Abstract Grassland degradation and desertification is a complex process, including both state conversion (e.g., grasslands to deserts) gradual within‐state change greenness dynamics). Existing studies hardly separated the two components analyzed it as whole based on time series vegetation index data, which cannot provide clear comprehensive picture for grassland desertification. Here we propose an integrated assessment strategy, by considering of grasslands, investigate process in Central...

Improvement in the efficiency of farmland utilization and multiple cropping systems are prime importance for achieving food security China. Therefore, spatially-explicit analysis detecting trends intensity important preconditions sustainable agricultural development. However, knowledge about spatiotemporal dynamics China remains limited. In this study, we generated annual maps during 2000–2015 using a rule-based algorithm MOD09A1 time series imagery. We then analyzed spatio-temporal changes...

Accurate and detailed monitoring of population distribution evolution is great significance in formulating a planning strategy China. The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) nighttime lights time-series (NLT) image products offer good opportunity for detecting the owing to its high correlation human activities. However, their detection capability greatly limited lack in-flight calibration. At present, synergistic use systematically-corrected NLT...

Urban expansion form is the most direct manifestation of urban in space. Although it has been widely and vigorously studied, relatively little attention paid to reveal its spatiotemporal characteristics at administrative level over a long timeframe. In this study, 31 Chinese municipalities provincial capitals were selected as subjects identify forms higher cities China. First, processes these past four decades reconstructed using remote sensing geographical information system (GIS)...

Urbanization in China has been experiencing a remarkable dynamism the past 40 years. The most evident implication of urbanization is physical growth cities. We analyze urban land rates and changes spatial forms from end 1980s to 2010 based on authoritative National Land Use/Cover Database China. present new measures that describe 'urban types' 'fluctuations growth' within monitoring time span with temporal interval five-year steps. evaluate correlations between socioeconomic data. Results...

Human activities have dramatically changed ecosystems. As an irreplaceable ecological barrier in western China, the Qilian Mountains (QLM) provide various ecosystem services for humans. To evaluate changes intensity of human QLM and their impact on ecosystem, footprint (HF) method was used to conduct a spatial dataset activity intensity. In our study, NDVI characterize growth vegetation, six categories pressures were employed create HF map 2000–2015 at 1-km scale. The results showed that...

Based on Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) technology, urban expansion of 75 cities in China from the 1970s to 2020 was reconstructed by visual-interpretation method, which described growing process lands its influences local land use structures synchronously. By employing annual area per city density, spatial-temporal characteristics macro patterns were analyzed aspects regional-distributions, administrative-levels population-sizes comprehensively. Results...

In the rapidly urbanizing world, as one of distinct anthropogenic alterations global climate change, warming has attracted rising concerns due to its negative effects on human well-being and biodiversity. However, existing studies mostly focused difference in temperature elevation among urbanized areas non-urbanized areas, i.e., rural or suburban areas. The allometric urban at intra-urban scales was overlooked. This research aimed expand our understanding urbanization–temperature...

Current noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) based on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) mainly targets the detection of chromosome aberrations but not dominant single-gene disorders (dSGDs). This prospective pilot study aims to evaluate clinical utility a plasma cfDNA and targeted next-generation sequencing-based NIPT approach for dSGDs (NIPT-dSGD), with particular focus neurodevelopmental (NDDs). The NIPT-dSGD method 34 genes, including 25 correlated NDDs nine Noonan spectrum, skeletal,...

Understanding and quantifying the dynamic features of local ecosystem services (ESs) integrating diverse assessment results form crucial foundations for regional ES management. However, existing methods objectively evaluating multiple ESs remain limited. Consequently, this research evaluates four key based on InVEST RUSLE models in Central Yunnan Province (CYP)-from 2000 to 2020: water yield (WY), carbon storage (CS), habitat quality (HQ), soil conservation (SC). It then constructs an...

Aquatic fungi include those that occur in freshwater, marine, and brackish water habitats. In China, aquatic have been investigated since 1920s. this paper, we summarized the known data provided a comprehensive list of China. To date, 969 species reported including 782 213 from freshwater marine habitats, respectively, with 26 overlaps. The comprise 25 chytridiomycetes, 256 ascomycetes, 416 hyphomycetes, 63 oomycetes, 22 zygomycetes. 117 48 1 basidiomycete, 5 42 yeasts. Although China are...
