Ecological risk assessment of ecosystem services in the Taihu Lake Basin of China from 1985 to 2020
2016
Science of the Total Environment
There are tremendous theoretical, methodological and policy challenges in evaluating the impact of land-use change on the degradation of ecosystem services (ES) at the regional scale. ...
This study addresses these challenges by developing an interdisciplinary methodology based on the Procedure for Ecological Tiered Assessment of Risk (PETAR). ...
We would like to express our great gratitude to the National Meteorological Center (NMC) of China for sharing extensive data used in this study. ...

Coastal Landscape Vulnerability Analysis in Eastern China—Based on Land-Use Change in Jiangsu Province
2020
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
Then, the spatial-temporal relationship assessment model of landscape fragility caused by human activities were constructed for each county of Jiangsu Province, China, so as to analyze the spatial distribution ...
activities showed an upward trend. (3) Land use generally has a significant and diverse impact on landscape vulnerability. ...
Therefore, in regional ecological assessment, the landscape ecological vulnerability assessment based on land-use/land-cover change is a regional ecological assessment method based on the perspective of ...

Contributions of Natural Carbon Sink Capacity and Carbon Neutrality in the Context of Net-Zero Carbon Cities: A Case Study of Hangzhou
2022
Sustainability
A more precise and comprehensive understanding of the urban natural carbon sink capacity can support the construction of a net-zero carbon city better. ...
The natural carbon sink in urban space is indispensable for net-zero carbon cities, but the existing measurement system has shortcomings in the measurement elements and precision. ...
As the largest carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystems [7] , soil accounts for up to 56% of the total urban carbon pool [8] . ...

Urbanization Drives SOC Accumulation, Its Temperature Stability and Turnover in Forests, Northeastern China
2017
Forests
Global urbanization is a vital process shaping terrestrial ecosystems but its effects on forest soil carbon (C) dynamics are still not well defined. ...
However, none of the urban-rural gradients showed marked changes in soil basal respiration rate. ...
Introduction Urbanization constitutes an important land use and land cover change process, with impacts on both terrestrial and aquatic carbon pools, and understanding and quantifying carbon flows in cities ...
