Ecological conservation and restoration are necessary to mitigate environmental degradation problems. China has taken great efforts in such actions. To understand the ecological transition during 2000-2010 China, this study analysed trends vegetation change using remote sensing linear regression. Climate socioeconomic factors were included screen driving forces for correlation or comparative analyses. Our results indicated that experienced both greening (restoration) browning (degradation)...

Abstract Recent concurrent processes of vegetation greening and reduced resilience (the capacity to recover from disturbances) worldwide have brought many uncertainties into sustainable ecosystems in the future. However, little is known about conditions extent which affects changes. Here we assess both dynamics China’s Loess Plateau 2000 2020 using satellite-based data an early warning indicator. Our results reveal overall trend vegetated areas, while shifted gains losses at a breakpoint...

Abstract Terrestrial ecosystems can exhibit various behaviors in response to climate change and human activities. Nonlinear abrupt shifts are particularly important as they indicate substantial modifications ecosystem structure function, posing a threat the provision of services. Here we distinguish between linear, curvilinear, productivity from 2000 2020 China's Loess Plateau. We utilize spatial Random Forest models analyze driving factors behind these patterns. Our findings that 84.1%...

Summary Great efforts have been made to control soil erosion by restoring plant communities in degraded ecosystems world‐wide. However, has not substantially reduced mainly because current restoration strategies lead large areas of mono‐specific vegetation, which are inefficient reducing their simple canopy and root structure. Therefore, an advanced understanding how community functional composition affects processes, as well improved scheme reduce erosion, is urgently needed. We...

It is of great significance in the management vegetation ecosystems to assess spatial-temporal dynamics and interactions ecosystem services under influence climate change human activities. In this study, based on different validated spatial models, we estimated three key services: soil conservation (SC), net primary production (NPP) water yield (WY) Shaanxi Province from 2000 2013. Then NPP used as an indicator identify driving forces changes. We also quantified how changes activities affect...

Urban agglomeration is the core area of not only regional economic development and urbanization but also human–land contradiction. Based on population–economy–society–spatial model pressure–state–response model, this study develops an evaluation index system for eco-environment 13 urban agglomerations in China. The are determined using coefficient variation method. coupled coordination two indices measured with influence indicator factors calculated a geographical detector. results reveal...

Rapid urbanization and intensification of human activities increases the risk disturbance ecological systems via multiple sources, with consequences for regional security health. Landscape assessment (LERA) is an effective way to identify allocate resources. We used north south Qinling Mountain area as a case study analyze spatial heterogeneity landscape using potential- connectedness-resilience three-dimensional (PCR 3D) framework based on integrated dynamic concept from adaptive cycle...

Abstract Street‐level bureaucrats (SLBs) can act as policy entrepreneurs to cope with the dilemmas in implementation. However, there is insufficient knowledge about whether strategies adopted by them that SLBs role of are institution sensitive. In addition, regarding elements impel and support such entrepreneurial actions. Based on China's community governance, this article attempts clarify employed result their becoming entrepreneurs. It was observed Chinese primarily three entrepreneurs,...
