Forest fires have exhibited an escalating trend in both frequency and intensity globally, with major and catastrophic events causing significant damage to forest resources, human lives, and property. Timely and accurate ...

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...

Abstract Research on the dynamics and driving mechanisms of submerged macrophytes communities during the natural restoration period of lakes with different trophic level remains relatively scarce. This study aims to inve...

Abstract Green urban areas act as refuges for the nests of stingless bees, during reproduction, in response to niche constraints. This study investigated the characteristics of natural colonization by stingless bees in t...

Abstract Bryophytes disperse efficiently via wind-borne spores, yet long-distance transport alone does not guarantee successful establishment at the deposition site. Species-rich hotspots are expected to arise where a su...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Acoustic indices provide a statistical method to quantify and assess relationships between soundscapes and avian diversity; however, more testing is necessary before acoustic indices are accepted as suitable proxies for ...

Abstract The increase in vehicle ownership and urban population puts a strain on roads and increases traffic congestion within developed and developing nations. Congestion affects an individual’s time and increases an ...

Abstract Background The research shows the impact of land use forms and population density on the spatial variation of COVID-19 cases and deaths. Selected elements of land use that influence the number of COVID-19 cases ...

Abstract Air pollution is a major environmental and public health challenge in Greater Cairo due to rapid urbanization, intense traffic activity, and recurrent regional dust intrusions. This study presents a data driven ...

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 ...

IntroductionUrban greening has been increasingly discussed as a component of health-supportive environments. While greenspace exposure has been associated with psychological restoration, limited evidence exists regarding...

Abstract Callithrix comprises primates popularly known as marmosets. In the city of Rio de Janeiro, the occurrence of a hybrid form of invasive species prevails. These animals, treated here as Callithrix spp., host sever...

Abstract Background Outdoor play benefits children’s mental wellbeing, social and cognitive development and physical activity levels. However, children’s outdoor play and physical activity have declined in recent yea...

Abstract The process of industrialization of arid areas can rapidly surpass the pace of environmental monitoring, which leaves a gap in the knowledge of long-term processes of soil degradation. Although conventional moni...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The rapid proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has created an urgent need for robust detection & identification systems to ensure airspace security and safety. However, the scarcity of large-scale, div...
