Land use change is a key factor affecting habitat quality. To reveal the impacts of urban land changes on quality, this paper uses city Zhongwei, China, as case study. Based data from 1980, 2000 and 2020, PLUS-InVEST coupled model was used to predict assess quality Zhongwei. The results revealed that 1980 areas construction woodland increased by 312.78 127.36 km2, respectively, whereas watershed, grassland, unused decreased 89.86, 666.36, 21.49 respectively. with high low values 25.42%...

Defoliation by spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana Clem.) on balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.) is more severe in than mixed fir-hardwood stands. Previous studies assumed that defoliation stands was reduced proportion to percent hardwood regardless of outbreak severity. We tested the influence stand composition during first 5 years a near Amqui, Quebec, sampling 27 plots selected represent three basal area classes (0%–25%, 40%–65%, and 75%–95%). Balsam significantly lower (p <...

Understanding the spatiotemporal characteristics of regional drought is great significance in decision-making processes such as water resources and agricultural systems management. The North China Plain an important grain production base most drought-prone region country. In this study, monthly standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) was used to monitor variation from 1960 2017. Seven spatial patterns variability were identified Plain, Huang-Huai Lower Yangtze River Haihe...

Desertification, a current serious global environmental problem, has caused ecosystems and the environment to degrade. The total area of desertified land is about 1.72 million km2 in China, which extensively affected by desertification. Estimating desertification risks top priority for sustainable development arid semi-arid lands China. In this study, Mediterranean Desertification Land Use (MEDALUS) model was used assess sensitivity Based on multi-source remote sensing data, study integrated...

The Qinghai Province, situated in the northwest of China, is experiencing a continuous warming which approximately three times more than rate global warming. This ongoing has direct connection to vegetation cover, with significant societal and economic impacts this region. In present study, we investigate correlation between climate change cover Province. Analysis shows that order NDVI highest summer followed by autumn, spring winter. By calculating average annual seasonal-NDVI values, it...

Regional climate variability assessment is of great significance in decision-making such as agriculture and water resources system management. The identification sub-regions with similar drought can provide a basis for agricultural disaster reduction planning resource distribution. In this research, modified daily Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) was used to monitor the spatial temporal variation characteristics North China Plain from 1960 2017, which studied by...

As China’s main grain producing region, the Yangtze River basin is vulnerable to changes in wet and dry conditions. In this study, monthly scale of standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) was calculated, based on Penman–Monteith equation from 239 meteorological stations basin, 1960 2017. Water regime characteristic areas were extracted divided using rotating empirical orthogonal function (REOF). The linear trend drought wetness indicators, abrupt rotated principal...
