    查看更多>>摘要：Many cities face heat wave(HW)events,combined with the existent surface urban heat island(SUHI)effects.This places pressure on human settlements and sustainable de-velopment.However,few studies have investigated the SUHI effects from the perspective of HWs.In this study,the summer HWs in Beijing from 2001 to 2021 were calculated,and the evolution of HWs and SUHIs was quantitatively analyzed based on the dynamic nature of the urban-rural boundary.Beijing experienced 27 HWs in the 21 years,including 10 instances in June,four in July,and 13 in August.The SUHI varied during HWs,between 2-3℃ in most years.The highest SUHI occurred in 2019,reaching 3.99℃ and covering the largest area(10,887 km2).The fluctuation in HWs and SUHIs generally displayed the same spatiotemporal pattern,and HWs amplified the SUHIs to a certain extent,with the highest correlation coeffi-cient being 0.44.Additionally,impervious surfaces and cropland contributed most to SUHIs,and night light enhanced SUHIs.Observing the co-evolution of HWs and SUHIs will be helpful for ecological maintenance and urban infrastructure optimization and provide theoretical support for reducing heat risk and improving the human settlement environment.

    查看更多>>摘要：The large-scale management of ditches and implementation of land projects in lo-ess areas have increased the arable land area but have caused considerable engineering issues,resulting in severe soil erosion.In this study,field tests were performed at different time scales,a control group was established,organic material-plant joint restoration tech-nology was proposed as an optimized management measure,and the erosion control mechanism and restoration mode of organic material-plant joint restoration technology were analyzed.Based on the obtained experimental data,a Water Erosion Prediction Project(WEPP)-based hydraulic erosion model was constructed,sensitivity parameters were cali-brated,and the soil erosion intensity and corresponding spatial distribution in the watershed of the study area were simulated via the geo-spatial interface for WEPP(GeoWEPP)after organic material-plant joint restoration technology was adopted to predict the effect of opti-mized management measures.The results showed that among the slopes with different res-toration measures,organic material-plant joint restoration technology effectively controlled loess slope erosion,and the average erosion modulus of the organic material-grass and shrub transplantation slope reached only 23.37 t/km2,which is a decrease of 97.68％relative to the traditional grass-shrub protection slope.Moreover,the sand content of the joint resto-ration slope was reduced by 392.41 g/L relative to the bare slope,reaching only 0.29 g/L,and the runoff yield was reduced by 8.88 L/min.The GeoWEPP modeling results revealed that the total runoff yield and average annual erosion modulus of the watershed were lower after joint restoration than during the prerestoration period.Similarly,the total runoff yield of the water-shed was 4.6％,the simulated 10-year average annual total sand production reached 2048.3 t,and the average annual erosion modulus was 582.75 t/km2,which is 52.15％lower than that under untreated conditions.This study provides a new strategy for solving soil erosion prob-lems and restoring the ecology of slopes after managing ditches and implementing land pro-jects.

    查看更多>>摘要：The use of territories in border areas is sensitive,unique,and ecologically fragile.A scientific understanding of the transformation of the national territorial space and its ecologi-cal and environmental responses is crucial for optimizing spatial patterns and promoting sustainable utilization.This study focused on 45 cities in the land border areas of China and employed techniques such as the land transfer matrix,Theil index,and ecological environ-ment index to explore the spatiotemporal evolution process and eco-environmental effects of territorial space from three dimensions:spatial pattern,structural transformation,and eco-logical response.The results show that:(1)During the study period,there was an increasing trend in living and production space,along with a decrease in ecological space,and a signif-icant pattern of"one belt,three districts,and multipoints"emerged.(2)In the urbanization process,population growth and industrial agglomeration have led to the transformation and conflict of territorial spaces,with the conversion of ecological spaces into production spaces being the primary form of land-use transformation.Rapid development has resulted in spatial differentiation of the territorial space between regions.(3)During this period,the ecological quality in China's border areas deteriorated,yet the distribution pattern of ecological space remained stable,exhibiting a"high value in the southeast,low value in the northwest"pattern.(4)Improvements and degradation of the ecology coexist in different border areas;trans-forming agricultural production space into green and potential ecological spaces has posi-tively contributed to enhancing ecological quality.In contrast,converting green ecological space into potential ecological space,agricultural production space,and aquatic ecological space has become a key factor in ecological degradation.Therefore,the border areas of China should utilize national preferential policies and strategies,recognize the vast and var-ied expanse of China's border areas,and adopt differentiated planning and management measures in different regions to achieve the coordinated development of the PLES,thus promoting a positive trend in eco-environmental quality.

    查看更多>>摘要：Railways are a crucial part of the African transport network and have a significant impact on the socio-economy and urban development.Previous studies have mainly consid-ered the impacts of railways in Africa from the perspective of economy,politics,security,and natural environment with few attempts to consider land use.Based on Landsat remote sensing data for the 10 km buffer zone along the Ethiopian section of the Addis Aba-ba-Djibouti Railway(ADR)in 2013,2017,and 2021,we studied the land use change(LUC)in the area and explored its influencing factors using the ordinary least square model(OLS)and geographical weighted regression model(GWR).There were six key results.(1)Farmland,forest,grassland,and others(including sandy land and bare land)were the primary types of land use,but from 2013 to 2021,the area of built-up land and farmland increased,whereas the area of forest,grassland,and other land decreased.(2)There was a noticeable pattern in the degree of change in the area of built-up land,farmland,and forest as the buffer distance increased along the railway.This pattern indicated a gradual shift in land use and LUC gra-dients.(3)The land use structure and its changes in the areas surrounding different stations displayed obvious differences.(4)The construction and operation of the ADR is one of the direct factors affecting landscape change along the railway.(5)The distance from the train station,whether the station provides a passenger service,the population size,and the dis-tance from the central city had a positive effect on the expansion of built-up land surrounding the station.The factor of whether the station provides a freight service had a negative corre-lation with the expansion of built-up land.Socio-economic factors have gradually replaced railway factors as the main driving force of the expansion of built-up land around the stations.(6)The effect strength of different factors on the expansion of built-up land varied in the areas surrounding different stations.

    Differential depression of the glacier equilibrium-line altitudes in the Yarlung Zangbo Downstream Basin in the Last Glacial Maximum compared to the pre-industrial era

    查看更多>>摘要：Glaciers in the Yarlung Zangbo Downstream Basin(YZDB)are sensitive to global climate change.The equilibrium-line altitude(ELA)is a key indicator of glacial development.Current models for simulating the meteorological ELA underestimate the extent of glacial advance during the Last Glacial Maximum(LGM)in the YZDB and cannot explain the large-scale glacial extension compared with the Yarlung Zangbo Midstream Basin(YZMB).In this study,the distribution of ELA in the LGM is reconstructed using high-resolution 80-km ECHAM5 simulations and empirical relationships between temperature and precipitation.Changes in ELA between the LGM and pre-industrial era(PI)are compared.Our simulated ELA closely fits the published field data.In the YZDB,simulated LGM ELAs range from ca.3500 m to over 4900 m,representing declines of ca.300-950 m.The ECHAM5 simulations better reflect the complex topographic features than most coarse-resolution climate models,and the ELA distribution is controlled by the spatial arrangement of river valley systems and mountain ranges and their impact on precipitation.Compared with the PI era,most of the monsoon precipitation in the LGM was concentrated in the YZDB,which is the main driver of glacial extension and the differential response of the downstream and midstream basins.

    Characterizing the behavior of surge-type glaciers in the Puruogangri Ice Field,Tibetan Plateau

    ZHOU SugangWANG NinglianLI ZhijieYAO Xiaojun...
    1174-1194页
    查看更多>>摘要：The Puruogangri Ice Field(PIF),classified as an ultra-continental glacier,is con-sidered extremely stable.However,several glaciers in this area have recently experienced surge events with significant instability and information on surge-type glaciers(STGs)in this region remains scarce.In this study,we identified six STGs and reported the observed characteristics of their surging behavior in the region by mapping glacier boundaries,surface flow velocity information,and glacier surface elevation changes using recent Landsat satellite imagery and shuttle radar topography mission(SRTM),TanDEM,and ASTER digital eleva-tion model(AST14DEM)data.These data provide valuable insights into recent glacial pro-cesses,flow instability,and rapid glacial movement.During the active phase of the glaciers,all exhibited frontal advances and changes in surface elevation.Owing to limitations in the satellite imagery,flow velocity profiles were only available for glaciers N1(G089071E33998N),NE1(G089128E33943N),and SE3(G089278E33913N)during the active phase.However,these results effectively reflect the velocity variations in both glaciers before,during,and after the surge.Based on the characteristics of the STG,scientific expeditions,and meteorological data,we believe that the surge in PIF was largely influenced by glacier meltwater and changes in subglacial drainage systems.

    查看更多>>摘要：Despite previous studies on the interconnectedness of livelihood risks and hu-man well-being,limited emphasis has been placed on the influence of geographic acces-sibility and rural governance on the well-being of rural households.Furthermore,the in-terplay between geographic accessibility,rural governance,and livelihood risk remains inadequately explored.Based on 522 household samples collected in the Dabie Moun-and ordinary least squares regression,this study examines the influence of multiple risks on the subjective well-being of rural households by investigating the moderating roles played by geographic accessibility and rural governance.The results show that(1)multi-ple risk factors have a significant negative effect on rural households'well-being(β=-0.219,p＜0.01);(2)geographic accessibility has a weak positive effect on rural households'well-being(β=0.064,p＜0.1)compared to rural governance,which plays a larger positive role(β=0.228,p＜0.01);and(3)geographic accessibility has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between multiple risks and rural households'well-being,decreasing the adverse impact of multiple risks on households'well-being.Our findings suggest that geographic accessibility and rural governance have positive impli-cations for enhancing the well-being of rural households.The findings provide policy in-sight into mitigating livelihood risks and their negative impacts on household well-being in mountainous regions worldwide.

    查看更多>>摘要：Rural vitality is the life force expressed by a combination of endogenous dynamics and external influences.Exploring the complex relationship between rural functions,elements and flows could achieve sustainable rural development.This study constructed a theoretical framework guided by the four functions of production,living,ecology and culture with the support of mobile big data.Furthermore,the network centrality of villages was estimated to reflect the intensity of urban-rural social mobility ties.The results indicated marked spatial disparities in rural vitality,and the coupling of ecological-cultural vitality has a high degree of coherence.Four rural vitality grades were identified:high level(38,14.08％),medium-high level(66,24.44％),medium-low level(110,40.74％)and low level(56,20.74％),covering 270 administrative village units.The flow intensity of social linkage elements is consistent with rural vitality and the socioeconomic spillover effect of urban centers on neighboring villages was noticeable.Topographic complexity negatively affected the living function,mainly in the T1 and T2 terrain gradients;the rural ecological function was not fully correlated with urban adjacency,and proximity could lead to adverse effects such as urban sprawl and resource destruction.The application of this study is to explore the importance of"flow"by utilizing mobile big data to refine the evaluation unit to the village scale.Accelerating the construction of network coverage and information interconnection and promoting the elemental flow of people,transportation and information between urban and rural areas are important ways to enhance rural vitality.
