Desertification is a serious threat to human survival and to ecosystems, especially to inland desert oases. An assessment of desertification severity is essential to ensure national sustainable development for agricultural and land expansion pro[...]Article
The study involved an in-depth analysis of the main land cover and land use data available nationwide for the Italian territory, in order to produce a reliable cartography for the evaluation of ecosystem services. In detail, data from the land m[...]Article
A. Dornik ; M.A. Chetan ; L. Dragut ; A. Iliuta ; D.D. Dicu |Land suitability assessment (LSA) provides geospatial information about growing crops where they are best suited and can play a crucial role in addressing contemporary challenges such as feeding 9 billion people by 2050, coping with climate chan[...]Article
G. Cecili ; P. De Fioravante ; L. Congedo ; M. Marchetti ; M. Munafò |In recent years, deep learning (DL) algorithms have been widely integrated for remote sensing image classification, but fewer studies have applied it for land consumption (LC). LC is the main factor in land transformation dynamics and it is the [...]Article
We are currently living in the era of big data. The volume of collected or archived geospatial data for land use and land cover (LULC) mapping including remotely sensed satellite imagery and auxiliary geospatial datasets is increasing. Innovativ[...]Article
Agriculture has been identified as one of the main drivers of environmental degradation in the European Union (EU). It can have negative impacts on air, water, soil and biodiversity. The condition of agroecosystems is affected by soil degradatio[...]Article
L. Battisti ; F. Larcher ; S. Grella ; N. Di Bartolo ; M. Devecchi |The Natura 2000 network is an ecological network covering the whole territory of the European Union to ensure the long-term maintenance of threatened or rare natural habitats and species of flora and fauna, including in metropolitan and rural ar[...]Article
Global environmental changes, including landscape fragmentation, are threatening the integrity of ecosystems and reducing their capacity to deliver ecosystem services. Spatial configuration of a green network supports ecological functions and se[...]Article
Groundwater is a vital water resource for economic, agricultural, and domestic purposes in arid regions. To reduce water scarcity in arid regions, recently, remote sensing and GIS techniques have been successfully applied to predict areas with p[...]Article
For more than 30 years, the LEADER approach has been a key tool in the endogenous, local, participatory, and sustainable development of the most disadvantaged European rural areas in demographic and socioeconomic terms. However, despite the unqu[...]Article
S. Hakkou ; M. Sabir ; N. Machouri |Les truffes constituent au Maroc une ressource naturelle importante pour léconomie rurale et peuvent jouer un rôle important dans lallégement de la pression sur les ressources forestières et pastorales. Cependant, on note un manque de connaiss[...]Article

Batchi |Landsat time-series with 10-year intervals from 1991 to 2021 were used to extract information on land use and land cover (LULC) changes in the Ternata oasis over the past thirty years by using maximum likelihood classification (MLC) and the norm[...]Article
Novel spatial models for appraising arable land resources using data processing techniques can increase insight into agroecosystem services. Hence, the principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchal cluster analysis (HCA), analytical hierarchy p[...]Article
R. Salvia ; A. Colantoni ; L. Bianchini ; G. Egidi ; G. Polinesi ; L. Salvati ; G. Quaranta |Although sustainable development and desertification risk are hegemonic concepts in environmental economics, their intimate relationship was occasionally studied and made spatially explicit. The present study contributes to fill this knowledge g[...]Article
Agricultural water appropriation has undergone rapid changes in recent decades, but estimates of global water appropriation have not been updated with the latest data and consistent methods. Documenting these changes is challenging given the het[...]Article
Soil, a non-renewable resource, sustains life on Earth by supporting around 95% of global food production and providing ecosystem services such as biomass production, filtration of contaminants and transfer of mass and energy between spheres. Un[...]Article
E. Madene ; A. Boufekane ; M. Meddi ; G. Busico ; A. Zghibi |The proposed study aims to assess groundwater quality and suitability of the Upper and Middle Cheliff plains (northwest of Algeria) for irrigation and drinking. Here the groundwater is the main source for domestic, agricultural and industrial ac[...]Article
C. Grimene ; O. Mghirbi ; S. Louvet ; J.-P. Bord ; P. Le Grusse |The preservation of natural resources via the management of diffuse pollution is currently considered to be a significant challenge in France. Pollution reduction policies are notably based on the identification of vulnerable areas. In this cont[...]Article
