To enable detailed study of a wide variety of future health challenges, we have created future land use maps for the Netherlands for 2050, based on the Dutch One Health Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs). This was done using the DynaCLUE modelling framework. Future land use is based on altitude, soil properties, groundwater, salinity, flood risk, agricultural land price, distance to transport hubs and climate. We also account for anticipated demand for different land use types, historic land use changes and potential spatial restrictions. These land use maps can be used to model many different health risks to people, animals and the environment, such as disease, water quality and pollution. In addition, the Netherlands can serve as an example for other rapidly urbanising deltas where many of the health risks will be similar.

Soil biodiversity underpins multiple ecosystem functions and services essential for human well-being. Understanding the determinants of biodiversity-ecosystem function relationships (BEFr) is critical for the conservation and management of soil ecosystems. Community assembly processes determine community diversity and structure.

As one of the grave environmental hazards, soil salinization seriously limits crop productivity, growth, and development. When plants are exposed to salt stress, they suffer a sequence of damage mainly caused by osmotic stress, ion toxicity, and subsequently oxidative stress. As sessile organisms, plants have developed many physiological and biochemical strategies to mitigate the impact of salt stress.

Assessing soil quality is imperative to diagnose soil functioning and recognize inappropriate soil managements. However, the absence of defined indicators and their scoring methods and lack of universally accepted soil quality indexing frameworks complicate soil quality assessment, given soil systems complexity and diversity caused by variation in soil formation factors. This study was aimed to assess soil quality of three land use managements (CL, cropland; GR, grassland; SL, shrubland) in Northern Ethiopia, using two data sets (Total data set (TDS) and minimum data set (MDS)), linear and non-linear indicator transformation techniques and three indexing scenarios (Additive (SQI), nemoro (SQI) and weighted additive (SQI)).

Global population growth and uncontrolled are creating threats to agricultural land. To address urbanization, proactive planning is required. Land use and land cover (LULC) classification maps for 2002-2022 were analyzed using remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) in Sahiwal, Punjab, Pakistan.

Species distribution modeling is extensively used for predicting potential distributions of invasive species. However, an ensemble modeling approach has been less frequently used particularly pest species. The bird cherry-oat aphid Rhopalosiphum padi L.
