With global warming, the issue of urban surface overheating has emerged as one of the most urgent concerns for modern cities worldwide. However, the simulation of thermal comfort with high spatiotemporal resolution remains a challenge. In this study, an approach is presented to integrate several global meteorological raster data for the production...

Social-ecological systems (SESs), which integrate social governance and natural environment utilization, are expected to provide an innovative solution for global ecological problems and have gradually become hotspots in human-earth system research. Bibliometrics was conducted to inductive the trends and hotspots in the research of SESs, meanwhile,...

Unravelling the evolution of landscape patterns is essential to understand regional socio-ecological processes and to solve conflicts between environment protection and human development. However, the role of landscape transition in regional landscape pattern evolution remains unclear. Taking 325 county-level areas in the middle reaches of the Yang...

Assessing regional carbon emissions and their relationship with socio-economic conditions is very important for developing strategies for carbon emission reduction. This study explored the impact of the proportion of non-fossil energy, the land development degree, the urbanization rate of permanent residents, the proportion of secondary industry, p...

Carbon sink in terrestrial ecosystems is critical for achieving carbon neutrality; however, its environmental sensitivity and potential remain uncertain. A comprehensive framework was established to assess the carbon balance attribution and carbon storage potential. The net ecosystem productivity was integrated with the maximum entropy model and th...

Modeling potential changes in flooding from urbanization enhances urban risk perception and supports decision-makers in preventative actions of high-risk areas. This study proposes a coupled multi-model framework for projecting the distribution and severity of urban floods and tests for Shenzhen City in China under multi-scenarios. The results show...

Rapid industrialization and urbanization accelerate land use and land cover change, resulting in problems of stability and health with ecosystem services losses. It remains unclear and needs to be detailed discussed what spatial–temporal characteristics of the production-living-ecological spaces (PLES) would be in a rapidly developing bay area unde...

[Objective] This study was designed to analyze afforestation potential of the areas where implements the Three-North Shelter-belt Forest Program (TNSP). Potential areas available for afforestation and their spatial distribution will be obtained, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for building green “Belt and Road”, ecological protection in the T...

Since the implementation of the Chinese economic reforms. The habitat quality of coastal has gradually deteriorated with economic development, but the concept of "ecological construction" has slowed the negative trend. For quantitative analysis of the correlation between the Pearl River Delta urban expansion and changes in habitat quality under the...

In the background of global warming, the carbon stock of afforestation is increasingly important. However, afforestation may consume large amounts of water, putting pressure on regional water resources. How to balance the carbon stock and water consumption of afforestation is a vital problem throughout the world. The Three-North Shelterbelt may be...

The Pan-Pearl River Basin is a bridgehead for China's reform and opening-up and the construction of the Belt and Road at Sea, with vital strategic significance in Chinese overall development. Land use data and climate and socio-economic indicators were integrated to probe the spatiotemporal change and its driving forces of land use in the Pan-Pearl...
