Mangrove ecosystems play a vital role in protecting coastlines, sequestering carbon, and sustaining coastal biodiversity. However, various pressures such as land conversion, abrasion, and human activities are causing deg...

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...

Evidence of teratogenesis and mutagenesis documented in the palynological assemblages of the Middle Triassic Quebrada de los Fósiles Formation, San Rafael Depocenter (Mendoza, Argentina) provide an independent testimony...

This study investigates the intensity of Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect across Lahore District and its surrounding urban and peri-urban areas. Landsat satellite data were utilized t...

En los ecosistemas de montaña, la distribución de la vegetación a lo largo del gradiente altitudinal fue tradicionalmente interpretada en términos de la temperatura decreciente desde la base hacia arriba; pero los fu...

ABSTRACT We sought to evaluate the floristic and structural variations between three areas with distinct backgrounds in the Sooretama Biological Reserve, remnantd of Lowland Atlantic Forest in Brazil. For vegetation samp...

Most alpine ecosystems are subject to non-native species invasion as climate warms and human disturbance increases. Therefore, it is important to identify the main barriers and facilitators of alpine plant invasions. Whi...

Rapid urbanization in Africa, particularly in Greater Cairo, Egypt, and Nairobi, Kenya, has significantly contributed to environmental change through increased Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the intensification of th...

The effect of urban trees as a noise mitigating element was determined on Alameda Avenue in the city of Talca, Chile, a Mediterranean continental area. Maximum and minimum noise, especially generated from vehicles, was r...

Abstract Egypt’s New Delta Project, one of the country’s largest land reclamation initiatives, aims to boost agricultural production, support population growth, and strengthen food and water security. However, large-...

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...

Abstract Slope orientation creates microclimate by modulating water and heat flux between the land surface and the atmosphere, thereby regulating vegetation growth and its response to background climate change. However, ...

Urban areas face mounting pressure from increased space demand, degrading key environmental services. Thus, understanding Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) changes is vital. In order to offer a robust decision-support framework...

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...

The Paraná River floodplain comprises one of the largest wetland systems of South America. In a sector of the Lower Paraná River floodplain (100km length, 3650km2), floristic composition and species diversity was chara...

The increasing frequency and severity of wildfires necessitates advanced methods for effective surveillance and management, as traditional ground-based techniques often struggle to adapt to rapidly changing fire behavior...

This work assesses the performance of a 2000?2014 NDVI-MODIS time-series to identify areas of the Paraná River floodplain associated with different morphodynamic areas and hence ecological bEscuela de Humanidadesavior. ...

Anurans exhibit diverse locomotor modes and are found in a wide variety of habitats. Furthermore, despite speciesspecific preferences, several anurans can explore unusual habitats or substrates. This is the case of Thoro...

Land surface and crop models both simulate irrigation, but they differ in their approaches, primarily because they were originally developed for distinct purposes and scales. Through an example case study in a highly irr...

Caatinga is the most important biome for the livestock in the Brazilian semi-arid region. This review paper aimed to present information on different forage aspects of caatinga vegetation for ruminant feeding. Caatinga v...

This paper reports on the April-May 1983 Projeto Flora expedition to Serra do cachimbo in northcentral Brazil, a phytogeographically poorly known area near the transition between the Amazon forest and the central Brazili...

Abstract The high latitudes cover ∼20% of Earth's land surface. This region is facing many shifts in thermal, moisture and vegetation properties, driven by climate warming. Here we leverage remote sensing and climate r...

Grasslands have to be considered not only as a mean for providing foods for domestic herbivore but also as an important biome of terrestrial biosphere. This function of grasslands as an active component of our environmen...

Nos preguntamos que atributos de la vegetación influencian la selectividad de los ovinos respecto de diferentes unidades de vegetación a lo largo de sus caminos de pastoreo. Obtuvimos 40 000 registros de posiciones de ...
