Spatial and temporal variation and driving factors of wetland in the Amu Darya River Delta, Central Asia

Chanjuan Zan et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the spatial and temporal patterns of wetland changes in the Aral Sea Delta in Central Asia. The results showed that the wetland area has increased due to human activities such as agricultural expansion and construction of reservoirs and irrigation canals. This increase in wetland area contrasts with the drying up of the Aral Sea and has negative implications for ecological restoration.

Remote sensing of wetland evolution in predicting shallow groundwater arsenic distribution in two typical inland basins

Zhipeng Gao et al.

Summary: This study investigates the evolution of wetlands and arsenic concentrations in shallow groundwater in two inland basins along the Yellow River catchment. It is found that wetland coverage has increased over time and longer existence of wetlands may lead to higher probability of high-arsenic groundwater distribution.

Evaluation of SIF retrievals from narrow-band and sub-nanometer airborne hyperspectral imagers flown in tandem: Modelling and validation in the context of plant phenotyping

A. Belwalkar et al.

Summary: Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) can be used as an indicator of crop photosynthetic activity and vegetation stress. This study compares the effects of spectral resolution on SIF quantification using different hyperspectral imagers. The results show that there is a correlation between SIF quantified from narrow-band and sub-nanometer imagers, with the narrow-band imager producing larger SIF estimates. Ground-level SIF also shows strong relationships with airborne retrievals from both types of imagers. Predictive algorithms using SIF from either the narrow-band or sub-nanometer sensor perform similarly in estimating leaf nitrogen concentration, supporting the use of narrow-band resolution imagery for assessing SIF variability in plant phenotyping and precision agriculture.

Soil microbial co-occurrence networks become less connected with soil development in a high Arctic glacier foreland succession

Ke Dong et al.

Summary: Our study suggests that network integration in soil microbial co-occurrence networks does not change over successional time series, but is influenced by soil pH and total organic carbon content. Bacteria play a greater role in the network structure, and the number and relative abundance of keystone species increase significantly when soil pH increases or total organic carbon decreases.

The dominant influencing factors of desertification changes in the source region of Yellow River: Climate change or human activity?

Bing Guo et al.

Summary: Due to global warming and human activities, the ecological environment of the Yellow River source area has undergone profound changes and desertification has become increasingly prominent. This study proposes an optimal desertification monitoring index based on feature space and uses Landsat images to construct it. The spatial and temporal variation of desertification in the Yellow River source area and its driving mechanism are studied using Geodetector. The research findings provide valuable insights for decision-making on desertification control in the Three-River Source Region.

Optimal ranges of social-environmental drivers and their impacts on vegetation dynamics in Kazakhstan

Kolluru Venkatesh et al.

Summary: Kazakhstan's grassland systems, part of the largest contiguous grassland system in the world, have been understudied despite their historical importance for agricultural and pastoral practices. In this study, we examined the individual and interactive effects of various social-environmental system (SES) drivers on vegetation dynamics in Kazakhstan. We found that snow depth and spring drought played major roles in explaining the variance in vegetation greenness, and the freeze-thaw process also had a significant impact across the country. Moisture and topographic factors had a greater influence on vegetation growth compared to socioeconomic factors, but the interaction between socioeconomic and environmental drivers amplified their impacts. Our findings provide insights into the causes of grassland degradation and can inform ecological protection efforts in semiarid regions.
