Integrating Ecosystem Service Benefits to Assess Ecosystem Health and Its Response to Land Spatial Structure Conflicts in Anning River Basin, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land spatial structure conflicts (LSSC) weaken the actual benefits of ecosystem services by inducing trade‐offs among them, directly threatening regional ecosystem health (EH) and sustainable development. However, most studies have failed to incorporate ecosystem service benefits (ESB) into EH assessments and have overlooked their response to ...

Mapping coastal vulnerability against erosion along the Alicante coastline, Spain

The assessment of coastal vulnerability helps prioritize investments to increase coastal resilience. This work aims to map the vulnerability of a 12 km coastal stretch of the province of Alicante, Spain. It is an area where natural spaces with wetlands and important dune ridges alternate with highly urbanized spots.

Divergent Blue Carbon Trajectories in the Yellow River Delta Post‐1976 Diversion: Hydrological Stability and Human Disturbance Contrasts Revealed by Multi‐Source Remote Sensing (1984–2023)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coastal wetlands are critical blue carbon sinks, yet their spatiotemporal dynamics under environmental change remain insufficiently quantified. Taking the Yellow River Delta (YRD) as a natural laboratory, this study synthesizes multi‐source remote sensing data, including optical and radar imagery spanning from 1984 to 2023, to explore the ...

Bed‐level tools for monitoring erosion and accretion patterns: Flume validation and field testing

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring short‐term changes in surface sediment elevation is fundamental to understanding erosion, transport, and deposition dynamics in shallow coastal environments. However, commonly used field approaches, such as horizontal markers, sediment erosion tables, subsurface sediment plates, or erosion pins, are not always cross‐validated under ...

Ecosystem retrogression enhances cross‐domain microbial stability and increases the genetic potential for nutrient cycling

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecosystem retrogression drives nutrient depletion, reduced productivity, and profound reorganization of soil microbial communities. Using amplicon sequencing and genome‐resolved metagenomics, we examined how cross‐domain microbial networks and functional gene potential respond to long‐term phosphorus and nitrogen limitation along the well ...

The Study of Coastal Vulnerability in North Insana District, North Central Timor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province (Indonesia)

Jurnal Ilmu Lingkungan
The reduction in mangrove areas, which has caused significant erosion along the north coast of North Central Timor Regency, has implied the need for in-depth studies. This research, aimed to determine the spatial distribution of coastal vulnerability and

Transforming a Poaching Hotspot: Embedded NGO Governance Between State and Community in Southern China

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how a local environmental NGO in southern China transformed Guantouling Hill, once a prominent poaching hotspot along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, into a recognised model of community‐based biodiversity conservation.
