Ecological conservation has become a core issue of global concern, and ecosystem services (ES) are fundamental to achieving sustainable development. However, integrated assessments of ES dynamics, spatial heterogeneity, and future land use scenarios in Mongolia remain insufficient. This study utilized Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) data from 2000...

Stubble burning in the Trans Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) significantly contributes to air pollution, posing severe threats to human health and the environment. This study investigates the interactions between stubble burning, vegetation productivity, atmospheric loading, and wind anomalies across the Trans Indo- Gangetic Plain using MODIS burned-area...

Urban heat in rapidly growing megacities is spatially uneven, yet the relative influence of built form, socioeconomic activity and blue-green spatial configuration remains insufficiently resolved in cities of the Global South. This study examines neighbourhood-scale controls on land surface temperature (LST) in Delhi, India, using a single clear...

Flood-dominated floodplains are undergoing rapid land-use and land-cover (LULC) change, with consequences for exposure, ecosystem condition, and local development planning. This study examines historical LULC change, transition intensity, trend-consistent land-use scenarios, and event-based flood exposure in Bongaigaon District, located in the...

Microplastic pollution in tropical urban rivers has become an increasing environmental concern due to rapid urbanization, inadequate waste management, and hydrological transport processes. This study investigated the occurrence, characteristics, and spatiotemporal distribution of microplastics in the Can Tho River, Vietnam, along an urban– peri...

Just as nature is the foundation of life on Earth, biodiversity provides the essential ‘ecosystem services’ required to sustain that foundation (e.g. food, water, medicines, fuel, water and climate regulation, pollination, aesthetic value, recreation, spirituality, education). Yet, globally that foundation is weakening as at least a million animal...

Microplastics (MPs) (<5 mm) are hydrophobic and can't be easily degraded. These particles accumulate due to the excessive discharge of plastic waste from domestic and industrial sources, along with several toxic compounds attached to their surface, are also being deposited in environmental matrices, hampering the sustainable environment and human...

Salinity intrusion has become a critical threat to agricultural stability and water resource management in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), particularly in coastal regions. This study evaluates the efficacy of the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network, a sophisticated deep learning (DL) architecture, for predicting salinity concentrations...

Quantitative monitoring of lake water storage in arid regions is essential for effective management of regional water resources, and can also elucidate the impacts of ecological degradation on lake water storage. This study investigates changes in water storage in Ebinur Lake, Xinjiang, from 2011 to 2024 using field–measured water depth data and...

Single-use plastic waste poses significant environmental challenges, particularly through microplastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems. In this study, a bio-carrier was fabricated from recycled single-use plastic waste, and its performance was evaluated in a laboratory-scale moving bed biofilm reactor combined with membrane filtration (MBBR-MBR)...
