pathogens impacting food production and ecosystem productivity worldwide. Yet, some soils can also suppress pathogens through environmental and microbial re...

Rainfall in the central Andes associated with the South American Monsoon and the South American Low-Level Jet results from orographic effects on atmospheric circulation exerted by the Andean Plateau and the Eastern Cordi...

Nitrogen (N) is essential for global food production, yet its inefficient use leads to widespread environmental degradation and contributes significantly to climate change. This focus issue of Environmental Research Lett...

Peatlands are major carbon stores that are sensitive to climate change and increasingly affected by human activity. Accurate assessment of carbon stocks and modelling of peatland responses to future climate scenarios req...

A partir del consumo masivo de artefactos electrónicos, el recambio tecnológico y la disminución de la brecha digital, se ha generado una problemática mundial singular para los marcos de gestión de los desperdicios ...
