Energy Options to Reduce Deforestation Using EKC Model: A Region‐Based Longitudinal Approach
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Forests are carbon storage that can reduce carbon emissions, so deforestation (decrease in forest area) is a serious threat to environmental sustainability. Indonesia is a large carbon sink due to its large forests. However, deforestation is quite high due to economic activities that use fossil energy.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global challenge, threatening biodiversity, food security, and livelihoods. Ecological restoration has therefore become a priority, with aerial seeding emerging as a key method to address issues of scale, accessibility, and efficiency. By dispersing seeds from aircraft or drones, aerial seeding complements ground‐

Forest Conversion Reduces Soil Water Retention in Tropical Rainforest
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extensive primary forests are being converted to secondary forests and plantations owing to human activities in recent decades, which have substantial effects on soil hydrological processes. However, the potential impact of forest conversion on soil water retention remains poorly understood.
