The study, conducted to analyze the temporal and spatial changes in current land use types in Demre district of Antalya Province and to establish a foundation for future land management studies, was supported by multispe...

ABSTRACTThe Amazon várzeas are an important component of the Amazon biome, but anthropic and climatic impacts have been leading to forest loss and interruption of essential ecosystem functions and services. The objectiv...

IntroductionThe Crocodile River Catchment is one of the key water sources for Mpumalanga Province, crucial for irrigation, domestic use, and ecotourism. However, in recent years, the river has reached its utilisation cap...

Abstract Background Landslides are one of the most frequent and damaging disasters in the Nepal Himalaya region, triggered primarily by intense rainfall events. With the increasing impacts of climate change, extreme prec...

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...

Seed-yield stability, frequently associated with drought-tolerance strategies, is one of the main breeding objectives for the development of crops for semi-arid mediterranean-type environments. Since breeding of new indu...

Submarine landslides can generate complicated patterns of seafloor relief that influence subsequent flow behaviour and sediment dispersal patterns. In subsurface studies, the term mass transport deposits (MTDs) is common...
