Environmental pollution reduction effect of urban land transition in the three major urban agglomerations of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in China
Open AccessLiyan Yang, L T Yang et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2026
Land use transition is an essential approach to understanding human-land relationships. Understanding the mechanism of urban land transition (ULT) in relation to environmental pollution is vital within the context of China’s urbanization, though relevant research is limited. Therefore, this study expands the framework of ULT’s environmental effects based on land use transition theory and systematically analyzes the impact mechanisms of ULT on env…
Impact of Uphill Cropland Expansion on Natural Habitats in Southwest China
Open AccessYelin Peng, Lizhi Wang et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2026
The displacement of cropland expansion from restricted plains to elevated terrains jeopardizes the integrity of mountain habitats, undermining the conservation targets set by the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. However, the distinctive ecological loss of uphill cropland expansion (UCE) is frequently conflated with total cropland expansion, obscuring its unique impact on mountain biodiversity. Here, we established an assessment fra…
Synergizing Economic Growth and Environmental Sustainability: The Impact of Urban Land Agglomeration in the Yangtze River Delta
Open AccessTian Yang, Jie Zeng et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2026
Urban Land Agglomeration (ULA) is continuously reshaping the way of urban spatial growth, emerging as a crucial pathway to balance economic growth and environmental sustainability. However, such economic‐environmental synergies remain unclear, posing challenges to sustainable urban development. This study, using panel data from China's Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration (2006–2020), introduces the fixed effect panel regression model, mediati…

Declining Urban–Rural Population Densities: How Do They Affect Natural Habitat
Open AccessLiyan Yang, Tian Yang et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2025
The decline in urban–rural population density (URPD) has consistently characterized China's rapid urbanization. Analyzing the spatiotemporal trends in URPD and their effects on habitats within the context of China's ecological civilization is crucial. However, quantitative studies on the decline in URPD are lacking, and the impact on natural habitats remains unclear. Therefore, using population census and land‐use data, we analyzed the spatiotemp…

Assessing and mapping cropland abandonment risk in China
Open AccessJie Zeng, Ting Luo et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2024
Cropland abandonment (CA) in China worsens the human‐land conflict and endangers national food sustainability. Scientifically assessing cropland abandonment risk (CAR) can provide valuable information for early warning and prevention of CA. Despite the extensive literature on the identification, determinants, and consequences of CA, the research on CAR still needs to be improved, especially on a grid scale. Therefore, this study constructed an ev…

Spatiotemporal Characteristics of the Coupled Coordination Degree of Ecosystem Services Supply and Demand in Chinese National Nature Reserves
Open AccessCheng Huang, Jie Zeng et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023
Nature reserves (NRs) are the main components of protected areas and geographic spaces, with unique natural and cultural resources. The establishment of nature reserves has not only strengthened the protection of specific species but has also played a vital role in the protection of ecosystem services (ESs). However, few studies have been conducted to systematically assess the effectiveness of nature reserves from the perspective of ecosystem ser…
Impacts of Land-Use Change on Ecosystem Services Value in the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, China
Open AccessJing Zhuge, Jie Zeng et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023
The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (SNWD) in China is a trans-basin water transfer project for water resource optimization that affects ecosystem services functions along its main transfer line. Exploring the effects of land-use change on ecosystem services in the headwater and receiving areas along the SNWD is conducive to improving the protection of the surrounding ecological environment. However, previous research lacks a comparative a…

Simulating the impact of urban expansion on ecosystem services in Chinese urban agglomerations: A multi-scenario perspective
Open AccessWanxu Chen, Guanzheng Wang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Impact Assessment…2023Cited by: 8References: 100
Urban agglomerations (UAs) are the most active areas of urban land expansion. The encroachment of urban land on large-scale ecological land has caused severe ecological problems and threatens the ecological sustainability of UAs. Understanding the characteristics of multi-scenario urban land expansion and its impacts on ecosystem services (ESs) in UAs can provide guidance for formulating ecologically sustainable management and control policies in…

Spatial Distribution Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Traditional Villages in China
Open AccessJiaoJiao Bian, Wanxu Chen et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022
Traditional villages carry the essence of traditional culture, which is necessary for rural revitalisation. However, continuous urban expansion has resulted in the rapid decline and even disappearance of these villages in recent decades. It is necessary to analyse the spatial pattern and influencing factors for the protection and development of traditional villages. Previous studies focused on the value and theoretical protection mechanism of tra…
Prediction of Spatiotemporal Changes in Sloping Cropland in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River Region under Different Scenarios
Open AccessXiaowei Yao, Ting Luo et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022
With the rapid urban expansion and extensive occupation of cropland, sloping cropland has become an important cropland resource across China. How sloping cropland will change under different socioeconomic scenarios is poorly understood. Therefore, we modeled land-cover change using SSP-RCP multi-scenario simulations and analyzed the evolution and driving factors of sloping cropland change in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River Region (MRYRR).…
Evolution Characteristics and Formation Mechanism of Production-Living-Ecological Space in China: Perspective of Main Function Zones
Open AccessNing Xu, Wanxu Chen et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022
The main function zone (MFZ) is the major strategy of China's economic development and ecological environment protection. Clarifying the logical relationship between "MFZ strategy" and "territorial spatial layout" is vital to construct regional economic layout and territorial spatial supporting system of high-quality development. However, few studies have revealed the evolution process and formation mechanism of the production-living-ecological s…
