Abstract Rapid urban expansion has profound impacts on global biodiversity through habitat conversion, degradation, fragmentation, and species extinction. However, how future will affect needs to be better understood. We contribute filling this knowledge gap by combining spatially explicit projections of under shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) with datasets terrestrial (amphibians, mammals, birds). Overall, lead 11–33 million hectares natural loss 2100 the SSP scenarios disproportionately...
Abstract Irrigated agriculture has important implications for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. However, there is a lack of systematic and quantitative analyses its impacts on food–energy–water–CO 2 nexus. Here we studied irrigated nexus across food sending systems (the North China Plain (NCP)), receiving rest China) spillover (Hubei Province, affected by interactions between systems), using life cycle assessment, model scenarios, framework metacoupling...
Abstract Increasing population size and economic dependence on the coastal zone, coupled with growing need for residential, agricultural, industrial, commercial green space infrastructure, are key drivers of land reclamation. Until now, there has been no comprehensive assessment global distribution use reclaimed at coast. Here, we analyze Landsat satellite imagery from 2000 to 2020 quantify spatial extent, scale, urban reclamation 135 cities populations in excess 1 million. Findings indicate...
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%...
Abstract Accelerating efforts for the Sustainable Development Goals requires understanding their synergies and trade-offs at national sub-national levels, which will help identify key hurdles opportunities to prioritize them in an indivisible manner a country. Here, we present importance of 17 goals through synergy trade-off networks. Our results reveal that 19 provinces show highest SDG13 (Combating Climate Change) or SDG5 (Gender Equality) consistent with level, other 12 varying. 24 SDG1...
Abstract Background Sodium oligomannate (GV-971), a marine-derived oligosaccharide, is novel agent that may improve cognition in AD patients. Methods The 24-week multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo parallel controlled clinical trial was conducted China between 24 October 2011 and 10 July 2013. study included 4-week screening/washout period, followed by treatment period. Patients were randomized 1:1:1 ratio to receive GV-971 900 mg, 600 or capsule respectively. primary outcome...
Many leading countries are boosting renewables, especially solar energy, as a major way to mitigate future energy crises and climate change. Particularly, in China, the number scale of photovoltaic (PV) power stations have grown unprecedentedly last decade. There is an urgent need monitor PV development order accurately estimate national renewable potentials understand ecological impacts. However, there few efforts towards providing spatially explicit time-series datasets at regional scales....
Unraveling the complexity of 17 interacting sustainable development goals (SDGs) is crucial for their achievement. Empirically revealing dimensions SDGs helps generalize dominant features and better understand drivers. Here, using a database 166 countries' progress toward achieving each individual SDG, we found that about 70% variability national SDG performance can be captured by three dimensions: socioeconomic at expense resource climate, environment, equality. Moreover, these are mainly...
Abstract The social–ecological trap is an emerging concept that describes situations in which self‐reinforcing social and ecological feedbacks maintain or push a system towards undesirable state threaten the sustainability of human societies. Understanding system's feedback loops identifying leading factors such traps essential to develop effective management strategies warn, avoid escape traps. To better understand dynamics traps, we developed quantitative diagnostic framework combines...
Abstract Large‐scale photovoltaic (PV) plants are growing rapidly in drylands because of the rich solar radiation and vast unutilized land. The transformation landscapes dryland has threatened local fragile vegetation. Existing studies have investigated issue by field observations satellite data, yet spatial differences vegetation changes due to PV deployment underlying driving mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, Landsat Normalized Difference Vegetation Index data were used...
In an increasingly interconnected world, human–environment interactions involving flows of people, organisms, goods, information, and energy are expanding in magnitude extent, often over long distances. As a universal paradigm for examining these interactions, the telecoupling framework (published 2013) has been broadly implemented across world by researchers from diverse disciplines. We conducted systematic review first five years research to evaluate state science identify strengths, areas...
Renewable energy is crucial to address climate change and achieve carbon neutrality. Within the existing technologies, photovoltaics one of most promising renewable energies. However, large-scale development always needs a large amount space, competing for land with other usages. Installing on water surfaces such as lakes reservoirs major solutions solve contradiction between photovoltaic shortage. In recent years, many countries have been actively promoting (WPV) reduce emission meet...
