Creation of a Landslide Susceptibility Map Using Short‐Term Data From the July 2018 Heavy Rainfall in Southern Hiroshima Prefecture

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
This work advances landslide susceptibility mapping by incorporating short‐term trigger data with landscape susceptibility mapping. We also examine the importance of downsampling, watershed delineation and geospatial correlations in evaluating outcomes.

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Both density‐ and frequency‐dependent effects determine plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem

Oikos, EarlyView.
We tested the hypothesis that both density‐ and frequency‐dependent interactions play important roles in determining plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem at several levels of available nitrogen. Plant growth was measured using the pin‐point method in a five‐block experiment with four nitrogen levels.

Experimental characterization of a new sustainable sand concrete in an aggressive environment

Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2020
The scarcity of building materials and the shortage of coarse aggregates which represents the main component of concrete is a problem in the most third world countries, especially in the vast desert areas in Algeria.

Habitat loss reshuffles ecological and evolutionary interactions in a seed dispersal network

Oikos, EarlyView.
In tropical forests, habitat loss reshapes species composition, favoring generalists and recently emerged lineages while specialists and older evolutionary lineages are lost. However, how changes in species ecological attributes and evolutionary history affect ecological processes is poorly explored.

Estimating Grain Sizes of Martian Dune Sand: A Freeware‐Based Methodology With Initial Results

Earth and Space Science
Grain sizes of Martian sand dunes are critical sedimentological data on sand provenance and transport pathways. Thermal inertia values are used to characterize the grain sizes of dune sand. Most early characterizations involved single dune fields. Recent

High-resolution remapping of the coastal dune fields of south east Queensland, Australia: a morphometric approach

Journal of Maps, 2019
The sand islands and shore-attached dune fields of south east Queensland form the world’s oldest and largest coastal sand dune system. Here we present updated morphological maps for the dune fields based on topographic expression and geomorphic ...

Detecting social‐ecological fit in Natura 2000 governance and management: Evidence from LIFE projects focused on forest protected habitat types

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Protected areas represent complex social‐ecological systems that require governance and management approaches that valorise and enhance positive relationships between people and nature. This study analyses the alignment between social and ecological systems to detect the social‐ecological fit of projects focused on biodiversity conservation ...
