Knowing and unknowing transformative change
Calls for transformative change towards a just and sustainable world often discuss the role of paradigms and knowledge systems as levers for transformation. Yet, current knowledge practices can also obstruct transformation since research priorities reflect dominant interests in science, economy and society and dominant paradigms and knowledge systems, and marginalise alternative forms of knowledge. This situation posed a challenge for the Transfo…
Disparities of long term urban expansion over 7000 cities globally
Do perceived and calculated ecosystem services affect residents’ human well-being differently? ——A comparison study in the Guanting Reservoir basin, China
Urban environmental quality of shrinking cities in China improved less than that of non-shrinking cites during 2000-2020
Subnational protected areas in China experienced disproportional increases in anthropogenic activities from 2000 to 2020
Protected areas (PAs) are among the most effective means of protecting biodiversity. Effectively and sustainably managing PAs has become an urgent priority in China. However, there is currently a lack of comparable long-term quantitative understanding of anthropogenic activities across different levels of PAs in China. This study employs the human footprint (HF) as a comprehensive indicator, using various methods, including buffer analysis, piece…
Dynamics of the water‒energy‒cropland nexus in China from 2007 to 2017
Urban land expanded closer to protected areas in China
Various types of protected areas (PAs) are important for biodiversity conservation and essential for the 2050 Vision for Biodiversity. Rapid urban expansion affects the effectiveness of PAs in many ways. However, we still lack a clear understanding of the spatial relationship between urban expansion and different types of PAs in China during the last 30 years. Here, we analyzed the spatiotemporal changes in such relationship based on the boundari…
A bibliographic review of the relationship between ecosystem services and human well-being
Simulating the dynamics of urban land quantity in China from 2020 to 2070 under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways
Comparing the three-dimensional morphologies of urban buildings along the urban-rural gradients of 91 cities in China
Impacts of urban expansion on natural habitats in global drylands
Assessing the dynamics of sustainability for social-ecological systems based on the adaptive cycle framework
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…

The occupation of cropland by global urban expansion from 1992 to 2016 and its implications
Large-scale urban expansion worldwide has exerted great impacts on cropland and its net primary productivity (NPP), which can affect whether food security and sustainable development goals will be met at global and local scales. Although important, the impacts at the global scale over the last 25 years remain unclear. Based on the latest long-term dynamic urban expansion data, this study analyzed global urban expansion and its impacts on cropland…
Targeted poverty alleviation through photovoltaic-based intervention
China’s response to a national land-system sustainability emergency
How did the urban land in floodplains distribute and expand in China from 1992–2015
Urban land in floodplains (ULF) is a vital component of flood exposure and its variations can cause changes in flood risk. In the context of rapid urbanization, ULF is expanding rapidly in China and imperiling societal sustainability. However, a national-scale analysis of ULF patterns and dynamics has yet to be conducted. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the spatiotemporal changes in China’s ULF at different spatial scales (the country, …
Rapid Population Growth in Chinese Floodplains from 1990 to 2015
Although China suffers from frequent and disastrous floods, the spatiotemporal pattern of its population living in the floodplain (PopF) is still unknown. This strongly limits our understanding of flood risk and the effectiveness of mitigation efforts. Here we present the first quantification of Chinese PopF and its dynamics, based on newly-available population datasets for years 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2015 and on a flood map. We found that the Po…
Rapid Population Growth throughout Asia’s Earthquake-Prone Areas
Assessing the changes of the population living throughout the most seismically hazardous area (MSHA) constitutes an important foundation for seismic risk assessment. However, the changes of the population living in the MSHA of Asia, which exhibits the highest number of earthquake related fatalities, were poorly understood. Therefore, this study analyzed the changes of the population in the MSHA between 2000 and 2015 at the continental, subcontine…
How does sprawl differ across cities in China? A multi-scale investigation using nighttime light and census data
The population in China’s earthquake-prone areas has increased by over 32 million along with rapid urbanization
Accurate assessments of the population exposed to seismic hazard are crucial in seismic risk mapping. Recent rapid urbanization in China has resulted in substantial changes in the size and structure of the population exposed to seismic hazard. Using the latest population census data and seismic maps, this work investigated spatiotemporal changes in the exposure of the population in the most seismically hazardous areas (MSHAs) in China from 1990 t…
Market Impacts on Land-Use Change
Land-use change in a market economy, particularly at the urban–rural fringe in North America, is shaped through land and housing markets. Although market activities are at the core of economic studies of land-use change, many market elements are neglected by coupled human–environment models. We scrutinized the effects of the level of detail of market representation using an abstract, agent-based model of land-use change. This model includes agent…
