Is Sustainable Development of Deserts Feasible?

, 2008
Hot deserts that presently cover about one-fifth of the land area of our planet are rapidly devouring more and more arable lands mostly due to anthropogenic causes. We propose an interdisciplinary approach to revitalizing and commercializing hot deserts,

Geophysical investigation of the Santa Marta impact structure—Piauí State, Brazil

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Santa Marta impact structure in northeastern Brazil, recognized as a partially preserved complex crater, was investigated through an integrated geophysical study employing magnetotelluric (MT) and gravity methods. Our research provides constraints on the crater's subsurface architecture.

Trait‐based restoration in African dryland restoration projects: overcoming systemic and scientific barriers for a viable future

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction African dryland restoration continues to show low success rates despite major pledges, due to persistent water scarcity, ecological complexity, and limited use of trait‐based restoration (TBR). Functional trait‐based approaches, which match species selection to adaptive traits, could strengthen ecosystem recovery under arid ...

Integrating food systems into the international climate law and policy framework

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, EarlyView.
Abstract While responsible for nearly one‐third of global greenhouse gas emissions, food systems long remained peripheral to the legal and political architecture of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This article outlines the policy shifts that have led food systems to become increasingly central to the UNFCCC and its ...

Impacts of Migration as Adaptation: Assessing Translocal Social Resilience in Eastern, Northern and Greater Accra Regions, Ghana

Population, Space and Place, Volume 32, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Migration is increasingly recognised as an adaptive strategy to enhance social resilience amid environmental and socioeconomic stressors. However, systematic assessments of its impact on both migrants and their households remain limited. This study applies the translocal social resilience framework to analyse migration outcomes across origin ...

The Significance of Desertification

, 1986
Desertification constitutes a serious potential threat to the future of world food production - but in a rather more complex way than is represented in most of the arguments and figures published so far.
