Many Neotropical parrots are threatened or in danger of extinction due to exploitation and habitat destruction, but mitigating impacts is difficult because key components of their ecology, such as home range sizes, seasonal movements, effective popul...
This study investigates the effects of rapid urban development on changes in Land Surface Temperatures (LSTs) in the Tuticorin district of Tamil Nadu, India, and their relationship with Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) between 1998 and 2024. The population...
Habitat fragmentation and human direct intervention in river morphology and hydrology has become one of the severe issues of fluvial ecosystems within the Balkan Peninsula. Thus, it is critical to research and protect native eel habitats. The Balkans...
Land degradation in dryland regions is strongly influenced by climate variability and limited water availability. However, long-term relationships between climate drivers and vegetation dynamics remain poorly understood in many dryland regions of Ira...
The land surface temperature (LST) is a critical parameter in land–atmosphere exchange processes and urban climate regulation. This study quantifies the spatio-temporal relationship between the fractional vegetation cover (FVC) and Landsat-deri...
The soil-biosphere nexus is a critical component embedded in the concepts of soil security and ecosystem services (ES) and is directly linked to several global challenges identified by the United Nations (UN). Although soil security has been proposed...
Agricultural drought is an important issue for food security, water availability and rural livelihoods, particularly in the semi-arid regions of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, especially in Sivagangai District. This study combines multi-temporal rem...
Rapid urbanization in tropical Asia has fundamentally transformed land use–land cover while intensifying urban thermal stress, yet the relationship between land cover change and thermal conditions is frequently assumed to be spatially uniform....
Wildlife plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity, relying on habitats that provide shelter, food, and essential resources. This study investigated wildlife distribution and diversity across the REDD+ program area in Camb...
Lokoja, the capital of Kogi State, Nigeria, situated at the confluence of the Niger and Benue Rivers, has experienced rapid urban expansion alongside heightened environmental risks, including flooding and ecosystem degradation. Using multi-temporal L...
Mining activities severely degrade soil quality, impairing ecosystem functioning by reducing organic matter and increasing metal toxicity, which limits plant establishment. This study evaluated the effects of vermicompost and arbuscular mycorrhizal f...
The state of São Paulo is home to remnants of the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado biomes, both of which face intense anthropogenic pressure and hight fragmentation. In this context, Environmental Recovery Commitment Agreements (TCRAs) serve as ess...
A substantial number of potential underground carbon storage reservoirs exist in regions that contain permafrost (continuously frozen layers of the subsurface), such as in the Alaskan North Slope. The extent and depth of these permafrost layers are c...
Invasive alien species (IAS) can cause the extinction of a taxon. However, debate continues over the significance of IAS as drivers of extinction globally, the level of threat they pose to endangered species, and whether conservation efforts against...
Globally, timber production continues to dominate multiple-use forest management despite evidence from many managed landscapes that ecological integrity and biodiversity are not being sustained under that land-use model. This includes Algonquin Park...
Economic connectedness has been recently found to lower income inequality by rising intergenerational mobility, yet its environmental impacts are less well known. More well-known is the fact that the non-carbon footprint is easier to reach via regula...
Analysis of historical and future land use/land cover (LULC) dynamics using spatiotemporal data is crucial for better management of natural resources and environmental monitoring. This study investigated LULC transformations over a span of 60 years (...
Potassium (K) is present in soils mainly in minerals, including feldspar. However, most of it is unavailable to plants. In the in-dyked alluvial soils of the Mekong Delta, available K is typically low despite the abundance of K-bearing feldspar, lead...
Organo-mineral fertilizers can slow N release to plants, reducing N losses to the environment and enhancing N use efficiency (NUE). Yet, this greater NUE is not always coupled to greater crop yields, which warrants further investigation. Here, we ass...
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) is an important agreement committing 196 countries (the United States is not part of GBF) to reduce and stop the loss of biodiversity by 2030. Biodiversity and soil diversity (pedodiversity) ar...
Wetlands provide the world with important ecosystem services (ES) including carbon (C) storage. The Ramsar Convention (RC) is the only global treaty on wetlands outside of the United Nations (UN) with 172 contracting parties across the world as of 20...
We are delighted to announce the launch of Biosphere (ISSN 3042-6111) [...]
