Remote sensing observations have shown an increasing trend in the vegetation leaf area index (LAI) over the past three decades, with climate change and human activities identified as the primary drivers of vegetation change. However, a challenge rema...

Slope stability is crucial in civil engineering, especially in urban areas like Singapore, where heavy rainfall may result in catastrophic slope failures. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of three rectification methods, i.e., vegetation...

Urbanization is a key driver of economic and social development. But balancing economic growth with ecological protection remains a global challenge. This paper examines urbanization in Jiangsu Province, China, analyzing data from its 13 prefecture-l...

The preservation and management of riparian zones in nature protection areas are challenging due to the simultaneous demands of nature protection regulations, active nature tourism burdens, and local community needs. The local community’s willi...

The thermal environment of urban riverside open spaces is crucial for enhancing outdoor comfort and well-being, especially amid extreme heat events caused by global warming and Urban Heat Islands (UHIs). Although significant progress has been made in...

Soil erosion is a major environmental concern, especially in sensitive ecosystems like the Loess Plateau of China, where certain geological and climatic circumstances exacerbate the erosion process. Terracing and mulching are popular soil erosion man...

Territorial Space (TS) is characterized by its multifunctionality. The identification and management of Territorial Spatial Functions (TSFs) across multi-scale is crucial for achieving the SDGs. However, previous studies have primarily concentrated o...

The quality of urban human settlements (UHSs) directly affects the city’s livability and the well-being of its residents. Scientific monitoring and assessment of UHSs, their progress toward sustainable development, and impacts they experience f...

Residential segregation refers to the spatial separation between two or more social groups in urban areas. Originating from scholars of the Chicago School, this topic has since consolidated over time within the fields of urban and sociological studie...

Understanding the spatial variability in soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) and their influencing variables is critical for ecohydrological and biogeochemical studies in coastal wetlands, where complex landscapes make it challenging to accurately delin...
