The demand for intensive agriculture to boost food and crop production has increased. High nitrogen (N) fertilizer use is crucial for increasing agricultural productivity but often leads to significant nitrate losses, posing risks to surface and grou...
Assessing community-level resilience and implementing strategies to enhance it are essential for maintaining fundamental community functions, coping with and mitigating risks, effectively reducing hazards, and promoting sustainable regional developme...
The objective of this research is to determine the meteorological drought index and the effective rainfall model that exhibit the highest correlation with the yield of rainfed wheat in the Karkheh watershed. Additionally, using spatial statistics ana...
The study specifies the changes in radon activity concentration (RAC) in soil gas with depth and emphasizes the significance of the meteorological factor for deeper boreholes. Radon activity concentration was measured in 0.6 m, 1 m and 1.5 m borehole...
Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) can involve injecting available surface water into an unconfined aquifer and then extracting it to provide secondary water for irrigation. This study demonstrates a method for evaluating the appropriateness of stead...
Species distribution modeling (SDM) is a vital tool for ecological and biogeographical research, allowing precise predictions of species distributions based on environmental variables. This study reviews the evolution of SDM techniques from 1985 to 2...
The increasing demand for large-scale, high-frequency environmental monitoring has driven the adoption of satellite-based technologies for effective forest management, especially in the context of climate change. This study explores the potential of...
The Lobo reservoir, designed to supply water to the Daloa city population (central west of Côte d’Ivoire), is facing the phenomenon of eutrophication due to the agricultural plots located upstream of the reservoir inputs. Studies have hig...
The Irawan Watershed in Puerto Princesa, Philippines, is an important resource that supports domestic, agricultural, and industrial water needs. This study applies the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model to project the impacts of climate chang...

Urban water systems are increasingly vulnerable to climate change. Traditional planning, often based on past conditions, fails to address these new challenges. We suggest policy options for integrating climate scenarios into urban water planning, whi...
Maintaining the operability of a hydroelectric power station at a scale originally designed is being compromised by continuous reservoir sedimentation. The underlying factors include a complex mix of landscape alterations owing to natural and anthrop...
South America has experienced significant changes in climate patterns over recent decades, particularly in terms of precipitation and temperature extremes. This study analyzes trends in climate extremes from 1979 to 2020 across South America, focusin...
The living lab (LL) concept has a significant potential to drive sustainable development, particularly in the bioeconomy sector, by assisting communities in improving their quality of life whilst also considering the environmental impact. In this con...
Landslides and their resulting impacts on property and human life have become an ongoing challenge in the hilly regions of Bangladesh. This study aims to systematically review diverse landslide studies in Bangladesh, particularly focusing on landslid...
Mozambique is confronted with numerous risks related to food security and natural disasters. The study conducted a literature review on natural hazards and food security. This can help to identify gaps and further areas of research. A bibliometric an...
Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASCGM) provides a livelihood for many communities worldwide, but it has profound environmental impacts, especially on the quality of nearby water resources. This study assessed the impacts of ASCGM on the physic...
This systematic review evaluates the health impacts of climate-induced extreme weather events and the effectiveness of various adaptation strategies. Seventeen studies were analyzed, focusing on adaptation measures such as agricultural adjustments, r...
Conflicts between wildlife and humans are a major ecological issue. During migration, wildlife, especially wildebeest, often encounter significant environmental pressures from human activities. However, relatively few studies have been conducted to p...
Being located in the middle of Southern Europe, and thus likely representing a particularly dynamic member of Mediterranean Europe, Italy has experienced a sudden increase in early desertification risk because of multiple factors of change. Long-term...
Landslides are widespread and global geological disasters, affecting millions of people and causing numerous deaths each year. Despite technological advances, it is still difficult to accurately prevent landslides. Due to its geography and climatic c...
Agroforestry systems are recognized as sustainable land use practices that foster environmental health and promote adaptive responses to global change. By harnessing the synergies between trees and agricultural activities, agroforestry systems provid...
Arctic coastlines are the most vulnerable regions of the Earth, and local communities in those areas are being affected by rising sea levels and temperature. Therefore, Earth Observation combined with up-to-date geoinformation tools offers a dependab...
This article presents the correlation between the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) and the area planted, production in tons, and productive yield for various crops in Colombia from 2018 to 2021. The aim of this study is to determine the relations...
The urban heat island phenomenon is a climatic condition in which urbanized areas exhibit higher temperature values than their natural surroundings. This occurs due to an unbalanced energy budget caused by the extensive use of synthetic materials. In...
The present study aims to assess the tectonic activity in the South Setifian allochthonous complex, providing insights into the evolution of the landscape. A morphometric analysis of Jebel Youcef Mountain (JYM) in Eastern Algeria was conducted to ass...
Agricultural production or rural activities can involve the emission of unpleasant gases, malodors, or most commonly, greenhouse gases. In any case, the control and monitoring of such emissions in rural, unattended, and remote locations represent an...
