The cities of arid North Patagonia are located mainly on valleys framed by slopes. In recent decades they have had exponential demographic growth. The unplanned expansion of the urban area occurs over sensitive and poten...

The links between plant diversity and ecosystem functioning remain highly controversial. There is a growing consensus, however, that functional diversity, or the value and range of species traits, rather than species num...

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...

We evaluated in this study the total mercury concentration in feathers of Ardea albus collected in a colony located in the city of Belem-PA, Brazil in a prospective trial for its use as bioindicators of mercury burden in...

Non-lethal biological techniques such as blood biomarkers have gained attention due to their value as early signals of anthropic effects of contamination representing significant tools to evaluate ecosystems health. We e...

China is the world's largest emitter of CO2 and aims to reach carbon neutrality by 2060. However, China's terrestrial ecosystem carbon budget (CB), which is crucial to accelerating the realization of the Paris Agreement ...
