Advancing ecological civilization in the Yellow River Basin requires a nuanced understanding of the spatiotemporal evolution of ecosystem service value (ESV) and its underlying drivers, which are fundamental to regional sustainable development. This...
Schoenoplectus californicus (Totora) is a wetland plant of cultural and ecological importance, traditionally used for handicrafts and habitat conservation in Andean lakes. This study investigates its vegetative growth in two Andean lakes in Imbabura,...
This narrative review examines how ecological and economic perspectives can be integrated to support ecosystem services management and biodiversity conservation. We synthesize core valuation approaches (accounting-based exchange values versus welfare...
This study was undertaken to evaluate tropical species: Calophyllum brasiliense, Bravaisia integerrima, Roseodendron donnell-smithii, Piscidia piscipula, Enterolobium cyclocarpum, and Dialium guianense. The seeds were arranged in a completely randomi...
The study represents the results of a long-term (2016 to 2021) survey on the herpetofauna inhabiting the vicinity of a heavily loaded section of the road E 87. The investigated road splits a Protected site from the net NATURA 2000 BG0000271 “Ma...
A handful of Sphagnum species and their ecosystems find their southernmost occurrence in the Pyrenees, and these small, relict units are endangered through anthropic activities and climatic change. A number of hydropower reservoirs covered former mir...
Climate change poses serious challenges to Mediterranean crops such as the olive tree (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea), underscoring the need for cultivars with improved drought tolerance and disease resistance. This study investigates variability...
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are secreted by microalgae and contribute to protecting cells from damage induced by cadmium (Cd) exposure. However, the response mechanism of Chlorella sp. to Cd(II) stress as well as associated changes in th...
Microplastic (MP) pollution is an emerging environmental concern, yet its occurrence in remote high-mountain ecosystems remains poorly understood. This study investigated MP contamination in fish from Nero Lake, an alpine lake in northwestern Italy....
The order Decapoda, comprising over 17,000 extant marine species, has maintained a significant association with human societies since ancient times. This prolonged interaction initially centered on their role as a food source, subsequently expanding...
