Management priorities, like climate change, is effective in the distribution of endangered species. To develop effective management and conservation strategies for the future, it is necessary to understand the current species potential distributions. However, for most species, few data are available on their current distributions, let alone on projected future distributions. Kelussia odoratissima Mozaffarian is an endemic perennial and medicinal forb species. The evaluation of <em>K. odoratissima</em>'s conservation status places it within the Endangered (EN) category according to the IUCN classification. We demonstrated the benefits of Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) for predicting the distribution of endangered and medicinal <em>K. odoratissima</em> species using expert opinion. An influence diagram was developed to recognize the important factors influencing habitat suitability <em>K. odoratissima</em>, and it was populated with probabilities to produce a BBNs model. The behavior of the model was examined using sensitivity analysis. Environmental suitability, management condition, climate suitability, utilization time and levels were identified as the main variables influencing habitat suitability of <em>K. odoratissima</em>. The generated BBNs model had good accuracy because the ROC area under the curve was 0.918. We aim to demonstrate the ability of this approach to integrate field studies with expert knowledge, especially when empirical data are lacking. The BBNs model excels at illustrating species-habitat relationships and rapidly estimating habitat suitability, serving as a valuable tool for conservationists and decision-makers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34794,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Challenges","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 101192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the study sought to evaluate the well-being of residents currently residing in these coastal communities and its significant determinants. The study employed mixed methods. In-depth interviews with six community leaders and twelve residents, along with documentary reviews, were conducted to analyze the process of aquaculture-related livelihood changes. Subsequently, questionnaire surveys with 177 residents were administered in July 2024. Chronological analysis based on documentary reviews and in-depth interviews was conducted to examine changes in livelihood strategies over time, from 1967 to the present (2024). Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to test the association between residents’ well-being and relevant factors, including livelihood-related variables, socio-demographic characteristics, and individual resilience to undesirable events. The results demonstrated that, due to changes in environmental quality (e.g., contaminated water resources, soil pollution, the introduction of invasive species, and loss of mangrove forests) and the occurrence of environmental hazards (e.g., heavy rainfall, high water temperatures, sea-level rise, and land erosion), communities’ natural assets deteriorated. Several households shifted their livelihood strategies from pure aquaculture to partial aquaculture or non-aquaculture livelihoods. Some households maintained pure aquaculture livelihoods by adopting adaptation strategies in aquaculture practices but were largely unsuccessful in coping with environmental hazards. The results of the multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that residents with pure aquaculture livelihoods were more likely to experience low levels of well-being. Furthermore, low well-being was also associated with larger family sizes, low household incomes, and low levels of financial, environmental, and social resilience to undesirable shocks. Therefore, it could be suggested that, amid environmental crises in the area, livelihood diversification is essential for pure-fishery households, particularly those with larger family sizes. Building financial, social, and environmental resilience should also be promoted to enhance residents’ well-being.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34794,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Challenges","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 101187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144138121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike previous research that primarily examines SGTT in urban tourism, this study uniquely investigates its application in diverse natural tourism contexts. Grounded in these two theoretical perspectives, the research explores the extent to which smart technologies influence tourists' revisit intentions, recommendations, and the intention to buy local products, with particular attention to the differential effects of each smart tourism component. The study addresses the theoretical gap regarding the extent to which smart technologies enhance or detract from the authenticity of natural tourism experiences, while also promoting sustainable behaviors. Furthermore, this research contributes to the debate on the paradox of technology in tourism by examining how the introduction of SGTT can either enhance or undermine authenticity. By differentiating between the roles of STH, STE, and STS, the study provides empirical insights into how different types of smart tourism technologies—particularly service-based platforms— may influence sustainable choices while preserving or challenging perceived authenticity. Using a sample of 400 tourists in Thailand, the research employs structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the relationships between natural tourism types, smart technologies, and tourist intentions. The findings reveal that while Smart Tourism Services (STS) significantly enhance tourist intentions, Smart Tourism Hubs (STH) and Smart Tourism Experiences (STE) demonstrate more limited or non-significant influence, suggesting their impact may depend heavily on context and user expectations. This nuanced perspective advances theoretical discourse by demonstrating that different smart tourism technologies yield varying levels of influence on tourist behavior.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34794,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Challenges","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 101171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study, we found that second-growth forests invaded by <em>Gliricidia</em> although quickly accumulated carbon, it impeded biodiversity. We suggest that the plantation of invasive species might create obstruction to achieve the goals of REDD+ and UN resolutions on ecosystem restoration.

South Asia’s potato production is particularly vulnerable to increasing climatic threats, such as terminal heat, erratic rainfall, and other climate-induced hazards that jeopardize agricultural sustainability. Despite these escalating risks, there is a critical gap in knowledge regarding the effectiveness of climate-smart adaptation strategies tailored for potato cultivation in this context.

Results indicated substantial yield improvements with mulching (28.30%), planting date adjustments (28.11%), stress-tolerant genotypes (23.22%), and irrigation management (22.86%), demonstrating their transformative potential. However, the high variability observed in strategies like mulching (τ² = 11.60) and organic farming (τ² = 7.23) highlights the necessity for site-specific customization, while consistent outcomes in intercropping, nutrient management, crop rotation, and stress tolerance (τ² = 0.00) confirm their broad applicability. The absence of significant publication bias (Egger p-value &gt; 0.05) and robust sensitivity analyses validate the reliability of these findings.
