How does urbanization affect vegetation productivity in the coastal cities of eastern China?

Yixin Chen et al.

Summary: The impacts of urbanization on vegetation GPP vary among different cities, with changes including straight declining, depressed, and reversed S shapes in vegetation GPP; there is a turning point at approximately 0.8 of urbanization intensities for the indirect impacts, with different performances in different coastal zones.

Monitoring ecosystem services in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area based on multi-temporal deep learning

Yang Lu et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a deep learning method to assess the changes in ecosystem services in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and quantifies the value of these services using an index-based evaluation method. The results show the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method and reveal the mismatch between ecosystem service supply and demand as well as the spatial characteristics of ecosystem service budget changes in the GBA.

Impacts of Land Use Changes on Net Primary Productivity in Urban Agglomerations under Multi-Scenarios Simulation

Yuhan Chen et al.

Summary: Land use is closely related to the sustainability of urban agglomerations. The impact of land use changes on net primary productivity (NPP) was studied using various mathematical analysis methods, and the future trend of NPP was forecasted. The study provides insights for policymakers to manage land use dynamics and maintain sustainable development of urban regional ecosystems.

Exploring Ecosystem Functioning in Spain with Gross and Net Primary Production Time Series

Beatriz Martinez et al.

Summary: The main objective of this study is to analyze the spatial and temporal variability of gross and net primary production (GPP and NPP) in Peninsular Spain across 15 years (2004-2018) and determine the relationship of those carbon fluxes with precipitation and air temperature. The results show significant negative changes in vegetation in southeastern Spain, the eastern Mediterranean coastland, and central Spain, while forests and irrigated crops have higher production than rainfed crops, shrublands, grasslands, and sparse vegetation.

Impacts of strengthened warming by urban heat island on carbon sequestration of urban ecosystems in a subtropical city of China

Jun Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of urban heat island on vegetation growth and carbon sequestration, revealing that intensified warming by urban heat island may create additional constraints on carbon sequestration of urban ecosystems in subtropical regions. Future global warming may lead to a weakening of vegetation carbon sequestration in subtropical and tropical ecosystems.

Determinants of net primary productivity: Low-carbon development from the perspective of carbon sequestration

Xin Liu et al.

Summary: Net primary productivity is crucial for low-carbon development, with urbanization driving an increase and land utilization change being the main cause of decrease. Reasonable land utilization planning is essential to reduce the loss of net primary productivity in the process of urbanization.

Determining the impacts of climate change and urban expansion on net primary productivity using the spatio-temporal fusion of remote sensing data

Yuchao Yan et al.

Summary: The study used the ESTARFM model to fuse NDVI in order to determine the impact of urban expansion and climate change on NPP, finding that the 30-meter NPP is more accurate than the 250-meter NPP.

Quantifying the indirect effects of urbanization on urban vegetation carbon uptake in the megacity of Shanghai, China

Shuyun Wei et al.

Summary: This study quantified the indirect effects of urbanization on urban vegetation carbon uptake in Shanghai using multisource remote sensing data. Urbanization promoted vegetation carbon uptake mainly through increasing temperature and fragmenting vegetation landscape patterns, with the relative contribution of vegetation landscape pattern to vegetation carbon uptake at about 85%.
