Trade-offs between eco-environment protection and socioeconomic development hinder the success of sustainable goals (SDGs). Solutions based on ecosystem services (ESs) provide co-benefits pathways for fulfilling SDGs. However, assessing progress towards SDGs contribution ESs to is lacking. Here we assessed s patial-temporal changes service values (ESV) SDG scores in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region (BTH) over past 20 years using “ES-SDG linkages.” The total ESV ES-SDG Index score BTH showed a spatial pattern high northern plateau low southern plain. increased from 25,335 yuan ha −1 2000 27,344 2020, mainly attributed water provision regulation. decrease cropland, grassland, wetland 2010 caused value nine ESs, whereas increase forestland, waterbodies 2020 contributed an seven ESs. decreased slightly 36.8 35.5 2010, then 36.0 due control rapid urbanization strengthen ecological restoration.

Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in cropland soils improves health and water quality, crop productivity, resilience to climate-driven changes by influencing key processes. However, research on SOC sequestration based bibliometric analyses of highly cited documents is lacking. This study investigated the current status development characteristics, impact, intellectual base, hotspots using Web Science Core Collection databases from 2012 2022. The analysis visualization tools such as Biblioshiny, VOSviewer, CiteSpace, Power BI, Flourish Studio, provided a comprehensive approach for evaluation, identifying trends, knowledge mapping research. findings indicate that United States China dominate global research, with Chinese Academy Sciences leading institution. Key journals include Soil Biology Biochemistry Geoderma. e. trend topic graph indicated “soil carbon” matter” are most persistent themes since 2015. In contrast, recent focuses “climate change mitigation,” health” aggregation”. Moreover, burst citation keywords revealed significant insights into potential role microbes transforming stabilizing matter. present emphasized adopting management practices aimed at enhancing inputs increases C croplands, thus improving help advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Progressing soil degradation worldwide is a complex socio-environmental threat. Implementing environmental policies and actions such as the Sustainable Development Goals, European Green Deal, Renewable Energy Directive III regarding protection aims to protect, conserve, enhance EU’s natural capital, focusing on protection. As assumed in economy has be turned into resource-efficient green with zero net emission of greenhouse gases. Since quality strongly influences all ecosystem elements, remediation increasingly promoted sustainable option and, at same time, help achieve overarching goals set out climate law. Biomass phytoremediation particularly important regenerative agriculture, it emphasizes improving quality, increasing biodiversity, sequestering carbon. Selected plants microbes can clean degraded agricultural areas, removing heavy metals pesticides, thus lowering toxicity food feed security. Moreover, post-phytoremediation biomass processed biofuels or bioproducts, supporting circular economy. This article summarizes role microbial struggle EU goals, enabling regeneration ecosystems while development agriculture.

With global armed conflicts reaching a 30-year high in 2023, understanding their impact on the progress of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is crucial. Here, we used propensity score matching method to assess specific impacts conflict achieving 17 SDGs affected countries from 2000 2021. The results indicate that, compared hypothetical scenarios without conflict, more than half has slowed by over 5% experiencing conflict. This slowdown most acute SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) 4 (Quality Education), where impediments exceed 10%. Without such conflicts, these could have seen advancements one-third SDGs, moving low moderate levels, or levels achievement. information provides insights for conflict-affected identify key navigate out developmental challenges.
