Badland morphologies are prominent examples of linear erosion occurring on clay-rich slopes and are critical hotspots for sediment production. Traditional field-based mapping of these features can be both time-consuming and costly, particularly over...

Net primary productivity (NPP) is a critical indicator for evaluating the carbon sequestration potential of an ecosystem and regional sustainable development, as its spatiotemporal dynamics are jointly influenced by natural and anthropogenic factors....

The unity of material and spiritual civilization is among the important criteria for sustainable development and modernization construction. However, defining the relationship between the two has posed a challenge to researchers. In terms of spiritua...

Soil salinization significantly impacts global agricultural productivity, contributing to desertification and land degradation; thus, rapid regional monitoring of soil salinization is crucial for agricultural production and sustainable management. Wi...

Cropland abandonment (CA) is an increasingly severe global issue, with significant implications for achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger. In China, widespread CA is particularly evident in remote mountainous regions. However, the...

Sustainable landscape management requires accurately identifying the trade-offs and synergies among ecosystem services (ES). Three commonly utilized approaches to quantify ES trade-off/synergy relationships include the space-for-time approach, landsc...

The scientific evaluation of landscape performance has become a critical focus in promoting landscape architecture and urban quality research. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is widely applied in digital assessments and performance studies, offeri...

Blue and green spaces are well-known for their benefits in improving urban thermal environments. However, the optimal configuration of green, blue, and grey spaces (GBGSs) for the physical and mental health of urban residents remains unclear. Therefo...

The mapping of land use/cover (LULC) types is a crucial tool for natural resource management and monitoring changes in both human and physical environments. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide high-resolution data, enhancing the capability for ac...

Assessing the value of ecosystem products over time can reflect the effectiveness of ecosystem protection and serve as a measurable indicator in national park management. This study focuses on the Three-River-Source National Park (TRSNP), located in...
