An analysis of the influence of the human presence on the distribution of provisioning ecosystem services: A Guyana case study

Muna Shah et al.

Summary: The impact of human presence on provisioning ecosystem services derived from plants in the Rupununi region of Southern Guyana was examined. The study found that the influence of human presence on subsistence and logging services was stronger at the landscape-level than at the village-level, with various factors such as distance to village, distance to road, distance to water, elevation, and slope significantly affecting the distributions of these services. Despite subsistence services appearing more favorable, both types of services were still comparable across the landscape.

Analyzing the influence of land use/land cover change on landscape pattern and ecosystem services in the Poyang Lake Region, China

Zhe Yuan et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the changes in land use/land cover and landscape patterns in the Poyang Lake Region, and found that the increase in construction land and decrease in cultivated land have led to a decrease in total ecosystem service values. Predictions for the future suggest that construction land and waterbody areas will continue to increase, resulting in more regular patch shapes, longer patch edges, reduced connectivity of patches, and an increase in ecosystem service values.

On Landscape Patterns in Typical Mountainous Counties Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River in China

Yang Yi et al.

Summary: The study compared the landscape patterns of plantations (PT) and natural forests (NF) in three typical silvicultural counties, revealing significant differences in size and fragmentation. Human activities have interfered with natural forests, highlighting the need for afforestation strategies closer to nature. PT areas are increasing as an ecological protection strategy, but their landscape patterns are distinctly different from NF, potentially impacting ecological material energy flow. The findings have implications for other regions in China and the world where natural forests have been heavily disturbed.

Effects of Urbanization on Landscape Patterns in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River Region

Yang Yi et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the main land use types in the MRYRR are cropland and forestland, accounting for over three-quarters of the total area. Over the past 25 years, the region has undergone significant urbanization, with a 36-fold increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Socio-economic variables show positive correlation with built-up land, orchard, and Shannon diversity index, while showing negative correlation with cropland, wasteland, mean patch size, and contagion size. Urbanization development has had a major impact on the region, making ecological protection a challenging task requiring the protection of high-quality cropland and the establishment of ecological corridors and nodes for regional sustainable development.

Factors Affecting Landslide Susceptibility Mapping: Assessing the Influence of Different Machine Learning Approaches, Sampling Strategies and Data Splitting

Minu Treesa Abraham et al.

Summary: Data driven methods such as Machine Learning algorithms are widely used for Landslide Susceptibility Mapping (LSM). The choice of algorithm and sampling strategy play crucial roles in obtaining accurate results. Random Forest, K Nearest Neighbors, and Support Vector Machine algorithms perform better than Naive Bayes and Logistic Regression, with the former three being more sensitive to sampling strategy and data points. Increasing data points leads to better performance for KNN, RF, and SVM algorithms, while NB and LR algorithms are less affected by sampling strategy and data splitting ratio.
