Abstract Tree-crop diversification is increasingly adopted in tropical agricultural landscapes as a resilience strategy amidst fluctuating commodity markets, environmental change, and policy shifts. However, its spatial implications at the landscape level remain underexplored. This study examines structure dynamics of mosaic eastern Côte d’Ivoire, region characterized by heterogeneous landscapes, response to tree-crop trends their for sustainable management. Using multi-temporal Landsat imagery (1986, 2016, 2023), remote sensing classification with Random Forest algorithm, metrics, we evaluated changes land-use/land-cover (LULC), composition (diversity, regularity), configurational heterogeneity (complexity fragmentation). Results reveal substantial increase rubber plantations (net gain 50.35%), concurrent declines cropland (−147%), cocoa (−45.28%), sparse vegetation (−61.48%). Although diversity increased slightly (Shannon index: 0.99 1.07), fragmentation intensified, mean patch size decreasing 12.3%. While introduced new compositional complexity, it often manifested monoculture expansion rather than ecologically restorative land-use. The resulting structural transformations, high edge densities smaller, isolated patches, suggest diminished functional connectivity natural habitats increasing ecological vulnerability. These raise critical questions about long-term sustainability current land-use trajectories. We argue that diversification, while enhancing economic stability, can erode without integrated landscape-level planning intervention. recommend landscape-scale strategies promote agroecological corridor conservation, inclusive governance mitigate maintain multifunctionality these rapidly transforming landscapes.

Abstract This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the intersection between digital sustainability (DS) and eco‐environmental (EES), focusing on opportunities challenges presented by emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, electric vehicles (EVs), cryptocurrencies. The study critically examines concerns arising from increasing demand for infrastructure depletion essential natural resources, including tantalum, indium, cobalt, lithium. Through an interdisciplinary approach, evaluates ethical, technological, policy implications integrating DS within EES framework. It emphasizes significance innovative governance cross‐sector collaboration to address environmental trade‐offs rebound effects linked with these technologies. Additionally, proposes strategies mitigating ecological impacts transformation identifies crucial research gaps, particularly in resource management long‐term sustainability. findings aim guide alignment EES, fostering more balanced resilient path towards sustainable development. offers actionable insights recommendations industry practitioners, policymakers, researchers committed advancing transformation.

With the rising demand for copper driven by technological advancements and depletion of high-grade resources, there is increasing interest in recycling secondary sources to extract reduce mining tailings. This study examined legacy mine tailings from Benguet, Philippines, assess their reprocessing potential, using historical data geochemical analysis. The have a loamy sand texture, with measured porosity 39.2% permeability coefficient 1.0952 x 10-² cm s-1, indicating low medium permeability. Water infiltration rates vary 0.37 4.71 min-1, suggesting heterogeneous particle size distribution. primary components are quartz, biotite, plagioclase feldspars, minor amounts calcite, magnetite, chalcopyrite, pyrite. Copper (0.19%) sulfur (0.11%) ratios indicate present both chalcopyrite smectite minerals. Notably, highest concentration found particles smaller than 63µm, 0.29 wt.% Cu 0.24 g t-1 Au, or 0.434 equivalent, exceeding company's cut-off grade 0.274% CuEq. highlights promising opportunity recycle gold, helping meet these metals modern advancements.
