When cropland expansion encroaches on ecological land (eg, forest, grassland, wetland), it
seriously affects carbon storage which plays an important role in global climate change …

With the rapid development of urbanization, the disorderly expansion of land use for urban
construction has led to increasingly severe spatial dislocations of ecological land and …

Land use/land cover (LULC) change has greatly altered ecosystem carbon storage capacity
and can eventually profoundly impact global climate change. Characterizing the LULC …

Ecological engineering has become an essential tool in efforts to address environmental
crises, improve human well-being, and achieve sustainability. However, efficient …

Understanding the impacts of large-scale anthropogenic drivers on spatiotemporal
processes in carbon storage through land-use patterns is a growing issue for the …

Cellular automaton (CA) is a widely-used tool for modeling land-use changes that can
enhance our understanding of past and future urban development. Previous studies have …

The oasis ecosystem is integral to the socio-economic stability and development in arid
areas. This study illuminates the relationship between land use/land cover (LULC) and …

Understanding the impacts of urban expansion on ecosystem services (ESs) is important for
sustainable development on regional and global scales. However, due to the uncertainty of …

Ecological security patterns composed of ecological sources and corridors provide an
effective approach to conserving natural ecosystems. Although the direction of ecological …

One of the main manifestations of the Grain-for-Green Programme (GFGP) is land use
change, which will affect the trade-off of ecosystem services. Since the implementation of the …
