How Climate Change and Human Activities Affect the Habitat Quality of the Yellow River Delta
Habitat quality (HQ) is a crucial indicator for assessing ecosystem services. Investigating HQ in the Yellow River Delta (YRD) and elucidating its relationships with climate change and human activities is crucial for supporting regional eco‐economic sustainability. Based on land use data from 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020, the impacts and correlations of climate change and human activities on the ecological environment were analyzed using the …
Mechanisms Disturbing Forest Water Yield Stability in the Upper Yellow River Under Environmental Stress: Insights From Explainable Machine Learning
Forests in the Upper Yellow River Basin (UYRB) function as critical headwater ecosystems where water‐yield stability (WYS) is a priority management concern given accelerating climate change and intensifying anthropogenic pressures. However, current assessments often treat the basin as a homogeneous whole, thereby obscuring the distinct hydrological stability mechanisms of forest ecosystems. Furthermore, reliance on linear assumptions or single, p…
Eco‐Environmental Effects and Driving Forces of Land Use Transition in the Yellow River Delta
Analyzing the spatiotemporal evolution and driving forces of land‐use change in the Yellow River Delta is essential for optimizing territorial spatial layout, enhancing ecological protection, and advancing high‐quality regional development. This study is intended to clarify the quantitative link between land‐use transitions and ecological environmental effects, providing an analytical basis for revealing their coupling mechanisms and future land‐…
Indirect Prediction Based on Machine Learning and Remote Sensing of Ecological Stoichiometric Ratio Superior to Direct Prediction
Exploring carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) contents as well as dynamic balances in soil are important for understanding ecological characteristics and stability. However, the substantial costs associated with soil surveys limited the possibility of large‐scale surveys. The accurate predictive capability of machine learning (ML) supported this possibility. In this study, ML models (Random Forest, RF; support vector machine, SVM; Extrem…
Transformation of social‐ecological systems in the Songhua River Basin, Northeast China: Lessons for a more sustainable development
Social‐ecological systems (SES) are coupled systems formed by the intricate interactions between humans and nature. Our movement towards sustainable lifestyles requires a robust understanding of these interactions. Achieving a sustainable win‐win situation for both social and ecological systems, therefore, necessitates a sound scientific framework outlining the direct and indirect interdependence between a region's inhabitants and the changing na…
Regional sustainability system as ecosystem: Case study of China’s two leading economic circles from a keystone perspective
The impact of urban compactness on urban sustainable development in China: The case of Nanjing
How China's city development takes the course of urban sprawl or urban compactness depends on how urban compactness affects urban sustainable development. Using the vector autoregression (VAR) model, this paper estimates the impact of urban compactness on the urban sustainable development of Nanjing in China during 2005–2015. The results of impulse response analysis show that the responses of social development levels continue to decline after sh…
Ecological landscape regulation approaches in Xilingol, Inner Mongolia: An urban ecosystem services perspective
Most cities or leagues in Inner Mongolia are the result of resource-based industrialization processes and animal husbandry development, leading to a heterogeneous composition and configuration of urban areas seldom guided by proper urban ecological landscape regulation policies. In this paper, we chose Xilingol as a case study, and put forward novel ecological landscape regulation approaches based on ecosystem services (ES) for achieving sustaina…
Some Enlightenment on Stakeholder Engagement: An Inquiry into Sustainable Development Disparity and Its Drivers in CHINA'S Two Leading Economic Zones
Not only accumulating more social outcomes and avoiding worse environmental situations, but also mitigating sustainable development disparity, is an inevitable challenge for transitioning to sustainable development. Measurement of sustainable development disparity and identification of its drivers will be effective to enlighten the stakeholder engagement of sustainable development. In this paper, the inter‐provincial sustainable development dispa…
Bayesian Factor Analysis as a Variable-Selection Problem: Alternative Priors and Consequences
Factor analysis is a popular statistical technique for multivariate data analysis. Developments in the structural equation modeling framework have enabled the use of hybrid confirmatory/exploratory approaches in which factor-loading structures can be explored relatively flexibly within a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) framework. Recently, Muthén & Asparouhov proposed a Bayesian structural equation modeling (BSEM) approach to explore the prese…
Resource-based cities (RBC): A road to sustainability
Resource-based cities (RBC) have made momentous contributions to urbanization in China. However, as natural resources are exhausted, RBC are facing an enormous challenge. In this paper we put forward a resource-based city sustainability index (RCSI) and a resource-based city coordination index (RCCI), including environmental, social, and economic dimensions, adopted three weight scenarios, and selected 13 cities for study. The results: (a) help l…
Ecological benefit assessment of the South-North Water Transfer Project: An eastern route
The South-North Water Transfer Project in China is a massive inter-basin water transfer project and one of the country's most important projects. The project will not only solve water shortage problems, promote regional economic development and improve living conditions in northern China, but also facilitate ecological environmental restoration of the region. Water quantity and quality and the quality and level of social and economic development …
