文摘A comprehensive understanding of urbanization impacts on landscape dynamics,eco-environmental consequences,and advancements in human habitation is paramount for effectively advancing urbanization-related sustainable development goals.This study predicted the urbanization process within the Hohhot-Baotou-Ordos-Ulanqab(HBOU)region and its projected implications for ecology,human settlement,and energy consumption in 2020–2050 using multi-source data and models under Shared Socioeconomic Pathways(SSPs).The results revealed that the HBOU region's urban area grew by 624.66 km~2 between 1990 and 2020.By 2050,it is expected to reach 1793.49±169.30 km~2,mainly expanding into cropland(58.95%)and natural ecological land(31.79%).Urban greening is projected to enhance,with the highest urban green space(UGS)predicted under SSP1(32.42%).Under this scenario,the per capita urban area(PCUA)and per capita urban green space area(PCUGA)are projected to reach 172.66 and 55.63 m~2/person in 2050,respectively.Furthermore,the ecological and energy utilization impacts are anticipated to decrease by 3.99%to 37.52%relative to alternative scenarios.Our projections suggest that limiting urbanization area in the HBOU region to 1500–1600 km~2 would significantly enhance the settlement environment and mitigate ecological and energy consumption effects.These results guide urban strategies balancing ecology,energy use,and habitation in arid regions.

文摘This study examines the spatial and temporal patterns of wetland degradation in Delhi from 1991 to 2021 using remote sensing and GIS techniques.The Automated Water Extraction Index(AWEI)was applied to pre-monsoon Landsat imagery to delineate surface water bodies over the past 30 years accurately.Supervised classification was employed to generate land use maps,while census data was utilized to analyze urbanization trends across the region.Classification accuracy was assessed using Google Earth reference data through a confusion matrix,ensuring the reliability of the land cover analysis.Results reveal a significant decline in wetland extent,especially in densely populated and rapidly urbanizing districts such as North West,South,and East Delhi.During this time,the urban population increased from 52.7% to 97.4%,accompanied by a 70.2% expansion of built-up areas,while wetlands contracted from 32.9 km^(2) to 30.2 km^(2).South Delhi experienced the most severe wetland loss,with water body coverage dropping from 0.800% to 0.025%,whereas North East and Central Delhi maintained higher wetland coverage due to the influence of the Yamuna River and targeted conservation efforts.The study highlights the strong linkage between urban growth and wetland decline,which threatens biodiversity,groundwater recharge,and ecological stability.These findings emphasize the urgent need for integrated urban planning and conservation policies to safeguard wetlands,thereby promoting sustainability and water security in the National Capital Region.

文摘Understanding the complex interactions between urbanization and ecosystem services(ESs)is crucial for optimiz ing planning policies and achieving sustainable urban management.While previous research has largely focused on highly urbanized areas,little attention has been given to the phased effect of progressive urbanization on ES networks.This study proposes a conceptual framework that utilizes the network method and space-time replace ment to examine the effect of urbanization on the complex relationships among ESs at different stages,with a particular emphasis on the progressive evolution of the process.We apply this framework to the Horqin area,a typical eco-fragile area in China.Results demonstrate that the connectivity of the ES synergy network exhibits a non-stationary characteristic,initially increasing,then decreasing,and subsequently strengthening.Meanwhile,its modularity shows a rising trend during periods of accelerated urbanization.The performance of the trade off network displays the opposite pattern.Additionally,we observe a gradual replacement of provisioning and regulation services by cultural services in terms of dominance in the synergy network as urbanization advances.By providing guidance for identifying key planning initiatives and implementing ecological protection policies at different stages of development,this study contributes a pathway that can inform development strategies in other regions undergoing progressive urbanization.

文摘South Florida’s natural forest ecosystems,including pine rocklands and hardwood hammocks,are threatened by land use change and urbanization,invasive species,and climate change.It is critical to understand the responses of these ecosystems to anthropogenic disturbances to conserve the remnants of the USA natural subtropical forests.Using dendrochronology,long-term growth patterns were characterized in three dominant native tree species:Bursera simaruba,Swietenia mahagoni,and Pinus elliottii.Core samples were collected from>30 individuals of each species in hardwood hammocks(B.simaruba and S.mahagoni)and pine rocklands(P.elliottii)to examine growth patterns.Relationships between annual tree growth rates and climatic variables were assessed to address three questions:(1)What are the climatic drivers of growth in these three South Florida tree species?(2)Are their growth rates stable or changing through time?and(3)Are tree growth rates affected by urbanization?Standardized growth rates of the three species have changed through time,with small young trees showing accelerated growth through time,whereas larger,older trees showed declining growth rates.S.mahagoni and B.simaruba grew faster in urbanized parks than in more natural parks,whereas P.elliottii grew slower in urban parks.There were positive correlations between tree growth and the current year’s fall precipitation and no discernable effects of the current year’s monthly temperatures on growth rates of any of the species.These results suggest that the foundational tree species of the southern USA endangered pine rocklands and hardwood hammocks may be vulnerable to ongoing changes in precipitation and temperature as well as other environmental effects associated with urbanization.

文摘Wetlands are unique ecological environments capable of harboring high biodiversity.However,urbanization can degrade,eliminate,or transformthese habitats.Although amphibians utilize habitats created by humans in urban landscapes,few studies have investigated the infuence of thehabitat quality on the life history of anurans.We assessed life history traits such as snout-vent length(SVL),body condition,and reproductiveinvestment in the South American common toad Rhinella arenarum,to determine whether urbanization is harmful or benefcial to this species.We sampled wetlands with different levels of urbanization in Río Cuarto city,Córdoba,Argentina.We recorded males with lower SVL in mediumurbanized wetlands and those with the highest SVL in both low and high urbanization categories,similar to what was found for body conditionswith males with low body conditions inhabiting wetlands with a medium degree of urbanization.In females,lower SVL was recorded in mediumurbanization and highest SVL in high and low urbanization.It is observed that females recorded in highly urbanized wetlands have a very lowbody condition.The reproductive investment parameters were not signifcantly different,but we observed an association between a greaternumber of eggs and clutch size with wetlands of low urbanization.These results show a variability of responses of R.arenarum to urbanization,which could be due to phenotypic plasticity in its life history parameters,allowing it to inhabit urban areas.Continuous monitoring of the speciesin these wetlands is needed to determine if these biological responses are temporary or persistent.
文摘Urban lakes,situated in cities characterized by dense population and economic activities,are susceptible to eutrophication.This study focuses on the water ecological restoration project of Xuanwu Lake,assessing the efficacy of ecological management through laboratory analysis of water quality indicators.Furthermore,it delves into a comprehensive life cycle cost structure analysis,ecosystem service value accounting,and economic benefit evaluation.From an economic standpoint,the research examines the cost-effectiveness and external impacts of the clear-water ecosystem restoration project.Findings indicate that TP and TN levels in the treated area have decreased by over 50%,substantially reducing the eutrophication index.The cost-benefit ratio for each unit of treatment stands at 1:3.2(direct benefit).Notably,the restoration has markedly improved water quality and augmented the value of ecosystem services,demonstrating long-term cost sustainability and positive economic externalities.To ensure the sustained success of such restorations,it is imperative to optimize public resource allocation,incorporate market-based incentives,and furnish economic insights for managing urban lakes.

文摘Rapid urbanization has caused significant changes along the urban-rural gradient,leading to a variety of landscapes that are mainly shaped by human activities.This dynamic interplay also influences the distribution and characteristics of trees outside forests(TOF).Understanding the pattern of these trees will support informed decision-making in urban planning,in conservation strategies,and altogether in sustainable land management practices in the urban context.In this study,we employed a deep learning-based object detection model and high resolution satellite imagery to identify 1.3 million trees with bounding boxes within a 250 km^(2)research transect spanning the urban-rural gradient of Bengaluru,a megacity in Southern India.Additionally,we developed an allometric equation to estimate diameter at breast height(DBH)from the tree crown diameter(CD)derived from the detected bounding boxes.Our study focused on analyzing variations in tree density and tree size along this gradient.The findings revealed distinct patterns:the urban domain displayed larger tree crown diameters(mean:8.87 m)and DBH(mean:43.78 cm)but having relatively low tree density(32 trees per hectare).Furthermore,with increasing distance from the city center,tree density increased,while the mean tree crown diameter and mean tree basal area decreased,showing clear differences of tree density and size between the urban and rural domains in Bengaluru.This study offers an efficient methodology that helps generating instructive insights into the dynamics of TOF along the urban-rural gradient.This may inform urban planning and management strategies for enhancing green infrastructure and biodiversity conservation in rapidly urbanizing cities like Bengaluru.

文摘New-type urbanization(NTU)is proposed by China to solve unsustainable issues and improve green development efficiency(GDE)during the process of rapid urbanization.However,the impact mechanism of NTU on GDE is unclear.Using panel data of 282 prefecture-level cities in China from 2010 to 2019,we measured NTU and GDE to describe their spatiotemporal pattern and relationship evolution.The fixed effects panel model and mediating effect panel model were further utilized to analyze the benchmark impact,mediating mechanism and spatiotem-poral heterogeneity of NTU on GDE.The results showed that NTU improved,with the highest levels observed in the eastern region,while GDE increased with fluctuations,performing better in both the eastern and western regions.With the proportion of double-high cities increasing from 13.83%to 43.62%,the NTU-GDE relationship was upgraded.Overall,every 1%improvement in NTU increased GDE by 0.3111%,and the enterprise effect,resident effect and government effect played a positive mediating role from high to low.During the later stage of NTU,its impact on GDE strengthened significantly,and the mediating role of governments was optimized.The eastern region was the only region with three positive mediating roles of governments,enterprises and residents.These findings will promote GDE through NTU in China and serve as a valuable reference for sustainable global urbanization.
文摘Land use change ranks as the second most significant human-made factor affecting climate,following greenhouse gas emissions.Patna is rapidly expanding cities in Bihar state.Urbanization caused substantial alterations in land use patterns in Patna,driven by its rapid urban growth and increasing population.Urbanization and population growth caused a rapid increase in built structures to cater the demand,which caused reduction in vegetation,water body,and wasteland cover,due to which land cover changed.Land cover change detection plays a vital role in identifying its impact on diurnal temperature range(DTR).To study the impact,land use/land cover change map for the city is produced from Landsat images for the study area Patna during 1995 to 2023.The supervised classification method is used to identify substantial changes in vegetation cover during 1995 and 2023 as a result of changes in land use and land cover.Landsat image supervised classification shows a growth of 47.80 percent in built-up areas in the last 28 years in the city of Patna.The classified image also shows a consistent decline of 31.74 percent in vegetation cover over the period of 28 years.Urbanization-driven changes in land use and land cover have led to a significant decrease of 20.24 percent in the near-surface DTR,average decrease of 12.54 percent in maximum temperature and an increase of 75.68 percent in minimum temperature of the city.The study offers scientific insights into how urbanization and human activities are impacting the eco-environment of the city.

文摘Urbanization radically alters the climatic environment and landscape patterns of urban areas,but its impact on the carbon sequestration capacity of vegetation remains uncertain.Given the limitations of current small-scale ground-based in situ experiments,the response of vegetation carbon sequestration capacity to urbanization and the factors influencing it remain unclear at the global scale.Using multisource remote sensing data,we quanti-fied and differentiated the direct and indirect impacts of urbanization on the carbon sequestration capacity of vegetation in 508 large urban areas globally from 2000 to 2020.The results revealed that the direct impacts of urbanization were generally negative.However,446 cities experienced an indirect enhancement in vegetation carbon sequestration capacity during urbanization,averaging 19.6%globally and offsetting 14.7%of the di-rect loss due to urbanization.These positive indirect effects were most pronounced in environments with limited hydrothermal conditions and increased most in densely populated temperate and cold regions.Furthermore,indi-rect impacts were closely related to urbanization intensity,human footprint,and level of urban development.Our study enhances the understanding of how the carbon sequestration capacity of vegetation dynamically responds to changes in the urban environment,which is crucial for improving future urban vegetation management and building sustainable cities.

文摘Urbanization is one of the most extreme forms of land-use alteration that is advancing across the world with unprecedented speed.As the largest developing country,China has developed a unique path through its high speed and large scale of urbanization,offering valuable research opportunities for avian ecology.However,a comprehensive review on how birds respond to urbanization in China is still lacking.Here,we systematically reviewed 274 studies published from 1962 to 2024 to determine the research trends,current insights,and future directions of avian response to urbanization in China.We synthesized research trends across four core avian response dimensions to urbanization—diversity,behavior,physiology,and life-history—and their applications in conservation strategy design.The number of publications in avian response to urbanization in China increased annually,and it is influenced by China's developing policies of urbanization.The results also showed an unbalanced geographical pattern of the publications,as the research preferences are relatively prevalent in the developed areas of eastern China.In contrast,there are insufficient studies in the emerging urbanizing areas in the western and northeastern China.Regarding the research contents,most existing studies are focusing on the patterns of bird diversity,while there are few studies on the underlying mechanisms,such as physiological adjustments and life-history strategies.In addition,passerines are the most frequent ones among the studied species.Integrating multidimensional urbanization indices and citizen science data are gradually becoming a new trend in recent years.Our study emphasizes that future studies should pay more attention to the response mechanism of birds in urbanizing processes,multidimensional and interdisciplinary studies,and the transformation of the research results into conservation practices.
