Long-term remote sensing reveals the development of informal settlements and their impact on land surface temperature in African drylands
Irrigating the Great Green Walls of China and Africa
Capturing land use system thresholds through regime shifts of coastal sustainability in China
Linking production-living-ecological space transformations with sustainable development goals Progress in China's urban agglomerations
From the Gobi to the Sahel
China’s assistance with Africa’s Great Green Wall offers a critical test case for its eco-developmental approach to combating desertification. Unlike Western-backed conservation models, which focus primarily on ecological restoration, China’s strategy—refined through its Three North Shelterbelt Program—focuses on eco-developmentalism, integrating tree planting with large-scale infrastructure, renewable energy, and livelihood transformation throug…
Social and ecological factors on the perception of cultural ecosystem services and disservices
Climate change, social environment, health, and urban inequality
Investigating the decoupling effects between global sustainable development and multi-disaster crises
Various disasters pose significant challenges to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), highlighting the urgent need for research on global sustainability resilience under multi-disaster crises. This study analyzed the spatiotemporal evolution of disaster frequency, losses, and sustainable development performance from 2000 to 2022. On this basis, we examined the differences in sustainable development under overlapping disaster types …
Spatio-temporal evolution of vertical urban growth in China’s Yangtze River Delta from 1990 to 2020
Enhancing social vulnerability assessment with energy resilience
A comprehensive vulnerability assessment is a scientific basis for the realization of the United Nations' sustainable development goals. Energy resilience plays a crucial role in mitigating social vulnerability due to disaster shocks. Often, energy infrastructure and services collapse after disasters. The recent Russia-Ukraine war has exacerbated Europe's energy crisis and social vulnerabilities, making it even more urgent to add energy resilienc…
Spatial and social inequality of hierarchical healthcare accessibility in urban system
Quantitatively distinguishing the impact of solar photovoltaics programs on vegetation in dryland using satellite imagery
Global drylands are experiencing booming development of centralized photovoltaics (PV), which aims to address the dual challenges posed by climate change and energy transformation. In dryland areas with large‐scale deployment of solar PV infrastructure, vegetation was reported to experience drastic changes. However, the long‐term dynamic changes and driving mechanisms have not been thoroughly studied yet. Quantitatively distinguishing the disturb…
Wildlife Consumption, Health, and Zoonotic Disease in China After the Emergence of Covid-19
The Politicization of Covid-19 Origin Stories
The search for the origins of COVID-19 has yielded no conclusive evidence. In the face of this uncertainty, other social and political factors can influence perceptions of virus origins, which in turn can influence policy formation and global efforts to combat future pandemics. Vastly different COVID-19 origin stories may circulate both within the same country but also between different countries. This article examines COVID-19 origins debates as…

Spatio-temporal evolution of urban built-up areas and analysis of driving factors —A comparison of typical cities in north and south China
Telecoupling urbanization and mountain areas deforestation between 2000 and 2020
Forest transition theory posits that socioeconomic development in a country or region may cause its forestland to shift from net loss to net gain. However, forest transition may also occur under various policies, resulting in forest gains in some regions but deforestation in other regions. We used the telecoupling framework to address this crucially important issue that has rarely been examined. Using time series satellite images and statistical …
Divergent processes and trends of desertification in Inner Mongolia and Mongolia
Desertification and the expansion of deserts are regarded as a major threat to human livelihoods and ecosystem services, as well as achieving Sustainable Development Goals. Humans have been recognized as significant agents in the expansion of desert‐like conditions, through the agency of desertification/land degradation, and through contributions to global climate change. Yet, how desertification changes and whether human or climate change drives…
A GIS-Based Approach for Flood Risk Zoning by Combining Social Vulnerability and Flood Susceptibility
The identification of vulnerable people and places to flood is crucial for effective disaster risk management. Here, we combine flood hazard and social vulnerability index to capture the potential risk of flood. In this paper, Nanjing was taken as the case study to explore the spatial pattern of social vulnerability towards flood at the community scale by developing an index system. Based on the flood risk results of ArcSWAT, the risk of flood di…
Assessment of Future Water Yield and Water Purification Services in Data Scarce Region of Northwest China
Water shortage and pollution have become prominent in the arid regions of northwest China, seriously affecting human survival and sustainable development. The Bosten Lake basin has been considered as an example of an arid region in northwest China, and the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model has been used to quantitatively evaluate the future water yield and water purification services for four representative c…
Assessing Ecosystem Services Supply-Demand (Mis)Matches for Differential City Management in the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration
With the global increase in population and urban expansion, the simultaneous rise of social demand and degradation of ecosystems is omnipresent, especially in the urban agglomerations of China. In order to manage environmental problems and match ecosystem supply and social demand, these urban agglomerations promoted regional socio-ecological integration but ignored differential city management during the process of integration. Therefore, it is n…

Marginalised countryside in a globalised city
This paper takes Wujing Township of Shanghai as a typical case to examine the process and dynamics of the production of rural space in China. Although Shanghai has generally become more urbanised and globalised than ever, the rural area in Shanghai is relatively marginalised. Production of space, as a social theory focusing on interactions between capital, power and class and their impacts on urbanisation, is applied into one such micro-scale cas…

Large‐scale deforestation of mountainous areas during the 21 st Century in Zhejiang Province
Deforestation affects environmental systems worldwide by increasing disaster risk and carbon emissions and also by reducing soil fertility rejuvenation and biodiversity. Here, we inspected the patterns and processes of deforestation in Zhejiang Province of China since 2000 under a background of national forest restoration. By integrating the Hansen high‐resolution forest cover change products and a field study, the relationship between forest los…
A framework to evaluate land degradation and restoration responses for improved planning and decision-making
Avoiding, reducing or reversing land degradation will require increased restoration investments, carefully targeted and implemented to maximize environmental, economic and social benefits. Our objective was to develop a multi-criteria framework to assess effectiveness of land degradation responses for enhanced land use planning and restoration by evaluating both direct biophysical and socio-economic responses and indirect effects of various resto…
