Mining in general, and particularly mining for energy resources such as coal lignite, results massive impacts on the surrounding landscape ecosystems. Post-mining reclamation that takes account of disturbed ecosystem services requires a research approach links impact to functions service potentials. The method used this paper combines Driving Forces–Pressures–State–Impact–Response (DPSIR) frame...

Understanding how climate change will affect agro-ecosystems and the ecosystem services they provide is a significant global challenge. Investigating this topic requires holistic approach that can capture complexity of assess impacts on physical, biological, socio-economic aspects system. The Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework problem structuring method commonly used in e...

There is a pressing need to integrate biophysical and human dimensions science to better inform holistic ecosystem management supporting the transition from single species or single-sector management to multi-sector ecosystem-based management. Ecosystem-based management should focus upon ecosystem services, since they reflect societal goals, values, desires, and benefits. The inclusion of ecosy...

The Australian Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) Summit in 2018 attracted much-needed national attention towards environmental goals and targets compared with other aspects of sustainability. Road infrastructure is the backbone modern society plays a crucial role accomplishing targeted balance between these sustainability achieving SDGs. This article presents an integrated performance ass...

Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (IAHS) are complex adaptive systems that multidimensional and exhibit strategic values of sustainability. In the context modernization, IAHS have been increasingly challenged. Thus, heritage sites must explore dynamic conservation approaches formulate management strategies. However, few studies provided either theoretical methods or practical cases as sup...

Implementing long-term monitoring programs that effectively inform conservation plans is a top priority in environmental management. In floodplain forests, historical pressures interplay with the complex multiscale dynamics of fluvial systems and require integrative approaches to pinpoint drivers for their deterioration and ecosystem services loss. Combining a conceptual framework such as the D...

Soil erosion forms a major threat to European soil resources. Although soil is a vital and largely non-renewable resource, it has not been the subject of comprehensive EU action so far. A thematic strategy for soil protection, which recognises soil erosion as one of the major threats, has currently been placed high on Europe’s political Agenda. Assessing and monitoring soil erosion is needed to...

The rapid global increase in Special Economic Zones (SEZs) raises concerns regarding potential impacts on the environment, especially water use intensity, an increased risk of natural disasters, and elevated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, studies examining these are limited. Therefore, aim this paper is to examine influence SEZ development factors flooding, scarcity, GHG emissions usi...

Selecting indicators based on the characteristics and development trends of a given study area is essential for building a framework for assessing urban ecological security. However, few studies have focused on how to select the representative indicators systematically, and quantitative research is lacking. We developed an innovative quantitative modeling approach called the grey dynamic hierar...
