An Ecological Modelling Approach to Support Peru Wildlife Conservation Planning Based on Geospatial Datasets and Remote Sensing Information

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Peru, a megadiverse country, has developed conservation plans for some threatened wildlife species. This study produced spatially explicit data integrating Species Distribution Models (SDMs) into a geospatial analysis of connectivity within the protected areas (PAs) network.

Mapping land subsidence over the eastern Beijing city using satellite radar interferometry

International Journal of Digital Earth, 2018
Beijing City has suffered from groundwater-induced subsidence since the late 1930s and the over-exploration of groundwater could lead to subsidence as much as −12.0 cm yr−1. Previous studies on the ground deformation at Beijing City mainly focused on the

An Explainable and Optimized Machine Learning Framework for Multisensor Remote Sensing‐Based Land Use and Land Cover Classification

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Land use and land cover (LULC) mapping supports environmental monitoring and spatial planning, but classification performance often suffers in feature spaces that combine multiple data sources with redundant predictors. This study compares five feature selection methods (mRMR, ReliefF, Boruta, RFE, HSIC‐Lasso) with three tree‐based classifiers

Environmental heterogeneity and spatial variation mediates plant diversity and ecosystem stability in mountain ecosystems of the Mediterranean Andes

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
Globally, mountains are highly diverse ecosystems that serve as natural laboratories for testing ecological theories, while providing vital ecosystem services. Their biodiversity arises from the interaction between elevational gradients and topographic complexity, which generate strong variation in environmental conditions across short spatial scales ...

Coherence Characteristics of Snow/Ice-Covered Areas Based on Space-Based Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar Observations

Sensors
Coherent space-based InSAR observations over snow- and ice-covered areas have been a valuable resource for cryospheric research. Coherence is considered a critical parameter for evaluating the quality of InSAR observations.

Inventory of Landslides Triggered by Heavy Rainfall in Fuling District, Chongqing, China, June 2019

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study established a comprehensive landslide database triggered by a single rainfall event in Fuling District, Chongqing, China, to improve the accuracy of landslide prediction and early warning models. It provides scientific data support for disaster prevention and reduction in the study area.

Application of SAR Interferometry Using ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 Data as Precise Method to Identify Degraded Peatland Areas Related to Forest Fire

Geosciences, 2019
Deforestation in peatland areas such as Kalimantan, Indonesia has been going on for decades. The deforestation has indirectly increased peatlands to become degraded and flammable.

Seasonal and transient surface displacements in the Kumamoto area, Japan, associated with the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake: implications for seismic-induced groundwater level change

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020
The 2016 Kumamoto earthquake sequence on April 14 (M w 6.2) and April 16 (M w 7.0) altered the regional groundwater level. To better understand the relationship between groundwater level change and surface displacement, we estimated surface displacement ...

Assessing the Potential for Agroforestry in Pokhara, Nepal: An Investigation of the Decline of Agricultural Land Use Along a Rural–Urban Gradient and Land Suitability Analysis

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT An agroforestry program is often considered an ameliorative option for land utilization, agricultural production, and environmental sustainability. However, land suitability for agroforestry is not always readily known to farmers and local policy planners.

Harnessing nature‐based solutions in modified tropical peatland to benefit biodiversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that well‐designed protection–production NbS schemes in tropical peat swamps can deliver joint climate and biodiversity benefits, provided that governance safeguards core forests while improving habitat quality in production zones.
