Urban sprawl, the uncoordinated and spatially dispersed expansion of urban areas into surrounding rural lands, poses significant challenges to sustainable development, resulting in the loss of agricultural and forest lan...

Based on 5 years of integrated pedological work in Kamuli District, this study examines how farmers in three villages understand and classify soils. The farmers' knowledge was documented through a participatory approach ...

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...

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...

Abstract Beach erosion represents a major hazard to coastal regions worldwide, yet the role of fluvial floods remains an understudied component of beach dynamics. Accounting for fluvial flooding is essential, as its negl...

IntroductionThe health of grassland ecosystems is of great significance for regional ecological security. The alpine grassland is fragile and sensitive to climate change and human activities, but studies on the assessmen...

Communities are central to social-ecological systems where environmental dynamics, development pressures, and human well-being intersect. Yet, infrastructure planning often overlooks this complexity, leading to unintende...

Agricultural expansion and intensification has led globally to a rapid landscape structure change and high agrochemical use resulting in habitat loss and degraded environmental quality. Co-occurrence of landscape change ...

Monitoring and managing greenhouse gas emissions in each country is essential to achieving the targets of the UNFCCC framework. Thailand has reported GHG emissions but lacks high resolution spatial emission data, which i...

Landslide hotspots refer to spatial clusters of slope failures where event densities significantly exceed surrounding background levels, providing key insight into how climatic, environmental, and anthropogenic factors i...

El análisis de concentración espacial de las dimensiones de los Determinantes Sociales de la Salud (DSS) forma parte de un claro acercamientopara conocer e interpretar la distribución espacial de la vulnerabilidadsoci...

This article examines how floodwater can become a driver of urban resilience in Addis Ababa. Focusing on the Upper Kebena River basin, the study analyzes how rapid urbanization, steep geomorphology, low- infiltration soi...

Extreme hydrometeorological events are an increasing concern in Central Europe, particularly in the European Alps, where they pose significant threats to ecological and socio-economic systems. Risk assessment and managem...

Spatial expansion and increasing population of cities is turning them into neuralgic points of the food supply chain. Due to its structure and the speed of life processes, food is delivered to urban centres through con...

Abstract As a core node for maintaining the ecological security of the Bohai Sea and promoting the coordinated development of regional social economy, the Yellow River Estuary has long been subjected to the dual stress o...

IntroductionWeather classification plays a crucial role in applications such as environmental monitoring, disaster management, and smart city infrastructure. Accurate and efficient classification of weather conditions fr...

A drought severity climatology for the Carpathian region has been produced using the self-calibrating Palmer Drought Severity Index (Sc-PDSI) for the period 1961-2010. Using the Sc-PDSI and the assumptions of the Palmer ...

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of roadside green infrastructure in reducing particulate matter-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PM-bound PAHs) in urban soils and to assess the associated human heal...

The increasing attention to land–sea interactions in spatial planning highlights persistent difficulties in integrating terrestrial and maritime governance, particularly in tourism-intensive coastal areas where environ...

Forest fires have exhibited an escalating trend in both frequency and intensity globally, with major and catastrophic events causing significant damage to forest resources, human lives, and property. Timely and accurate ...

Climate change and urbanization have substantial ramifications for the management and protection of cultural-historical landscapes. This is especially true for historical estate landscapes – landscapes whose character ...

The purpose of this study was to assess hydrological controls (e.g., rainfall, irrigation practices, river discharge, dam operation, evaporation) on surface (SW)- ground water (GW) interactions in an irrigated valley wit...

Soil is a living, finite resource that shapes chemical fate, microbial ecology, nutrient supply, and climate regulation, yet environmental science and policy often treat it as an inert substrate. Approximately one-third ...

Just as for most other tortoise species, the once common Chacotortoise, Chelonoidis chilensis (Testudinidae), is under constant threat across it distribution in Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. Despite initial qualitativ...
