On the compatibility of single‐scan terrestrial LiDAR with digital photogrammetry and field inventory metrics of vegetation structure in forest and agroforestry landscapes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The single‐scan approach to terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and the self‐terrain‐normalized form of drone‐based digital aerial photogrammetry (DAP) offer practical options for rapid assessment of the vegetation structure in tropical landscapes.

Soil erosion responses to climate change in a tropical monsoon‐dominated river basin ‐ A geospatial perspective

River, EarlyView.
Climate change is projected to intensify soil erosion in the Chalakkudy River Basin, with bare lands and steep uplands emerging as the most vulnerable hotspots under high‐emission scenarios. Forested areas showed greater resistance to soil erosion, highlighting the importance of targeted soil conservation for sustainable watershed management in ...

Social, Technological, Economic, and Policy Factors in the Circular Economy Transition in Brazil

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A well‐functioning circular economy (CE) integrates resilience across economic, environmental, and social dimensions. This study identifies key drivers and barriers to Brazil's CE transition through 20 semi‐structured interviews with stakeholders. Major sociocultural barriers include inadequate education and limited CE awareness, while growing
