Forest cover change directly affects biodiversity, the global carbon budget, and ecosystem function. Within Latin American and the Caribbean region (LAC), many studies have documented extensive deforestation, but there a...

Resilience "the capacity of an ecosystem to recover from disturbance" is a popular concept but quantitative empirical studies are still uncommon. This lack of empirical evidence is especially true for semi-arid ecosystem...

The rapid urban-induced Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) changes threaten river health, necessitating the identification of key drivers. It becomes essential to conduct a comprehensive assessment of anthropogenic changes t...

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...

Living on the edge: regional distribution and retracting range of the jaguar (Panthera onca).— To preserve biodiversity we need to understand how species are distributed and which aspects of the environment determine t...

Agricultural expansion threatens biodiversity due to habitat loss and fragmentation. In the Gran Chaco, a global deforestation hotspot, rampant cropland and pasture expansion raise concerns about the sustainability of th...

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...

Urbanisation, land use changes and tourism in disaster-prone high mountain areas or riskscapes have emerged as important research topics and major planning challenges at a global scale with the Himalayan region as a hots...

This article has three parts. In the first one the author analyses the formation of the international regime on climate change since the negotiations and signing of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Chan...

GLOBALMENTE, a biota terrestre é um sumidouro significativo de dióxido de carbono (CO2) atmosférico. Estudos recentes do IPCC para a década de 1990 estimam a biota terrestre com sendo um sumidouro líquido de aproxim...

Approximately 85% of the global forest estate is neither formally protected nor in areas dedicated to intensive wood production (e.g., plantations). Given the spatial extent of unprotected forests, finding management app...

This is the first part of a special issue on the impact of Upper Pleistocene climatic and environmental change on hominin occupations and landscape use. In this part there are six contributions: Davies, W., and Nigst,...

This research examines the effects of these changes on the spatial structure of cities and the challenges arising from them. in this regard, the current study was conducted with the aim of measuring and analyzing the rol...

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 high population growth rate, the accelerated industrialization and unpredictability of oil prices in the world have considerably raised the energy demand which has enhanced the necessity of alternative and sustainabl...

El espacio rururbano –localizado al norte de la ciudad de Santa Fe– está constituido por los distritos Santa Fe, Recreo y Monte Vera. De vocación tradicionalmente hortícola este sector ecotonal atraviesa profundos...

Niche construction theory has increasingly received attention in paleoanthropology as a new focus for considering the evolutionary consequences of hominin tool-use and cultural adaptation starting in the Pleistocene. Mod...

The Liguro-Provençal arc yields unique deposits documenting the Middle-Upper Paleolithic transition. Yet, interpreting shifts in subsistence strategies in this region has remained challenging, mainly due to taphonomic p...

El trabajo aborda las reconfiguraciones de la territorialidad indígena en el contexto de organización estatal y construcción del mercado de tierras en Pampa y nor-Patagonia, en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. El litig...

Skeletal malocclusion is caused by a disproportion of the maxilla and mandible, which leads to an unharmonious facial profile. Straight, convex, and concave soft tissue profiles may serve as a guide to determine the unde...

The lack of implementation of well-designed public policies aimed at the conservation of natural ecosystems has resulted, at a global level, in the decline of ecosystem functioning and, consequently, of the contributions...

Forest fires in the Amazon, particularly in protected areas, pose significant challenges related to CO _2 emissions and deforestation. This study aimed to evaluate fire foci and their driving factors in the Jamanxim Nati...

The aim of the present work was to study the effect of the pyrethroid cypermethrin (CYP) on the non-target freshwater snail Chilina parchappi. Initially, the sensitivity of adult snails to CYP was evaluated via the 96-h ...

The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is a critical ecological security barrier for China, playing an indispensable role in ecosystem services (ESs). However, comprehensive assessments of the ecological barrier functions o...
