Wetland ecosystems in Africa's semi-arid rift valleys are crucial for supporting biodiversity, regulating water systems, and sustaining livelihoods; however, they are rapidly deteriorating due to agricultural expansion and urbanization. Previous asse...
Coastal wetlands are crucial in shoreline stabilization, carbon sequestration, and storm protection. Yet, due to limitations in traditional destructive sampling techniques, the belowground biomass (live root mass) and necromass (dead and decaying roo...
Coastal wetlands of the Indus River Delta are vital ecological regions that have undergone significant transformations driven by anthropogenic activities and environmental stressors. This study assesses the dynamics of wetlands and reclamation in the...
Land cover and plant species identification using satellite images and deep learning approaches have recently been a widely addressed area of research. However, mangroves, a specific species that have significantly declined in quantity and quality wo...
Pervasive antibiotic pollution in water environments has emerged as a serious threat to global ecosystem functions and public health. While wetland expansion─including protection, restoration, and construction, is widely promoted for sustainable wate...
While global mangrove forests have suffered significant loss, raising widespread concern, little information is available on how mangrove forests have changed along Africa's coast. This study employed multi-temporal remote sensing data and machine le...
Mangrove forests are globally acknowledged for stabilizing coastlines, reducing wave energy, and protecting coastal habitats and adjacent land uses from extreme events. However, most regions experience alarming mangrove loss against natural and human...
Salt marshes, valued for their ecological importance, have been increasingly degraded in recent decades. Preserving salt marshes necessitates a critical approach that involves monitoring vegetation distribution and species composition. This study pre...
Mangrove ecosystems are important in tropical and subtropical coastal zones, contributing to marine biodiversity and maintaining marine ecological balance. It is crucial to develop more efficient, intelligent, and accurate monitoring methods for mang...
Mangroves are among the most significant organic carbon sinks on Earth. However, the drivers of mangrove carbon remain poorly understood due to the lack of data on organic carbon across different types of estuaries. In this study, boosted regression ...
