A cumulative perspective reveals urbanization exacerbates compound extreme heat-air pollution events in China
An integrative social-ecological approach for urban boundary mapping
Clear definition and accurate delineation of urban boundaries are the prerequisite for urban-rural studies. However, urban boundaries have been typically mapped based either on biophysical or socio-economical properties, resulting in barriers in conducting integrative social-ecological studies. Here, we developed a new approach that integrates the biophysical and socio-economical perspectives for urban boundaries mapping, and tested the approach …
Urbanization-induced disparity of extreme heat distribution in metropolitan Beijing
Increasing crop rotation diversity with cover crops builds climate resilience on farms
Farms in the US Midwest are experiencing disruptive heavy rainfall during the spring planting window and more intense droughts during the summer growing season. Recent analyses of field experiments suggest that increasing crop rotational complexity (RC) builds resilience to climate change, especially when rotations include overwintering cover crops that assimilate and retain nutrients and increase organic matter inputs to soil. However, evidence …
Beyond urban parks
The 11th Sustainable Development Goal highlights the urgent need to provide universal access to greenspace for urban residents. Both urban parks and residential greenspaces are important for residents due to similar functions, but previous studies have mostly focused on parks when addressing greenspace inequality. Here, we addressed this issue by simultaneously considering accessibility to residential greenspaces and parks (comprehensive accessib…
Animal resources consumption patterns among agricultural communities during the Western Zhou period
Green spaces provide substantial but unequal urban cooling globally
Climate warming disproportionately impacts countries in the Global South by increasing extreme heat exposure. However, geographic disparities in adaptation capacity are unclear. Here, we assess global inequality in green spaces, which urban residents critically rely on to mitigate outdoor heat stress. We use remote sensing data to quantify daytime cooling by urban greenery in the warm seasons across the ~500 largest cities globally. We show a str…

Block-level spatial integration of population density, social vulnerability, and heavy precipitation reveals intensified urban flooding risk
Social restrictions mitigate the impacts of city density and connectivity on global Covid-19 outbreaks
The impact of air pollution on behavior changes and outdoor recreation in Chinese cities
Comparing relationships between urban heat exposure, ecological structure, and socio-economic patterns in Beijing and New York City

Significant increase in extreme heat events along an urban–rural gradient
Examining ecological justice within the social-ecological-technological system of New York City, USA
Examining justice in cities requires using analytical approaches that can unpack their complex nature and reveal the many interacting dimensions that affect justice patterns and processes. Although justice in cities has been examined extensively, it has primarily focused on social and environmental dimensions. However, justice is multi-dimensional, influenced and affected by multiple actors, dynamics, and processes. In this paper we propose the u…
Within-city spatial and temporal heterogeneity of air temperature and its relationship with land surface temperature
Optimizing the shade potential of trees by accounting for landscape context
Urban tree canopy has greater cooling effects in socially vulnerable communities in the US
China’s ecosystem services planning
Ecosystem services (ES) are a fundamental component of well-being and sustainable urban development with tremendous potential to enhance urban planning. Recently, several studies have evaluated the environmental performance of urban plans using the ES approach. To strengthen this science-policy integration, it is still necessary to perform ES assessments within the urban planning practice as well as to collect empirical evidence on the impacts of…
Urban mapping needs up-to-date approaches to provide diverse perspectives of current urbanization
Better urban vegetation planning for maximum utility in air pollutant reduction
Spatial distribution of urban greenspace in response to urban development from a multi-scale perspective
Urban expansion and renewal are one of the major drivers affecting urban landscapes worldwide. Considerable research has been conducted to understand how urban greenspace (UG) changes in response to urbanization at various scales from individual patches to landscapes. However, most of these studies have been conducted at a single scale, and little is known from a multiple scale perspective. Here, we present a multi-scale analytical framework to q…

Can Money Buy Green? Demographic and Socioeconomic Predictors of Lawn-Care Expenditures and Lawn Greenness in Urban Residential Areas
It is increasingly important to understand how household characteristics influence lawn characteristics, as lawns play an important ecological role in human-dominated landscapes. This article investigates household and neighborhood socioeconomic characteristics as predictors of residential lawn-care expenditures and lawn greenness. The study area is the Gwynns Falls watershed, which includes portions of Baltimore City and Baltimore County, MD. We…

Trees Grow on Money
This study examines the distributional equity of urban tree canopy (UTC) cover for Baltimore, MD, Los Angeles, CA, New York, NY, Philadelphia, PA, Raleigh, NC, Sacramento, CA, and Washington, D.C. using high spatial resolution land cover data and census data. Data are analyzed at the Census Block Group levels using Spearman's correlation, ordinary least squares regression (OLS), and a spatial autoregressive model (SAR). Across all cities there is…
Spatial-Temporal Variations of Water Quality and Its Relationship to Land Use and Land Cover in Beijing, China
Rapid urbanization with intense land use and land cover (LULC) change and explosive population growth has a great impact on water quality. The relationship between LULC characteristics and water quality provides important information for non-point sources (NPS) pollution management. In this study, we first quantified the spatial-temporal patterns of five water quality variables in four watersheds with different levels of urbanization in Beijing, …
