Zagros Restoration: Smart Choices for Oak Forests

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10284-10307, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Widespread forest degradation across the northern Zagros region of Iran driven by both human activity and natural processes has created an urgent need for targeted afforestation and forest enrichment strategies. Hence, the aim of this study was identifying the most suitable native tree and shrub species for restoring degraded forest areas in ...

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP): Matlab computation software

open access: yesNetwork Biology, 2019
How to determine relative importance (e.g., weight) of nodes or links in a network is one of the focus in network biology. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) can be used to determine weights of edges (i.e., links) and vertices (i.e., nodes) of a network, which is suitable for the hierarchical structure problems hard to be quantified.

Predictive Ecosystem Health Assessment Under Land‐Use and Vegetation Dynamics in a Semi‐Arid Rift Valley Basin, Ethiopia

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10417-10439, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Land degradation driven by rapid land‐use and climate‐driven vegetation dynamics increasingly threatens ecosystem stability in semi‐arid wetland basins, yet predictive ecosystem health assessments remain limited in Sub‐Saharan Africa. This study evaluates historical dynamics and future trajectories of ecosystem health in the Ziway‐Shalla Sub ...

Encroachment on Water Corridors Drives Farmers–Giraffe Conflicts Along River Tana Ecosystem in Eastern Kenya

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Human–wildlife conflict in Garissa County, Kenya, is intensified by the degradation of historical water corridors, driven mainly by Prosopis juliflora invasion, farmland expansion, and riverbank erosion. This study identifies conflict hotspots near water sources and croplands, and shows that supplementary feeding effectively reduces giraffe incursions ...
