Rethinking Global Soil Degradation: Drivers, Impacts, and Solutions

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The increasing threat of soil degradation presents significant challenges to soil health, especially within agroecosystems that are vital for food security, climate regulation, and economic stability. This growing concern arises from intricate interactions between land use practices and climatic conditions, which, if not addressed, could ...

How has urban metabolism research contributed to urban resilience? A conceptual review of practices

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 29, Issue 6, Page 2367-2386, December 2025.
Abstract Although the literature indicates that auditing a city's metabolic flows is critical to enhancing the resilience of urban systems, the current knowledge is still unclear about how urban metabolism (UM) research could contribute to urban resilience (UR).

Application of the DPSIR model in marine ecological environmental assessment

Water Policy
ABSTRACT This study applies the DPSIR (Driving Forces-Pressure-State-Impact-Response) framework to evaluate the ecological safety of Anping Port, Taiwan, from 2015 to 2021. Using time series data, the study identifies key indicators, including water transparency, nitrogen oxides, and fuel oil consumption, that ...

Developing a Generic DPSIR Framework for Land Use and Soil Management: A Systems Approach to Maximise Soil Health

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
A generic DPSIR framework for land use and soil management ABSTRACT Human activities have significant impacts on the European terrestrial landscape, contributing to anthropogenic climate change. Soil health, crucial for human life, is at a critical phase, with nearly 70% of European soil considered unhealthy.

Decision‐support tools for pollinators and pollination in agricultural landscapes: A systematic map

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
We systematically mapped tools designed to support pollinators and pollination services in agricultural landscapes. Gaps in decision support tools include fewer tools on wild pollinators, limited coverage of drivers of decline, unspecified target users and pollinators, geographical biases and technical skills requirements.

Exploring Global Water Scarcity Dynamics Through Causal Discovery and Structural Causal Modelling

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Water scarcity represents a critical global challenge driven by diverse complex interactions between natural and anthropogenic factors. Long‐term water scarcity often results in depletion of water resources in so‐called water scarcity hotspots.

Review of Soil Threats and Soil‐Related Ecosystem Services European Maps: Can We Use Them to Study Their Relationships?

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
ABSTRACT The scientific concepts of soil threats (STs) and soil‐related ecosystem services (SESs) are gaining importance and are fueling the debate on natural resources management and decision‐making within the EU. The literature reports numerous assessments of individual STs and SESs at the European scale.
