Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a widespread environmental threat which must be addressed as it affects the water bodies, soil as well as air.

Agriculture faces the increasing demands of a growing global population amid simultaneous challenges to soils from climate change and human-induced contamination.

The Mata Atlântica has lost over 85% of its cover, threatening climate and livelihoods. Our study reveals that reforestation with long-lived wood products can triple profits while enhancing carbon sinks, urging policymakers, landowners, and industries to collaborate for sustainable restoration.

Genetic underpinnings of marine environment adaption of a threatened sea turtle species

The contribution of non-PAs to climate-driven species migration is important for long-term biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptationan. This article reveals that non-PAs provide transient refugia for species within PAs during climate-driven migrations in China and acts as steppingstones to facilitate species range shifts.

Coupling of social, economic, and environmental systems are important for achieving the sustainable development. This article examined the impact of China’s Targeted Poverty Alleviation (TPA) strategy on the sustainable development in the poor areas of China (PAC) and found that both the economic and social systems have developed rapidly in the PAC during the TPA period and the implementation of TPA facilitates the couplings among the three subsystems in the PAC and improves their coordination degree, turning from imbalanced to coordinated development.
