Soil moisture drought (SMD) critically constrains terrestrial ecosystems and agricultural productivity, yet the long-term contribution of historical land use and land cover change (LULCC) to global drought trends remains...

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...

The governance of protected areas plays a key role in preserving biodiversity and fostering sustainable development, particularly through nature-based tourism. This paper introduces the Robustness Supply Tourism Index (R...

Space is an area that includes land space, sea space and air space, including space within the earth as a unified territory, where humans and other creatures live, carry out activities and maintain their survival. Increa...
