The NDVI was significantly positively correlated with relative humidityand precipitation, whereas temperature exhibited a bidirectional effect and wind speed had a predominantly negative correlation. Residual trend analysis further supported that human-dominated areas occupied the largest proportion of the study area, with strong human dominance concentrated in the central-southern core zone spatially coinciding with the key implementation areas of the Kekeya Greening Project. Greening projects also reduced near-surface wind speeds, enhancing ecosystem stability. Overall, vegetation coverage in the Kekeya project area has significantly improved over the past 3 decades, reflecting the combined impacts of ecological restoration initiatives and climate variability, while human interventions—particularly large-scale greening projects and water management—play a crucial role in promoting ecosystem recovery. These findings provide valuable insights for ecological management, climate adaptation, and sustainable restoration planning in arid and semiarid regions.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fenvs.2026.1797598 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fenvs.2026.1797598 2026-08-21T00:00:00Z Original Research Georgia M.

The moderating role of Dig is mainly observed in the Central region, whereas that of AI is mainly observed in the Eastern region. This study contributes to the literature by examining whether firm-level Npro is associated with higher ESG ratings through green technological and green management innovation. It also refines the integrated framework of dual-path green innovation and technology-related boundary conditions. The findings provide practical implications for firms seeking to improve ESG-rating performance through technological upgrading and green management practices, and for governments designing region-specific policies to strengthen the rating-based governance and disclosure channels that support high-quality development and the “dual carbon” agenda.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fenvs.2026.1885945 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fenvs.2026.1885945 2026-08-17T00:00:00Z Original Research Telmo Jorge Carneiro AmadoJackson Ernani FiorinWilliam Ramos da SilvaThiago Massao InagakiUlfried ArnsTiago WyzykowskiFelipe José Cury FracettoAdemir de Oliveira Ferreira
