Assessing the impacts of land use and cover change (LUCC) on regional climate is essential for understanding land–atmosphere interactions designing adaptation mitigation strategies. Using weather research forecasting (WRF) model, we examined how different patterns affect in agro-pastoral transitional zone North China, whose environmental socioeconomic conditions are sensitive to change. We parameterized WRF using maps corresponding 2001 2010 conditions, which differ representation four...

Understanding the relationships between ecosystem services (ESs) is important for management and sustainable development. However, most studies used synergies trade-offs to infer ESs relationships, while bundles was infrequently involved. Research on spatiotemporal dynamics potential drivers of changes still lacking. In this study, we quantified mapped 10 in 1986, 1992, 1998, 2004, 2010, 2015 Yellow River Delta (YRD) region. The hotspots analysis first discern areas high low supplies,...

Under global warming, projected changes in precipitation have shown an asymmetrical shift from light to heavy over China. However, the role of urbanization this remains unknown. Here, we show that increases total rainy-season (May-September) Yangtze River Delta (YRD) urban agglomeration East China are characterized by decreasing and increasing during 1961–2019. This toward heavier is even more prominent than rural areas. Areas with faster expansion rates exhibit stronger negative (positive)...

Abstract China has experienced unprecedented urbanization since the 1980s, resulting in substantial climatic effects from local cities to broad regions. Using Weather Research and Forecasting model dynamically coupled an urban canopy model, we quantified summertime climate of expansion China's most rapidly urbanizing regions: Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei (BTH), Yangtze River Delta (YRD), Pearl (PRD). High‐resolution landscape data each agglomeration for 1988, 2000, 2010 were used simulations. Our...

The Yellow River Basin (YRB) constitutes an important grain-producing area, as well economic core area in China. However, drought and water shortage have always been factors restricting the agricultural sustainable development of this region. intensity YRB affecting it need to be urgently clarified. Based on this, study attempts assess spatio-temporal characteristics using improved traditional temperature vegetation dryness index (ITVDI) identify type constraint effects human activities...

In recent years, there has been a pronounced increase in the frequency of extreme weather events. To comprehensively examine impact on ecosystem services within Wuhan Urban Agglomeration (WUA), this study utilized meteorological station data, Mann-Kendall (MK) test, and Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) to quantify variation trends heatwaves (HW) droughts from 1961 2020. Then Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Trade-offs (InVEST) model was employed evaluate...

We investigated the effect of participating in two domains extracurricular activities (sports and performance arts/clubs) Grades 7 8 on Grade 9 academic motivation letter grades, above baseline performance. Participants were 483 students (55% male; 33% Euro-American, 25% African American, 39% Latino). Propensity score weighting controlled for potential confounders all analyses. Delayed (Grade only) continuous participation (Grades 8) sports predicted competence beliefs valuing education;...

Urbanization brings dramatic changes in land cover and significantly alters urban morphology, which turn affects the ecological processes environment. To promote sustainability, it is necessary to accurately quantify dynamic form reveal associated influencing factors. This study selected seven periods of boundary data socioeconomic for 31 provincial capitals China from 1990 2018. The evolution characteristics factors landscape patterns different dimensions were analyzed based on stepwise...

Abstract Nowadays, studies of ecosystem services (ESs) trade‐offs and synergies in karst areas are limited to a single region. In particular, the quantification nature intensity relationships between ESs continuous distribution (CKDAs) non‐karst (NKAs), full understanding drivers behind this change remains challenge. study, province Guizhou China was used as study area framework developed analyze spatial variation ESs. The utilized Spearman, geographical detector, multi‐scale geographically...
