Soil erosion is one of the most critical forms of land degradation affecting Mediterranean environments, particularly in mountainous regions where steep slopes, intense rainfall, sparse vegetation cover, and fragile lithological formations accelerate soil loss processes. This study aims to assess the spatial distributi...
Over the past three decades, large-scale terrace construction, vegetation restoration, and economic forest expansion have profoundly reshaped watershed geomorphology and vegetation patterns across the Loess Plateau, while altering soil water regimes. Terrace security and vegetation sustainability caused by soil water c...
Land use/land cover (LULC) changes in northern Algeria from 2001 to 2021 were investigated in this research. The assessment utilized the MODIS MCD12Q1 dataset combined with Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. Substantial landscape transformations were highlighted by the findings. Forests (+47.52%), shrublan...
As a vital ecological security barrier and climate regulator in northwestern China, the Qinghai Lake Basin (QLB) holds significant strategic value for regional ecological conservation and national park development. This study, utilizing land use data from 2010 to 2023 and integrating the InVEST and GeoDetector models,...
This study examined the impact of land use and land cover (LULC) changes on the width of the Bua River in Malawi, recognizing LULC change as a major environmental challenge with significant consequences for water and land resources. Deforestation, soil erosion, and agricultural expansion have contributed to land degrad...
