Assessment of Groundwater Recharge Using WetSpass-M and MODFLOW Coupling in Jedeb Watershed, Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia

open access: yesAir, Soil and Water Research
Currently, the demand for water is rising, and as a result, the groundwater is declining. Water supplies are not sufficient for agricultural productivity, environmental preservation, or ecosystem services, resulting in an unbalanced water budget in the ...

Land Use and Land Cover Analysis for Solid Waste Management in NCT Delhi Using Fusion Aware Segformer

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) analysis is a fundamental requirement for urban solid waste management (SWM); however, conventional LULC analysis methods are not well suited to the spatio‐temporal variability, multi‐sensor heterogeneity, and seasonal variations of highly dynamic urban environments.

Mapping Soil Salinity Prediction Enhanced by Time‐Series Remote Sensing Features

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gaining timely knowledge of soil salinity's spatiotemporal dynamics is crucial for accurate mapping. Through temporal span comparisons, this study systematically extracts and utilizes time‐series features (TSFs) derived from Sentinel‐2 and Landsat 8 NDVI and SAVI data (2019–2023) to enhance prediction accuracy. Three datasets were constructed:

Biological Salt‐Pump Effect: Long‐Term Stand Development of Haloxylon ammodendron and Its Role in Reshaping Soil Hydrothermal and Salinity Regimes

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Afforestation in the desert–oasis ecotone induces soil desiccation and secondary salinization. However, the seasonal dynamics of soil water–heat–salt interactions across plantations of different stand ages in arid regions remain unclear. Here, we investigated the seasonal patterns and coupled relationships of soil water–heat–salt dynamics in ...

Asymmetric Responses of Ecosystem Health to Urbanization in a Typical Karst City: Spatiotemporal Patterns and Driving Mechanisms in Guilin, China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion can substantially reshape ecosystem structure and functioning, especially in ecologically fragile Karst landscapes. Clarifying how ecosystem health (EH) responds to urbanization and identifying the factors that drive spatial variation in EH are important for regional sustainability.

Spatial Analysis to Determine Groundwater Recharge Area in Purworejo Regency, Central Java Province/Indonesia

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
The impact of land use change will lead to a reduction of the land that is supposed to be for the groundwater recharge area. The area which is previously as a protected area, becoming a cultivated area.
