Mangrove ecosystems play a vital role in coastal protection, biodiversity conservation, and climate regulation, yet their spatiotemporal dynamics within highly geomorphologically active deltaic environments remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to map long-term changes in mangrove distribution, quantify mangrove gain and loss patterns, identify dominant land-cover transition pathways, and evaluate the influence of...

The Mirzachol Oasis is one of the most important agroecological regions in Uzbekistan and has been subject to six decades of intensified irrigation, resulting in significant hydrological and soil changes. The impact on microbial communities below the surface is less well studied than its impact on the surface, but both affect soil health. This study addresses this gap by examining microbial communities, soil physicochemical pa...
