This study explores how cultural ecosystem services (CES) are shaped in public urban green spaces (PUGS). Using a qualitative ‘walk and talk’ approach with 27 experts across five Warsaw PUGS, authors examined the co-production

The study address the need for an integrated approach to managing complex natural systems by linking geodiversity and biodiversity. These elements interact across scales, influencing climate and human land use while underpinning ecosystem services.

The study conducts a systems analysis of coping and adaptation strategies in Tanzanian refugee camps, focusing on the Mtendeli camp as a case study. It explores the environmental changes during the stages of the

Artificial light at night (ALAN) has global impacts on animals, often negative, yet its effects in polar regions remains largely underexplored. These regions experience prolonged darkness during the polar night, while human activity and

Recent studies have identified several statistically significant trends in cloud genera frequency over Poland. Notably, there has been an increase in high and convective clouds, along with a decrease in Stratus, Altostratus and Nimbostratus.

Wildfire detection and mapping is crucial for managing natural resources and preventingfurther environmental damage. In this study, we compared two methods of mapping burn scarsusing Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, a pixel-based approach and an object-based

Although cloud profiling lidars provide the most accurate data on cloud amount (CA), cloud top height (CTH) and cloud optical thickness (COT), they only sample cloud fields along a one-dimensional transect. This approach introduces

The SOC change index, defined as the normalized difference between the actual Soil Organic Carbon and the value assumed at an initial reference year, is here tailored to the RothC carbon model dynamics. It

Space profiling lidars offer a unique insight into cloud properties in Earth’s atmosphere and are considered the most reliable source of total (column-integrated) cloud amount (CA), and true (geometrical) cloud top height (CTH). However,

The longest cirrus time series are ground-based, visual observations captured by human observers [synoptic observations (SYNOP)]. However, their reliability is impacted by an unfavorable viewing geometry (cloud overlap) and misclassification due to low cloud
