Indicators for strategic environmental assessment in regional land use planning to assess conflicts with adaptation to global climate change
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the use of indicators in a site-specific assessment method for strategic environmental assessment in regional land use planning (here: SEA-REP), which is explained with the example of the state of environment indicator "LUCCA 4"—Urban Areas at Risk of Flooding" and how SEA as a decision-aiding instrument can contribute to the prevention of conflicts with policy for adaptation to climate change.

Red Mediterranean Soils in Jordan: New insights in their origin, genesis, and role as environmental archives
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the geochemistry of several limestone and basalt based Red Mediterranean Soils with Lithosols on sandstone and limestone in Jordan and concluded that the latter are more likely to be derived from the bedrock than the former.

The abandonment of the Decapolis region in Northern Jordan—forced by environmental change?
TL;DR: The analysis of the land use pattern and the study of soils at the Decapolis city of Abila indicate that a climate change had great influence in the abandonment of the site as discussed by the authors.

Using a qualitative model to explore the impacts of ecosystem and anthropogenic drivers upon declining marine survival in Pacific salmon
TL;DR: The model showed that anthropogenic impacts resulted in the strongest negative responses in salmon survival and abundance, suggesting that several food web variables may be important in mediating effects on salmon survival within the system.

The Decapolis region (Northern Jordan) as historical example of desertification? Evidence from soil development and distribution
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that erosion is a most unlikely cause for the abandonment of historic sites in the Decapolis region in Northern Jordan, leading to re-distribution, not simply erosion and degradation of soils.
