Despite substantial advancements in understanding species distribution, assessing habitat changes, and evaluating the efficiency of protected areas in recent decades, comprehensive evaluations encompassing all protected species are lacking, impeding conservation strategies. In this study, we gathered 137,856 observations, encompassing 2,605 species, and utilized the MaxEnt model to simulate changes in the current distribution patterns of endangered species and suitable habitats under future scenarios. We further proposed a climate smart approach to optimize the boundaries of protected areas in response to climate change.

Investigating the environmental drivers of reptile species richness and identifying their suitable habitats is a fundamental prerequisite to setting efficient long-term conservation measures. This study focused on geographical patterns and estimations of species richness for herpetofauna widely spread <em>Z. vivipara, N. natrix, V. berus, A. colchica</em>, and protected in Latvia <em>C. austriaca, E. orbicularis, L. agilis</em> inhabiting northern (model territory Latvia) and southern (model territory Ukraine) part of their European range. The ultimate goal was to designate a conservation network that will meet long-term goals for survival of the target species in the context of climate change. We used stacked species distribution models for creating maps depicting the distribution of species richness under current and future (by 2050) climates for marginal reptilepopulations. Using cluster analysis, we showed that this herpeto-complex can be divided into “widespread species” and “forest species”. For all forest species we predicted a climate-driven reduction in their distribution range both North (Latvia) and South (Ukraine). The most vulnerable populations of “forest species” tend to be located in the South of their range, as a consequence of northward shifts by 2050. By 2050 the greatest reduction in range is predicted for currently widely spread <em>Z. vivipara</em> (by 1.4 times) and <em>V. berus</em> (by 2.2 times). In terms of designing an effective protected-area network, these results permit to identify priority conservation areas where the full ensemble of selected reptile species can be found, and confirms the relevance of abiotic multi-factor GIS-modelling for achieving this goal.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52374,"journal":{"name":"Geography and Sustainability","volume":"6 2","pages":"Article 100266"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143395601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A study was conducted in La Rioja (Iberian System, Spain), comparing three post-abandonment management strategies: secondary succession, forest management, and shrub clearing and extensive grazing. These strategies were analysed in two types of soil environments (acid and alkaline) and for two depth ranges (0–20 cm and 20–40 cm). Laboratory analyses were performed on aggregate stability and soil organic carbon fractionation with regard to three aggregate sizes (&lt; 2 mm, 2–5 mm, &gt; 5 mm) and three density fractions (free labile, occluded, and heavy fraction). The results showed that: 1) SOC content in aggregates &lt; 2 mm (relative to total SOC) increases with shrub clearing and grazing strategy in acid environments; 2) aggregate stability benefits from the implementation of afforestation in acid environments and from all three study strategies in alkaline ones; 3) in acid environments, the percentage of labile fractions (free and occluded) in afforested sites is significantly higher compared with shrubland, while in alkaline environments, recalcitrant SOC is significantly higher in shrub clearing sites. Thus, land management should be focused on SOC storage after land abandonment in Mediterranean mountainous environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52374,"journal":{"name":"Geography and Sustainability","volume":"6 2","pages":"Article 100265"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143376585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, this study analyzes policy implications and identifies gaps and barriers that hinder future improvements in the management of ecosystem services. Altogether, 63 documents comprising 45 policies and 18 legislations promulgated by the government of Nepal have been assessed for content analysis. Twenty Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) have also been conducted to obtain expert insights about the gaps in policy formulation and implementation. The results indicate that though several sectoral policies and legislations have made provision on management of ecosystem and its services implicitly or explicitly, still there is lacking of overarching framework to deal with ecosystem services. Overlapping roles and responsibilities outlined in the constitution, policies, and legislation, coupled with weak enforcement and lack of multisectoral coordination mechanism, are significant obstacles to effective policy implementation. Therefore, there is a need to develop an overarching national framework backed up by legislation with a strong multisectoral coordination mechanism that will adopt a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to the sustained management and provision of the ecosystem and its services.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52374,"journal":{"name":"Geography and Sustainability","volume":"6 4","pages":"Article 100263"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143881326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aiming to explore the potential of crop switching as a strategy for mitigating soil erosion in cropland, we develop a spatial optimization model that redistributes the sown areas of different crops in each prefecture-level city based on existing resource availability. Our findings gained from our simulations show that crop switching in China alone can reduce total soil erosion in cropland by an estimated 13 %. Furthermore, combining crop switching with improved agricultural management practices can further reduce soil erosion in cropland by an estimated 25 %. Cereals including maize, wheat, and rice demonstrate significant potential for reducing soil erosion in cropland. Shifting major maize-producing areas northward could result in a substantial decrease in soil erosion, ranging from 10 % to 19 % of historical soil erosion in cropland.

The longest duration of snowmelt floods was observed in the Kashgar and Yarkant River. Basins near mountainous areas are prone to snowmelt floods, especially the Tongtian and Lancang River basins, as well as the Ebinur Lake, Ili River basin, and the rivers south of the Altai Mountains, which face the highest risk of snowmelt floods.

Changing people’s behaviors to reduce carbon emissions can also influence their multiple environmental exposures and further influence their health outcomes. Thus, this study seeks to examine the associations between individuals’ daily carbon footprints and their exposures to multiple environmental factors (i.e., air pollution, noise, and greenspace) across different spatial and temporal contexts using individual-level data collected by portable real-time sensors, an activity-travel diary, and a questionnaire from four communities in Hong Kong. The results first indicated that individuals’ carbon footprints of daily activities varied across different spatial and temporal contexts, with home and nighttime having the highest estimated carbon footprints. We also found that activity carbon footprints have a positive association with PM_2.5, which is particularly strong at home and from morning to nighttime, and mixed associations with noise (positive at home and nighttime, while negative in other places and during travel, from morning to afternoon). Besides, carbon footprints also have consistent negative associations with shrubland and woodland across different spatial and temporal contexts.

Our results reveal widespread human disturbance across global KBAs, with an average Human Footprint Index of 12.3 and a disturbance rate of 62 %. Only one-fifth of KBAs are fully safeguarded by protected areas, and a significant portion remains unprotected, with even many highly protected sites under severe disturbance. Globally, human activities have led to substantial implicit habitat fragmentation in KBAs, resulting in a 70 % average decline in habitat size, with less than half of KBAs maintaining well-connected active habitats. These findings inform the classification of KBAs for priority conservation, with 80 % requiring both intensity regulation and spatial planning of human activities. Higher levels of human disturbance do not necessarily lead to more severe fragmentation, underscoring the potential for relocating or planning human activities to mitigate fragmentation.

At present, there are few studies on optimizing crop planting structure and analyzing its spatial layout with consideration of natural and socio-economic factors. Herein, we proposed a framework for addressing this issue. In this framework, the NSGA-II algorithm was used to construct the multi-objective optimization model of crop planting structures with consideration of water and energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, economic benefits, as well as food, land, and water security constraints, while the model for planting spatial layout optimization was established with consideration of crop suitability using the MaxEnt model and the improved Hungarian algorithm. This framework was further applied in the Black Soil Region of Northeast China (BSRNC) for analyzing optimized crop planting structures and spatial layouts of three main crops (rice, maize, and soybean) under various scenarios. This study showed that the sown area of rice in the BSRNC decreased by up to 40.73 % and 35.30 % in the environmental priority scenario and economic-environmental balance scenario, respectively, whereas that of soybean increased by up to 112.44 % and 63.31 %, respectively. In the economic priority scenario, the sown area of rice increased by up to 93.98 %. Expanding the sown area of soybean was effective in reducing GHG emissions. On the contrary, rice production led to greater environmental costs though it provided higher economic returns. Among the three crops, maize exhibited an advantage in balancing environmental and economic benefits. Hegang-Jixi area in the northeast of the BSRNC was identified as the key area with the most intense crop planting transfer among different scenarios. Overall, this framework provides a new methodology for optimizing crop planting structures and spatial layouts with consideration of the nexus of various factors.
