Soil organic matter (SOM) can be a helpful indicator of soil health in terms of the impact of land use changes. Kar et al., 2023 examined the soil health after land use conversion in India's North-West Himalayan region by using the stratification ratio (SR) of soil organic carbon and total nitrogen (TN) as indicators. The results indicate that land use change to conventional tillage (CT) significantly reduces SR and SOM, while conservation agriculture (CA) help restore the SR levels closer to those of forest land use. The authors suggest that CA is a suitable alternative to CT for improving soil quality and maintaining sustainable soil management practices.
The article highlights the critical and complex interactions between climate/environmental changes and nutrition, emphasizing that addressing these issues requires an integrated, ecological approach. US government initiatives and research efforts are actively working to understand and mitigate these impacts, with the ADVANTAGE initiative playing a pivotal role in exploring these intersections. The article calls for a comprehensive understanding of "nutrition ecology" to effectively promote health and prevent disease, ultimately aiming to meet global nutrition targets.
This article supports SDG # 3, 11 and 13 showing how even in wealthy countries, climate change is causing an acceleration of extremely costly disasters, and the authors provide a framework for disaster risk reduction that is applicable to climate change.
This article advances SDG # 3, 6, 10, 11 and 13 by showing the interaction between poverty, climate change, and health consequences in slum communities in Ghana. Understanding the direct perspective of people “on the ground” can provide solutions that decrease the severe consequences of climate change and extreme weather events in poor communities.
This study shows downscaled climate projections that, without strong curbing of emissions, the California Current System (CCS) will undergo significant change this century, including 2–4 °C warming of sea surface temperature and an almost ubiquitous shift to novel conditions
This paper based on three implemented Regional Climate Models (RCMs), namely CMCC-CCLM, CNRM-ALADIN52, and GUF-CCLM-NEMO, for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios of the 21st century. Atmospheric modelling datasets cover the Reference (1971–2000) and Future (2071–2100) Periods of climate projections. The results produced within this study can be used for investigations in specific locations of the Mediterranean basin within integrated hydrologic/hydrodynamic modelling under projected climate change conditions during the 21st century.
This Article supports SDGs3 and 13 by asessing the potential impact of net zero greenhouse gas emissions on public health in England and Wales. The authors showed that there are likely to be substantial net benefits for health, with greater benefits associated with faster and more ambitious changes.
This One Earth Perspective Article explores how coastal communities are increasingly exposed to risks due to trade offs from international conservation efforts and rapid economic and climate change, and argues that policymakers seeking to promote ocean biodiversity (SDG 14) must first prioritize social justice and general resilience to equitably enable sustainable communities (SDG 11).
This paper focuses on the impact of epidemic situation on carbon emissions in different provinces of China and provide different emission reduction directions and measures for carbon emission research in different provinces.
