Clarifying the spatial heterogeneity of urban heat island (UHI) effect is great significance for promoting sustainable development. A GeoDetector was used to detect influential natural and society factors. Natural factors (normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), soil-regulating (SAVI), normalized building (NDBI), modified water (MNDWI)) as well (road density (RDD), population (POPD)) were selected driving be tested their explanatory power land surface temperature (LST). Results...
As ecological and environmental issues have received continuous attention, forest transition has gradually become the frontier a hot issue, which implications for biodiversity ecosystem functioning. In this study, spatial-temporal dynamics spatial determinants of quality were investigated using econometric regression models at province level, contained 31 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities in China. The results showed that area, volume, coverage, greatly increased as 2018, but...
Shrub layer diversity is an essential component of the forest ecosystem diversity, that contributes significantly to structuring community and maintaining especially in plantation forests. In previous studies, researchers have reported strong relationship among various factors (i.e., soil composition, mean annual temperature, etc.) shrub diversity. However, how these jointly influence which could be considered key still unknown. this study, we attempted quantify effect environmental factors,...
Plant functional traits (PFTs) can reflect the response of plants to environment, objectively expressing adaptability external environment. In previous studies, various relationships between abiotic factors and PFTs have been reported. However, how these work together influence is not clear. This study attempted quantify effects topographic conditions, soil vegetation structure on PFTs. Four categories variables were represented using 29 collected from 171 herb plots 57 sites (from different...
Pinus tabuliformis is an important afforestation species in the Loess Plateau. Quick and accurate estimation of aboveground biomass (AGB) P. plantations plays role monitoring regional forest resources. Here, we used multi-spectral remote sensing data domestic satellite GF-2 field to estimate Shibao farm Huanglong Mountain Shaanxi Province. We calculated eight texture features five vegetation indices, then built models based four windows (3×3, 5×5, 7×7, 9×9) by using regression methods...
Competition is an essential driving factor that influences forest community sustainability, yet measuring it poses several challenges. To date, the Index (CI) has generally been tool of choice for quantifying actual competition. In this study, we proposed using Total Overlap (TOI), a CI in which Area (AO) index adapted and modified to consider “shading” “crowding” effects vertical dimension. Next, based on six mixed plots Xiaolong Mountain, Gansu, China, assessed results determine TOI’s...
Abstract Forest fragmentation is one of the major environmental issues that international community generally concerned about under background global climate change. Studying impact and interaction mechanism land use change processes on landscape important to gaining a comprehensive understanding ecosystem response human activities Based implementation for “Grain Green” Project, we selected Loess Plateau as research area used coupled future simulation (FLUS) model explore temporal spatial...
