Abstract: Two major human-caused threats to ecosystems are habitat modification and the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. To study the combined effect of these threats, the authors used acoustic monitoring of bats along a habitat modification gradient on the island of Okinawa, Japan. During the observation period, the island experienced numerous typhoons and... More
Abstract: Ecological conservation is at a crossroad as environmental stresses around the world intensify and traditional models of conservation exhibit intrinsic weaknesses in their response to present and future problems. In the project, we evaluated novel approaches integrating adaptive management, technological innovations, and community-based action towards more efficient sustainable conservation results and ecosystem resilience. The multi-site... More
Abstract: Different sets of dry spell length such as complete series, monthly maximum, seasonal maximum, and annual maximum are applied and modeled with different probability distribution functions (such as Gumbel Max, generalized extreme value, Log-Logistic, generalized logistic, inverse Gaussian, Log-Pearson 3, generalized Pareto) to recognize in which duration, dry spells cause drought. The drought situation and... More
Abstract: Climate change and biodiversity loss are intricately linked, and as the severity of these challenges intensifies, the need for a cohesive international response has become increasingly evident. Since 1992, South Korea has developed relevant legal and institutional frameworks; however, its initiatives addressing biodiversity loss have received less recognition and prioritization compared to its efforts concerning...

Abstract: Recent trends in globalization, human mobility surge and global trade aggravated the expansion of alien species introduction leading to invasion by alien plants compounded by climate change. The ability to predict the spread of invasive species within the context of climate change holds significance for accurately identifying vulnerable regions and formulating strategies to contain their...

Abstract: Presently the world faces what most likely will be the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced. Climate change is a phenomenon, or rather a set of phenomena, that directly influences the daily lives of human populations all over the planet. However, this influence normally negative also affects ecosystems, with emphasis on agroforestry systems, of... More
Abstract: Peatlands, as a special type of wetland, occupy only 3% of the Earth’s surface, but bear about one-third of the world’s soil carbon storage and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. The Zoige Wetland is located on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and its peat reserves are up to 1.9... More
Abstract: Climate change has many effects on biodiversity. Few studies have focused on the consequences of climate change on biodiversity in West Africa Sahel which is one of the most sensitive regions to climate change. Thus, this study examined the different effects of climate change on biodiversity in West Africa Sahel to guide climate policies. The... More
Abstract: Forest areas with special purpose (FASP) are decentralized management rights of state forest areas for universities and research institutions. The area of FASP management licenses continues to increase, as recorded in 2019, covering an area of 37,569 ha. At the end of 2024, there are 45 FASPs in Indonesia with a total area of 107,085.91...

Abstract: Seagrass meadows provide important ecological functions, particularly by serving as carbon sinks and breeding grounds for marine species. Climate change has threatened seagrass communities, causing their replacement, loss and increased vulnerability. This review examined scholarly articles published between 2010-2021 to comprehensively present the impacts of climate change on seagrass meadows. It shows that ocean warming... More
Abstract: This study comprehensively examines the multifaceted impact of climate change on Morocco’s ecological sustainability and economic development, focusing on four critical environmental stressors: water stress, deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and rising temperatures. These interrelated factors contribute significantly to the degradation of natural ecosystems, the decline in biodiversity, reductions in carbon sequestration, and the disruption of... More
