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...

Abstract Background Pacific island countries (PICs), including Fiji, are among the most vulnerable to the health impacts of climate change. In Fiji, acute watery diarrhea (AWD) remains a common communicable disease of pu...

Abstract Marine heatwaves, and other extreme climatic events, are driving mass mortality of habitat‐forming species and substantial ecological change worldwide. However, habitat fragmentation is rarely considered despi...

Abstract The increasing frequency of natural hazards, intensified by climate change, poses substantial challenges to sustainable development worldwide. Northern Pakistan, particularly the Hunza district, is highly suscep...

Against a backdrop of growing environmental awareness and the need to mitigate climate change impacts, urban spatial planning and management policies inspired by European sustainable development recommendations are gaini...

Housing and energy insecurity represent intersecting social determinants of health that shape exposure to indoor environmental carcinogens and, consequently, cancer outcomes. This scoping review examines how inadequate h...

Paleosols formed by the burial of topsoil during landscape evolution can sequester substantial amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC) over millennia due to protection from surface disturbances. We investigated the moisture...

In the context of global warming, droughts are increasingly threatening our societies. They last for months or even years, affecting wide areas and large numbers of people, with single drought events sometimes causing ec...

IntroductionFlood risk assessment has become increasingly important in regions vulnerable to climate-induced disasters. This study addresses the need for a robust decision-support framework by proposing a hybrid multi-cr...

Abstract We investigated the plasticity of vessel features in Ocotea indecora wood along a 300 m altitude gradient in dense montane rainforest. Our results showed that wood of trees at 1,000 m presented higher potential ...

Under the dual impacts of global climate change and human activities, drought disasters in the Inner Mongolia grassland are a critical constraint on the high-quality development of animal husbandry. Based on disaster sys...

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...

China's karst ecosystems represent a global hotspot of rocky desertification and ecological vulnerability, posing significant challenges for balancing ecological preservation with socioeconomic development. However, pers...

La región del Gran La Plata, se ve afectada regularmente por sudestadas e inundaciones que evidencian, en términos de vulnerabilidad, los desequilibrios territoriales en la Región como así también los efectos del ca...

This latest Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will again form the standard reference for all those concerned with climate change and its consequences, including students, res...

Climate Change 2007: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability

The inherent vulnerability of elasmobranchs (i.e., sharks, skates, rays) to extinction stems from their conservative life history traits, particularly those related to reproduction. Traditional studies on elasmobranch re...

La historia geológica y climática del noroeste Argentino presenta fuertes cambios producto de los constantes procesos orogénicos y climáticos ocurridos durante el Neógeno y períodos glaciares e interglaciares del C...

Los procesos biogeoquímicos relacionados con la dinámica de nutrientes, isótopos estables, ácidos grasos marcadores y el plancton fueron estudiados en un lago salino de la Pampa Argentina. El amonio fue el compuest...
