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...

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...

ABSTRACT Reduced-impact logging is a well known practice applied in most sustainable forest management plans in the Amazon. Nevertheless, there are still ways to improve the operational planning process. Therefore, the a...

O presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar a arborização viária de três cidades da região norte do Estado de Mato Grosso, sendo: Alta Floresta, Carlinda e Nova Monte Verde. Foi levantado um total de 663 indivíduo...

Background: Extreme heat poses growing public health challenges, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. Assessing heat vulnerability at the county level is crucial for guiding adaptation strategies. Methods: A count...

Abstract Marine habitat maps are essential tools for marine spatial planning, providing information for decision‐making in conservation and resource management. Accurate classification of benthic habitats supports thei...

O inventário é uma etapa básica do manejo florestal em que é avaliado a composição da floresta e a sua potencialidade para o manejo. O inventário a 100% tem o propósito de determinar o estoque de madeira existent...

Forest growth and yield projection is essential for sustainable forest management planning. In Brazil, the Clutter model is widely applied for yield forecasting and commonly achieves prediction errors below 10%. However,...

Forest fragmentation poses a critical threat to ecosystem service functionality, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. This study investigates the spatio-temporal dynamics of forest fragmentation and its impacts on...

Tropical dry woodlands are key ecosystems for global biodiversity, carbon storage, and forest-based livelihoods in some of the poorest regions of the world. Many of these woodlands have been historically converted and de...

Eco-labeling and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices are increasingly promoted in the global forestry sector to encourage sustainable consumption. However, limited research has examined how consumers' a...

In this work, a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model for daily routing of trucks in forest industry is presented. The aim is to generate truck routes at minimum cost, while logs supply is guaranteed. Models usua...

The present finding reports the first national record of Neorina hilda Westwood, 1851 (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae), commonly known as the Yellow Owl Butterfly from Nepal. A single adult individual was observed and photograph...

Uttarakhand, Himalaya's a state, is having serious environmental problems that are mainly due to urbanization, infrastructure development, and climate change. The systematic review gathers together geospatial studies in ...

Tree growth is one of the main variables needed for forest management planning. The use of simple models containing traditional equations to describe tree growth is common. However, equations that incorporate different f...

Rusty-spotted Cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) is the smallest felid in the world. It is rare, elusive, and poorly studied. Its distribution across the country is patchy, and it faces threats from increasing anthropogenic ...

Abstract The Indian Western Himalayan (IWH) region experiences persistent threats from natural hazards mainly influenced by land use and land cover (LULC) changes resulting from rapid urbanization. The present study aims...

Abstract Effort estimation remains a persistent challenge in agile software development, particularly at the user story level where iterative delivery is emphasized. Inaccurate estimations can result in misallocated reso...

The present study was conducted from February 2024 to May 2025 in the Raha sub-district of Nagaon, Assam, to provide the first avian checklist of the region. Surveys were conducted weekly, with observations carried out o...

Abstract The increasing frequency of natural hazards, intensified by climate change, poses substantial challenges to sustainable development worldwide. Northern Pakistan, particularly the Hunza district, is highly suscep...

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...

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...

Abstract Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, are increasingly deployed for critical missions such as environmental monitoring, infrastructure inspection, and disaster response. Assessing the reliability of these ...

The recognition of areas of endemism (AEs) is important for conservation biology and biogeographical regionalization. Our objective was to quantitatively identify AEs and distributional congruence patterns of native rode...
