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...

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...

IntroductionThe complex interplay between environmental dynamics, biodiversity loss, and public health necessitates advanced methodologies for quantifying and interpreting their interactions. Respiratory health, highly s...

Anthropogenic climate change is one of the main threats to global biodiversity, with amphibians being among the most vulnerable vertebrate groups. In this context, the IUCN currently lists 69 species of Neotropical glass...

Abstract Climate change threatens species and crops. Understanding its impact along a range of climates is essential for developing effective conservation strategies and strengthening ecological resilience. This study ex...

Today, climate change has become a global crisis threatening not only the environment but also economic, social, and political systems worldwide. This situation necessitates the systematic analysis of both the drivers co...

Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) provides multiple benefits, but these are being greatly eroded by urbanization and declining connectivity, which threaten biodiversity in urban centres. This study therefore investigated ...

India is globally recognised as a megadiverse country, supporting a substantial proportion of the world’s biodiversity across a wide range of terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems, while simultaneously sustaini...

BackgroundClimate change is increasingly recognized as a critical driver affecting the transmission and distribution of parasitic diseases. However, a comprehensive synthesis of the global research landscape in this inte...

Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical models (e.g. species distribution models)...

Climate change is undermining the effectiveness of static reserve systems by shifting species distributions and increasing the opportunity costs of conservation, particularly for land and water under more frequent temper...

Coupled carbon/climate models are predicting changes in Amazon carbon and water cycles for the near future, with conversion of forest into savanna-like vegetation. However, empirical data to support these models are stil...

Trends over time in the protected area coverage of Key Biodiversity Areas is an indicator to track progress for global environmental targets, including Sustainable Development Goals 14 and 15, and Target 3 of the Kunming...

Global warming is forcing many species to shift their distributions upward, causing consequent changes in the compositions of species that occur at specific locations. This prediction remains largely untested for tropica...

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...

Laterite soil is essential in the construction industry, especially in road and building construction. The practice of abandoning borrow pits after mining laterite soil in the Northern Region of Ghana has resulted in lan...

Abstract Multiple drivers of global change are causing rapid biodiversity loss worldwide. However, predicting species’ trajectories remains challenging due to the dynamic and state-dependent nature of ecological respon...

Regional economic growth drives significant land-use changes, impacting urban development, resource allocation, and ecological networks. Challenges such as climate change, ecological degradation, and land-use-ecology con...

ABSTRACT Habitat loss and fragmentation caused by deforestation are important anthropogenic drivers of changes in biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest, and has reached its highest rate in recent decades. However, the ma...

Coastal areas are dynamic environments shaped by the interaction between natural processes and human activities. Rapid urbanization and land use transformations increasingly threaten the ecological integrity and spatial ...

Ecology and sustainability are increasingly approached as a coupled socio-ecological agenda for balancing human needs, ecosystem integrity, and long-term resilience within ecological limits Rapid climate risks, accelerat...

Abstract Understanding how plant communities reorganize under climate change is essential for effective biodiversity conservation and restoration. We developed a spatially explicit, multi-scenario framework to evaluate f...
