Soil moisture (SM) is a critical component of the global water cycle, profoundly influencing carbon fluxes and energy exchanges between the land surface and the atmosphere. NASA’s Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) mission provides soil moistu...
Agriculture and forestry remain vital sources of rural employment; yet, both sectors face challenges of low labour productivity, demographic change, and structural inefficiencies. Modernisation improves productivity but often reduces labour demand, c...
Although wetlands are key habitats for biodiversity conservation, they are also among the most threatened ecosystems in the world. They are mainly affected by human pressures and threats, even when they are included in protected areas. The Padule di...
Natural elements such as vegetation, water bodies, and sky, together with artificial elements including buildings and paved surfaces, constitute the core of urban visual environments. Their perception at the pedestrian level not only influences city...
As the driving force of China’s green development, cities play a pivotal role in carbon sequestration, with their green and blue spaces jointly influencing both carbon sequestrations and carbon emissions. Yet, most existing studies rely on line...
Meteorological droughts have been occurring with greater frequency and intensity, impacting water security in various regions. Between 2013 and 2015, the Paraopeba River Basin in southeast Brazil experienced its most severe drought in the last 70 yea...
Understanding spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers of ecosystem service value (ESV) is critical for informing ecological restoration and sustainable land management, particularly in arid inland river basins. Analyzing the spatiotemporal dynamics of ES...
River ecosystems provide essential services that sustain human well-being and ecological integrity, yet their contributions are often underestimated in management and policy decisions. This study aims to develop and validate indicators for quantifyin...
For several years now, urban planning practices have been marked by the proliferation of catchwords, serving as kinds of brands that promote the idea of easy, ready-made, one-size-fits-all ways to tackle planning problems. Among the most recent is th...
Human activities inevitably lead to drastic transformations in land use, thereby significantly impacting natural ecosystems. As a crucial indicator of ecosystem health, habitat quality (HQ) provides appropriate conditions for human survival and devel...
