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...

Abstract Watershed degradation driven by land-use change, climate variability, and rising water demand threatens water security and ecosystem services in underdeveloped countries like Nepal. Local participation is essent...

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...

ARTICLE HIGLIGHTS - First carbon mapping of Palsabangon watershed using InVEST model - Combines remote sensing and field data across four key vegetation types - Reveals mangroves store highest carbon per hectare among la...

In Ethiopia, natural hazard threats have an adverse effect on many livelihoods. However, the systematic assessment of rural household livelihood vulnerability to the threats is lacking in the Sile-Sago watershed, which t...

The impact of land use changes on watershed morphometry has shifted the delivery of ecosystem services from river-centric to aquifer-centric in the Ganga River Basin. We assessed the hydrosociology of 4830 dugwell develo...

Numerous research efforts have explored novel strategies to alleviate water scarcity in various regions of Ethiopia. In this context, growing attention has been directed toward assessing the economic value of multiple wa...

Amid growing water crises, climate change, and intensified human activities, there is an urgent need to assess water conditions from an ecological perspective. This study evaluated Water Security with an Ecological Lens ...

Soil loss poses a serious threat to agricultural productivity and causes environmental degradation, particularly in Ethiopia. It depletes soil fertility, resulting in reduced crop productivity and accelerated sedimentati...

Abstract An integrated hydrochemical, statistical, and geospatial approach was adopted in the present study to evaluate the groundwater quality of the Mangura Nala watershed in the state of Bihar, India. A total of 154 g...

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...

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...

This research investigates the factors shaping willingness to pay (WTP) for ecosystem services among downstream communities in the Gamo highlands, located in southern Ethiopia. Data were collected from 381 respondents us...

Climate change–driven drought increasingly threatens water security and community resilience in climate-sensitive watersheds like the Bicol River Basin (BRB) in the Philippines, highlighting the urgent need for sustain...

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 EU's Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability aims to incorporate environmental risk of combined exposure, stemming from unintentional chemical mixtures in the environment, into regulatory risk assessments. Within the E...

Despite their charismatic appeal and threatened conservation status, parrots of the genera Tanygnathus and Prioniturus remain poorly studied throughout their range. Their inconspicuous behaviour, elusive nature, and rari...

Water scarcity traps smallholder farmers in a vicious circle of poverty and challenges individual well-being. This study explores the impact of climate change on water resources and the factors influencing smallholder fa...

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 ...

Soil erosion is a major problem, which has had adverse effects on the productivity of agriculture, the quality of water, and the sustainability of land in the long term, especially in semi-arid states of southern India. ...

Global climate change and intensified human activities drive rapid land use and land cover (LULC) changes, particularly in ecologically fragile regions like China's Southern Hilly Region (SHR), affecting ecosystem servic...

We explore the hidden diversity of the terrestrial frog genus Niceforonia, based on phylogenetic and morphological evidence, we describe two new species. Both species are found in pristine unexplored old-growth forest of...

This study presents the first comparative assessment of tobacco and non-tobacco industrial effluents in Bangladesh, emphasizing irrigation potential and ecological risks (ER) through multi-index evaluations. Eighteen tob...
