Abstract Since the early 2000s, China has carried out extensive “grain-for-green” and grazing exclusion practices to combat desertification in desertification-prone region (DPR). However, environmental socioeconomic impacts of these remain unclear. We quantify compare changes fractional vegetation cover (FVC) with economic population data DPR before after implementation programmes. Here we show that climatic change CO 2 fertilization are relatively strong drivers rehabilitation from...
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose substantial challenges achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Exploring systematic SDG strategies is urgently needed aid recovery from and reinvigorate global actions. Based on available data comprehensive analysis of literature, this paper highlights ongoing facing SDGs, identifies effects progress, proposes a framework for promoting achievement SDGs in post-pandemic era. Progress towards attaining was already lagging behind even...
The lethal danger of particulate matter (PM) pollution on health leads to the development challenging individual protection materials that should ideally exhibit a high PM 2.5 purification efficiency, low air resistance, an important moisture‐vapor transmission rate (MVTR), and easy‐to‐clean property. Herein, cleanable filter able rapidly transfer moisture efficiently capture is designed by electrospinning superhydrophilic polyacrylonitrile/silicon‐dioxide fibers as adsorption–desorption...
The fatal danger of pollution due to particulate matter (PM) calls for both high-efficiency and low-resistance air purification materials, which also provide healthcare. This is however still a challenge. Herein, filter capable releasing negative ions (NIs) efficiently capturing PM2.5 was prepared by electrospinning polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fibers doped with powder (NIPs). air-resistance fibrous membranes decreased from 9.5 6 Pa (decrease 36%) on decreasing the average fiber diameter...
Numerous global-scale land-cover datasets have greatly contributed to the study of global environmental change and sustainable management natural resources. However, inevitably experience information loss because nature uncertainty in interpretation remote-sensing images. Therefore, analyzing spatial consistency multi-source on scale is important maintain time consider effects changes consistency. In this study, we assess five datasets, namely, GLC2000, CCI LC, MCD12, GLOBCOVER GLCNMO, at...
Globally, vegetation has been changing dramatically. The vegetation–water dynamic is key to understanding ecosystem structure and functioning in water-limited ecosystems. Continual satellite monitoring detected global greening. However, a greenness increase does not mean that functions increase. intricate interplays resulting from the relationships between precipitation must be more adequately comprehended. In this study, data, for example, leaf area index (LAI), net primary production (NPP)...
Desertification and its causes are dynamic processes, which therefore make it necessary to discuss the factors that drive desertification in a specific spatiotemporal sense. Here temporal trends potential evapotranspiration (PE) precipitation were selected as climate change indicators, five possible scenarios established relationships between indicators examined for different time periods across northern China. The results indicate was primary or one of drivers reversion northeastern...
Abstract The great challenges of sustainable development highlight an urgent need to systematically understand the mechanisms linking humans and nature. Resources Environmental Sciences are a broad practical discipline focused on coupled human natural systems. They aim study formation evolution resources in earth system, drivers various environmental problems, processes relationships between environment, particularly under combined impacts conditions activities. major problems drive...
Protected areas (PAs) are the critical societal tool to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem services (ESs), but human disturbances frequently threaten them. Here, we used multiple data sources map footprint as a proxy for identifying intensity of activities on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau therein nature reserves (NRs, primary category PAs in China). We found that has increased by 22% since 2000, average, pressure inside NRs was 60% lower than outside. However, identified majority NRs, with only 30%...
Understanding changes of ecosystem services and their influencing factors is crucial for more sustainable management conservation nature contributions to people, especially in regions suffering high pressure from climate change human activities, such as the Nordic countries. In this study, we assess multiple Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden. We analyze habitat quality, sediment retention, water yield, carbon sequestration, crop roundwood production between 2003 2018. The relationships main...
Since the 21 st century, large-scale afforestation projects on Loess Plateau have resulted in significant vegetation greening, contributing to ecosystem restoration and enhanced soil conservation. However, these efforts also led aridification, declining groundwater levels, reduced terrestrial water storage. These negative consequences are primarily attributed increases evapotranspiration (ET), which has augmented consumption. Despite findings, underlying mechanisms driving ET variations...
