Spatial and temporal zoning of watershed resilience using a multidimensional composition approach

Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 36, Issue 2, May 2023., 2023
Abstract The present initiative study has been planned to develop a conceptual model for watershed resilience for which rare documents have been reported yet, particularly in developing countries where such studies are necessary. In this vein, different ecological, social, economic, and infrastructural and cultural key domains were applied for the ...

Linking soil health and ecological resilience to achieve agricultural sustainability

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 131-139, April 2023., 2023
Healthy soil is critical for global food security and other essential ecosystem services but is threatened by processes of soil degradation, with at least 33% of global croplands estimated to be moderately or highly degraded. Current soil health assessments provide insight into soil functional performance but often lack diagnostic criteria that assess ...
