The evolution of ecological pattern caused by human activities has altered the terrestrial
carbon cycle process, and it is important to explore systematic approaches to study the …

The input of agro-pollutants, such as microplastics and nanopesticides, on farmlands is
widespread and may facilitate biological invasions in agroecosystems. Here, the effects of …

Ecological thresholds comprise relatively fast changes in ecological conditions, with respect
to time or external drivers, and are an attractive concept in both scientific and policy arenas …

Ecosystem services (ESs) are closely related to human well-being (HWB). Recently,
urbanization has increased worldwide, which has had a significant impact on the ecosystem …

Agriculture has been identified as one of the main drivers of environmental degradation in
the European Union (EU). It can have negative impacts on air, water, soil and biodiversity …

Ecosystem services in arid inland regions are significantly affected by climate change and
land use/land cover change associated with agricultural activity. However, the dynamics and …

Land urbanization has been widely identified as an important driver that influences the
structure of land use, thereby causing changes in the order of land-use systems. Therefore …

The study of land use and land cover (LULC) change and the evolution of ecosystem service
values (ESV) is important for optimizing the allocation of regional land resources and …

Reduced light availability induced by eutrophication has dramatically affected the growth of
submerged macrophytes and caused their rapid decline globally in lakes. Functional traits …

Due to high-intensity human disturbance and rapid climate change, optimizing the spatial
pattern of land use has become a pivotal path to restoring ecosystem functions and realizing …
