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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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 ...

Infrastructure construction and maintenance is very critical in supporting a robust and sustainable transportation system. The primary goal of transportation infrastructure is to ensure safe and efficient movement. Howev...

This research focuses on developing a neural network model in the Python programming language to solve the technological problem of forecasting potato yields with limited agroclimatic data. The developed program is consi...

Soil loss poses a serious threat to agricultural productivity and causes environmental degradation, particularly in Ethiopia. It depletes soil fertility, resulting in reduced crop productivity and accelerated sedimentati...

Urban growth has reshaped land use patterns globally, demanding robust and scalable methodologies to monitor its long-term dynamics. This study proposes a GeoAI-based framework that integrates Random Forest (RF) classifi...

Abstract A strong association exists between land use land cover change and, Land Surface Temperature (LST). The study focuses on the assessment of vegetation cover, comprising forests and agricultural land, which are cr...

Abstract Background Landslides are one of the most frequent and damaging disasters in the Nepal Himalaya region, triggered primarily by intense rainfall events. With the increasing impacts of climate change, extreme prec...

Abstract Background Accurate prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is essential for optimizing treatment decisions. This study aimed to deve...

Abstract Land use change and soil depth are key determinants of soil fertility in tropical highland agroecosystems; however, their interactive effects remain insufficiently quantified in the Ethiopian highlands. This stu...

Abstract Land-use change strongly regulates soil physical, chemical, and biogeochemical properties, with major implications for soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in the Brazilian Amazon to a depth of 30 cm. This study a...
