  • Enhancing the SDG 15.3.1 land-cover transition matrix using multidecadal vegetation indicators

    Open AccessCalogero Schillaci, Felipe Yunta et al.ARTICLEJournal of Land Use Science2026

    Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15.3.1, ‘Proportion of degraded land,’ assesses land degradation using three core sub-indicators: land productivity, land cover (LC), and soil organic carbon. The LC sub-indicator evaluates global trends through a transition matrix defined in the UNCCD Good Practice Guidance (GPG), classifying land cover changes as degradation, improvement, or stability. However, this approach does not capture intra-class transi…

  • The Landsupport Geospatial Decision Support System ( S‐dss ) Vision

    Open AccessFabio Terribile, Marco Acutis et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2024

    Nowadays, there is contrasting evidence between the ongoing continuing and widespread environmental degradation and the many means to implement environmental sustainability actions starting from good policies (e.g. EU New Green Deal, CAP), powerful technologies (e.g. new satellites, drones, IoT sensors), large databases and large stakeholder engagement (e.g. EIP‐AGRI, living labs). Here, we argue that to tackle the above contrasting issues dealin…

  • A framework for co‐designing decision‐support systems for policy implementation

    Open AccessPetra Stankovics, Calogero Schillaci et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2024

    This work proposes a framework for co‐designing decision‐support tools for sustainable land management and soil protection at multiple scales. Geospatial dashboards, due to their key capabilities in the use of spatial or geospatial information, are quickly gaining traction for planning and policymaking. Developing the decision‐support system (DSS) as a transversal system capable of capturing trends in land and soil properties at the local, region…

  • Evaluation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 15.3.1 indicator of land degradation in the European Union

    Open AccessCalogero Schillaci, Arwyn Jones et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2023

    Land degradation is the persistent reduction in the capacity of the land to support human and other life on Earth (IPBES, 2018). This process jeopardizes the provision of ecosystem services. The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15, ‘Life on Land’, includes efforts to sustainably manage and recover natural ecosystems and restore degraded land and soil. Under the umbrella of SDG 15, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) …

  • Geomorphological processes, forms and features in the surroundings of the Melka Kunture Palaeolithic site, Ethiopia

    Open AccessMichael Maerker, Calogero Schillaci et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2019

    The landscape of the surroundings of the Melka Kunture prehistoric site, Upper Awash Basin, Ethiopia, were studied intensively in the last decades. Nonetheless, the area was mainly characterized under a stratigraphic/geological and archaeological point of view. However, a detailed geomorphological map is still lacking. Hence, in this study, we identify, map and visualize geomorphological forms and processes. The morphology of the forms, as well a…
