Social aspects are an integral part of sustainable building alongside environmental and economic aspects. While current Green Building Rating Systems such as LEED, BREEAM, and SBToolCZ address primarily technically quant...

In Argentina, there is an important potential to utilize organic waste to generate bioenergy. This work analyzes the environmental impacts and the energetic and economic requirements of the biogas produced by digesting t...

Global coffee demand rises by about 2.3% annually, intensifying environmental, health and social externalities, particularly in producing countries. There is limited understanding of the magnitude of these externalities ...

Underwater gas pipelines are vital for energy transportation but are often subjected to harsh environments, and any leakage can have significant environmental consequences. Substantial underestimation of gas plume format...

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...

Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) analysis provides critical insights into pulmonary inflammation by identifying cellular components and inflammatory mediators in the airways and alveoli. However, variations in BALF co...

Food waste (FW) in collective catering settings remains a critical barrier to sustainable food systems, due to its magnitude and multidimensional negative impacts. Food waste reduction and prevention measures are often d...

Peri-urban horticulture is crucial to local populations, but a global paucity of information exists regarding the contamination of the associated waterways because of this activity. The aim of this study was to assess pe...

Background: Food environments have substantial impacts on broader environmental sustainability. Studies have measured these impacts in public settings (education, health, recreation, retail) and private households. Howev...

Agriculture in Iran operates under acute water scarcity, climate stress, and reliance on input-intensive practices that amplify environmental pressures. This study presents the first long-term, spatially explicit life cy...

This research develops a water-centric nexus assessment framework for Thailand's major crops: rice, sugarcane, and cassava, within shared cultivation areas. The framework examines interaction among water use, agricultura...

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...

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...

Urban microclimate are localized climatic conditions within urban areas that are shaped by the buildings, population density, land cover, and vegetation, and that differ significantly from surrounding rural contexts. The...

With increasing impacts of climate change, vulnerable low-lying developing countries like Bangladesh have coastal zones that experience disproportionate loss and damage (L&D) that exceed the limits of local adaptation. T...

The intensification of agricultural practices to meet rising food demand is a major driver of environmental degradation. Current dietary patterns exacerbate these pressures, favoring foods that are economically accessibl...

This study examines the carbon footprints (CFs) of Spanish household food consumption in 2022, based on survey-based data. The results are assessed considering differences in food consumption patterns across socioeconomi...

The rising demand for food, escalating water security, the impact of climate change, and global policy initiatives have heightened research focus on sustainability in agricultural water management. However, the field suf...

Water Resources Carrying Capacity (WRCC) embodies the fundamental constraint relationship between water resource sustainability and regional economic growth as well as social development, serving as a key indicator for a...

Decelerating climate change requires a shift away from conventional production practices across industries, including agriculture, to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Agricultural sustainabil...

Under the dual impacts of global climate change and human activities, drought disasters in the Inner Mongolia grassland are a critical constraint on the high-quality development of animal husbandry. Based on disaster sys...

Climate change poses escalating challenges to urban systems, intensifying risks from extreme temperatures, flooding, sea-level rise, and socio-environmental inequalities. Cities are increasingly recognised as critical ar...

In recent decades, escalating climate change, continuous population growth, rapid urbanization, and extensive agricultural development have placed increasing pressure on global ecosystems. Particularly in China, intensiv...

Microplastic (MP) contamination in agricultural soils is an emerging environmental hazard with poorly understood impacts on crops. Here, we investigated concentration-dependent effects of polyethylene MPs on tomato (Sola...
