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...

One of the environmental consequences and conflicts arising from land use and land cover changes is the intensification of soil erosion, which seriously threatens urban water and soil resources. Therefore, it is necessar...

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...

Niche dimensionality provides a general theoretical explanation for biodiversity-more niches, defined by more limiting factors, allow for more ways that species can coexist. Because plant species compete for the same set...

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) is the most economically damaging soilborne pathogen affecting soybean, causing significant yield losses in the United States and worldwide. Current commercial cu...

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 paper introduces a hybrid deep learning architecture to precisely detect surface water resources in deserted and dry areas in Central India with Sentinel-2 RGB images. Conventional spectral techniques are affected b...

Reversing the effects of agricultural resource degradation – and its implications for ecosystem services (ESS) – require targeted policy action. Comprehensive and consistent estimates of the magnitudes and monetary v...

A bacia do Tietê/Jacaré é uma das 22 Unidades de Gestão de Recursos Hídricos (Ugrhis) do Estado de São Paulo. Um estudo desenvolvido de 2005 a 2007 detalhou as principais características dessa bacia hidrográfica,...

Abstract Given the escalating challenges of water scarcity and climate change, enhancing water productivity is crucial for achieving water security, particularly in arid regions with finite water resources. This study as...

Background: Forests are used for multiple purposes worldwide, which often include timber harvest, firewood extraction and livestock raising. An excessive pressure on multipurpose systems may decrease soil cover, promotin...

In the context of the arid region rangelands, the community's livelihood is highly dependent on the ecosystem's services, including the proper management and use of natural resources. This research evaluates the effects ...

The accumulation of polyethylene (PE) mulch films in agricultural soils represents a persistent environmental challenge. This study aimed to construct and evaluate efficient microbial consortia for PE biodegradation and ...

Grasslands have to be considered not only as a mean for providing foods for domestic herbivore but also as an important biome of terrestrial biosphere. This function of grasslands as an active component of our environmen...

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...

Reliable estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is essential for irrigation scheduling and agricultural water-resources management. Although the FAO-56 Penman–Monteith equation is widely accepted as the stand...

The germination requirement of native species are key factors in the ecological restoration of degraded ecosystem. A variety of plant seeds are affected by dormancy. Therefore, the knowladge of processes and enviromental...
