Spatio-temporal variations in landscape ecological risk related to road network in the Central Himalaya

Deepika Mann et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of road networks and topography on landscape structure and landscape ecological risk in the south-western foothills of the Central Himalaya. The results showed that high-risk LER zones are closer to the road network, with increasing built-up areas adjacent to roads. The geographically weighted regression model better explained the relationship between LER and distance from different road-types compared to ordinary least square regression, providing valuable insights for sustainable infrastructure development and management of ecologically vulnerable landscapes.

Heterogeneous effects of climate change and human activities on annual landscape change in coastal cities of mainland China

Ying Li et al.

Summary: This study examines the changing trends of annual landscape patterns along the Chinese coastal zones from 1992 to 2018, revealing that coastal areas in China have rapidly become more fragmented and irregular in landscape over the past 30 years. Different evolution directions of landscape patterns were observed between urban fringe and remote areas far away from urban center, with high changing rates occurring in areas adjacent to major urban agglomerations.

An integrated framework for the comprehensive evaluation of low impact development strategies

Kerim Koc et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the performances of seven different LID scenarios in the Ayamama watershed in Istanbul, with a focus on social, economic, and environmental criteria. The results showed that the combination of green roof and bioretention cells significantly reduced urban flooding impacts. The integrated framework could assist decision-makers in designating optimal LID scenarios.
