This article presents an innovative technique for remote sensing-based mapping and predicting land degradation in the European frontier regions. The mapping is carried out by geospatial data fusion of relevant biophysica...

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...

Assessing land degradation is essential for identifying susceptible regions and planning sustainable landscape management approaches. This research employed a combination of geographic information system (GIS) and multic...

Abstract Land use change and soil depth are key determinants of soil fertility in tropical highland agroecosystems; however, their interactive effects remain insufficiently quantified in the Ethiopian highlands. This stu...

Regional economic growth drives significant land-use changes, impacting urban development, resource allocation, and ecological networks. Challenges such as climate change, ecological degradation, and land-use-ecology con...

Abstract The process of industrialization of arid areas can rapidly surpass the pace of environmental monitoring, which leaves a gap in the knowledge of long-term processes of soil degradation. Although conventional moni...

Laterite soil is essential in the construction industry, especially in road and building construction. The practice of abandoning borrow pits after mining laterite soil in the Northern Region of Ghana has resulted in lan...

The study area is classified as an arid environment with high sensitivity to desertification, characterized by low annual rainfall and prolonged periods of high temperatures. These conditions have led to the degradation ...

In drylands livestock grazing is the main production activity, but overgrazing due to mismanagement is a major cause of biodiversity loss. Continuous grazing around water sources generates a radial gradient of grazing in...

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,...

Abstract Land subsidence induced by underground coal mining consistently leads to persistent ponding in coal-grain overlapping areas (COAs), substantially impairing agricultural productivity. However, amid stringent farm...

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...

IntroductionThe health of grassland ecosystems is of great significance for regional ecological security. The alpine grassland is fragile and sensitive to climate change and human activities, but studies on the assessmen...

Abstract Background Disruption of cellular proteostasis leads to the accumulation and persistence of pathogenic proteins that drive oncogenesis. Key oncogenic and tumor suppressor proteins are frequently dysregulated in ...

Tropical dry forests and savannas provide important ecosystem services and harbor high biodiversity, yet are globally under pressure from land-use change. Mapping changes in the condition of dry forests and savannas is t...

Soil moisture is an important part of the land water cycle. It affects ecosystem health, agricultural output, and climate regulation. Several factors influence its variability, especially land use and land cover (LULC). ...

1. Desertification is of critical concern because it may affect 40% of the global land area inhabited by more than 1 billion people. During the process of desertification, defined as land degradation in arid, semi-arid a...

Abstract Background Poly(A) tails play crucial roles in regulating mRNA degradation and translation, yet their evolutionary dynamics remain largely unexplored. Results Here, we generate a comprehensive full-length RNA at...

ABSTRACT The fire frequency in the Amazon increased rapidly after the 1990s due to deforestation and forest degradation, and it is expected to increase in response to climate change. We analyzed the fire occurrence and a...

Na região sudoeste da Amazônia brasileira, foi realizado um estudo detalhado da cobertura pedológica em uma toposseqüência representativa da paisagem regional, caracterizada por baixos platôs com depressões topogr...

Archaeological research suggests significant human occupation in the arid Andean highlands during the 13th to 15th centuries, whereas paleoclimatic studies reveal prolonged drier and colder conditions during that period....

Water quality in the Paso Piedras Reservoir has deteriorated, primarily due to periodic blue-green algal blooms, making it temporarily unfit for human consumption. This phenomenon results from the eutrophication of water...

Nos preguntamos que atributos de la vegetación influencian la selectividad de los ovinos respecto de diferentes unidades de vegetación a lo largo de sus caminos de pastoreo. Obtuvimos 40 000 registros de posiciones de ...
