Recognizable and distinctive streets are essential not only for navigation but also for fostering place identity and therefore socio-environmental sustainability in cities. The recognition depends on both high-level visual features (e.g., buildings,...
Active restoration structures such as microtopographic water-harvesting designs are widely implemented in dryland ecosystems to improve soil moisture, reduce erosion, and promote vegetation recovery. We assessed the combined effects of planted specie...
The 2025 large-scale forest fire in North Gyeongsang Province (Gyeongbuk) caused habitat fragmentation and disrupted ecological networks. This study quantitatively assessed both structural and functional connectivity loss and derived scientifically g...
South Africa’s land reform program is a cornerstone of efforts to redress historical injustices, guided by the 1997 White Paper on Land Reform Policy and structured around restitution, redistribution, and tenure reform. Three decades into imple...
Many cities worldwide face decline due to mineral-resource exhaustion, with mining-induced subsidence and land degradation posing urgent land use challenges. At the same time, carbon neutrality has become a global agenda, promoting ecological restora...
Landscape fragmentation as a process of landscape transformation affects the structure and composition of plant communities; however, relationships between fragmentation metrics and vegetation characteristics often remain weakly expressed and difficu...
Against the backdrop of accelerating population aging, urban green spaces have become primary venues for elderly daily activities, with their winter thermal comfort emerging as a critical determinant of senior wellbeing. However, existing studies lac...
The SDG 15.3.1 framework provides a standardized approach using land use/land cover (LULC) change, land productivity, and soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics to assess land degradation. However, SDG 15.3.1. faces limitations like coarse resolutions of...
Enhancing the carbon sequestration (CS) capacity of urban green spaces is crucial for mitigating global warming, environmental degradation, and urbanisation-induced issues. This study focuses on the urban community unit to establish a system of deter...
The Colombian Orinoquia was shaped within a tectonic and sedimentary framework linked to the uplift of the Andean cordilleras during the Oligocene–Miocene. This orogenic event generated two tectonic fronts and facilitated extensive fluvial sedi...
