Spatiotemporal Medicare Reimbursement Trends and Economic Clusters in Otologic/Neurotologic Surgery

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Despite a 16.2% increase in Medicare‐reimbursed otologic/neurotologic procedural volume from 2012 to 2024, inflation‐adjusted reimbursement per service declined by 29.1%, resulting in reduced aggregate spending over time. Shapley decomposition demonstrated that reimbursement erosion, rather than decreased utilization, was the primary driver of spending

Climate‐Smart Destination Marketing and Community‐Based Tourism for Socio‐Economic Revitalization in Degraded Landscapes

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the global tourism industry confronts the existential imperatives of the Anthropocene, the remediation of degraded landscapes through regenerative economic models has emerged as a critical frontier in sustainability science. This research presents a rigorous empirical examination of the “restoration–revenue” paradigm, investigating the ...

Assessing Soil Erosion in a Typical Karst Region: A Model Improved by Bedrock Exposure Rate in Guizhou Province

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion is a major environmental challenge in karst regions of Southwest China, where thin soils and high bedrock exposure accelerate land degradation. This study modified the RUSLE model by incorporating bedrock exposure rate to improve erosion simulation in Guizhou Province from 2000 to 2024.

Spatially Heterogeneous and Nonlinear Responses of Ecosystem Service Value to Human Activity Intensity in an Arid Mountain–Oasis–Desert Urban Agglomeration

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid urbanization and agricultural expansion are reshaping human–environment relationships in arid regions; however, the spatially heterogeneous and nonlinear relationships between human activities and ecosystem services remain insufficiently understood.

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

open access: yesLand 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 ...
