The Unfolding Desert: Observed Structural Drying and Projected Aridity Risks in a Brazilian Family Farming Citizenship Territory

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aridification in Semiarid regions is a recurring theme in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and has been documented in Northeastern Brazil. This study analyzes the spatiotemporal dynamics of aridification in the Lower São Francisco River “Citizenship Territory” (Sergipe and Alagoas) at a fine spatial resolution (~1 km ...

Heterogeneity and Controlling Mechanisms of Soil Organic Carbon Stocks Across Erosion Zones in China Under Future Climate Scenarios

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC), as a key indicator of global carbon cycling and climate change response, plays a critical role in regional ecological security and agricultural sustainability. This study employs three machine learning models including the LightGBM, XGBoost, and random forest to simulate the spatial distribution of topsoil SOC stocks

Optimization of Land Pattern in Mining Area Based on the Improvement of Ecosystem Service Function—A Case Study of Fushun Mining Area

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining activities are prevalent worldwide and pose significant threats to the supply of ecosystem services (ESs) for humanity. Many mining areas face challenges related to recovery and reclamation following resource depletion. A key challenge for the sustainable development of these areas is how to achieve collaborative optimization of land ...

From Past to Future: Overall Patterns, Nonlinear Relationships, Spatial Heterogeneity and Drivers of Ecosystem Service Trade‐Offs and Synergies in the Yangtze River Economic Belt

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land‐use change and climate change are reshaping watershed ecological functions and may intensify the risk of localized ecological degradation. However, existing studies have primarily focused on the spatiotemporal patterns of ecosystem services (ESs) during historical periods, while the nonlinear changes, spatial heterogeneity, and driving ...

Future Soil Erosion Under Combined CMIP6 Climate Projections and Land Use/Land Cover Change: A RUSLE‐Based Assessment of the Kampe Omi Dam Basin in Nigeria

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion remains a major environmental challenge in Nigeria, driven by the combined effects of climate variability and land use/land cover (LULC) changes. Understanding future dynamics is essential for effective soil conservation planning.

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species

Oikos, EarlyView.
There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

On-site health service delivery models at syringe services programs in the United States: Results of a national cross-sectional survey

Drug and Alcohol Dependence Reports
Background: People who inject drugs (PWID) have many needs for health services, but frequently lack access to and/or do not utilize those services. Syringe services programs (SSPs) are low-stigma environments where health services can be provided, but ...
