Analysis of dedicated revenue scale and diversity among U.S. state fish and wildlife agencies

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Most revenue for state fish and wildlife agencies originates from 3 sources: 1) hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses; 2) Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Grants; and 3) Federal Aid in Sportfish Restoration Grants. However, states also generate substantial revenue through 22 additional unique mechanisms, ranging from sales taxes to license plate ...

Multi‐Scale Drivers of Food‐Water‐Energy Related Ecosystem Services in the Context of Land Degradation: Insights From the Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei Agglomeration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation poses significant challenges to maintaining food–water–energy (FWE) security, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. The ecosystem services (ES) related to FWE are critical for sustainable regional development. Yet, rapid urbanization in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region has altered land use and ecological patterns ...

Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Gender and Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN): Evaluating Nigeria's Legislative Framework for Achieving Gender‐Equitable LDN Outcomes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Legislative frameworks that support gender equality are crucial for addressing structural inequalities, protecting women's rights, and achieving gender‐equitable land degradation neutrality (LDN) outcomes. This study examines the extent to which national‐level policies and legislation governing LDN and related sectors incorporate gender ...

Soil Nail Design Optimization Through Adaptive Slope Stability Analysis Using Improved Limit Equilibrium Method

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Design optimization for automatically generating optimal design results is a promising technique for enhancing the efficiency of design processes and outcomes. However, its development for soil nail reinforced slopes is limited since the traditional slope stability analysis using the limit equilibrium method (LEM) becomes relatively time ...
