Socio‐Ecological Impacts of the Investment of Urban Nature in Heat Mitigation for Two Megacities
Abstract Cities are increasingly adapting green interventions meant to enhance climate resilience, given their capacity to provide numerous ecosystem services (ES). Yet, little is known about ecological and social impacts of such interventions in the context of socio‐ecological framework and environmental justice.

Climate‐related drivers of migratory bird health in the south‐central USA
ABSTRACT Migratory birds are species of concern that play important ecological roles while also supporting recreational opportunities for the hunting and birdwatching public. Direct and indirect effects of climate variability, extremes, and change on migratory bird health manifest at the individual, population, species, and community levels.

Effectiveness of protected areas in the Caucasus Mountains in preventing rangeland degradation
Abstract As land use intensifies globally, it increasingly exerts pressure on protected areas. Despite open, nonforested landscapes comprising up to 40% of protected areas globally, assessments have predominately focused on forests, overlooking the major pressures on rangelands from livestock overgrazing and land conversion.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the impacts of climate change and land‐use changes on peak discharge and runoff behavior in the western watersheds of Lake Urmia, Iran. Employing machine learning algorithms (e.g., SVM), stochastic models (e.g., CA‐MARKOV), ERA5 reanalysis climate data, and the large‐scale hydrological VIC model, we assessed these ...

Analysis of the Utilization of Machine Learning to Map Flood Susceptibility
ABSTRACT This article provides an analysis of the utilization of Machine Learning (ML) models in Flood Susceptibility Mapping (FSM), based on selected publications from the past decade (2013–2023). Recognizing the challenge that some stages of ML modeling inherently rely on experience or trial‐and‐error approaches, this work aims at establishing a ...
