Traditional knowledge promotes the protection of large old trees: A case from China's richest biocultural diversity area

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2700-2713, November 2025.
Abstract Large old trees are important ecological entities in human settlements, providing cultural values and ecological services that are threatened by current and future changes in global climate, land use and disturbance regimes. Some studies suggest incorporating social and cultural significance into the conservation of large old trees.

Hydro‐Insurgency: Weaponization of Water Resources and Infrastructure in Northeast Syria

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 924-938, November 2025.
ABSTRACT This article examines the strategic weaponization of water resources by Turkey‐backed armed groups in Northeast Syria (NES) within the broader context of the Syrian civil war. As the conflict evolved, water infrastructure—dams, rivers, and irrigation systems—became central to warfare, governance, and foreign agendas. The article introduces the

Governing the Ungovernable: Mapping the Development of Groundwater Irrigation and Groundwater Policies in India

open access: yesWorld Water Policy, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1048-1064, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Groundwater governance is complex due to several externalities associated with groundwater being an invisible natural resource tied to the land with millions of extractors and limited means of exclusion. The paper traces the evolution of groundwater irrigation in India and the corresponding change in groundwater laws and policies to address ...

黄土丘陵区纸坊沟流域60年来土地利用格局变化研究

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2004
以黄土丘陵区纸坊沟流域为研究区,对其60年来的土地利用格局变化进行系统的分析研究,结果表明,土地利用格局变化与人类活动密切相关。农业用地的扩张,是导致林草植被破坏和土地利用格局变化的重要原因。从1938~1958年,坡耕地在土地利用格局中的优势度由低到高,而林草植被的优势度则降至最低点。之后,林草植被随着坡耕地的变化经历了缓慢变化期(1958~1973年)和较快增长期(1973年后)。其中1958年和1995年,是土地利用格局的质变点,也是生态环境变化的重要转折点 ...

东北黑土带土地利用变化特征及生态敏感性评价

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2023
东北黑土带是我国重要的商品粮生产基地,土壤质量退化、水土流失等问题直接影响生态与粮食供给安全,为明晰东北黑土带土地利用变化特征及评价生态敏感性,以2000年、2005年、2010年、2015年、2020年东北黑土带5期土地利用数据为基础,采用转移矩阵、地理探测器、综合生态风险评价等方法,研究景观格局及生态风险变化趋势。结果表明:(1)2000-2020年,研究区未利用地面积增加1 035.7km2,水域面积减少975.8 km2,土地利用变化最明显,耕地是阶段性变化较为剧烈的土地利用方式;(2 ...

Climate and Land‐Use Changes Predicted to Jointly Drive Soil Fungal Diversity Losses in One‐Third of North American Coniferous Forests

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study assessed the potential impacts of climate and land‐use change on soil fungal diversity across four North American biomes. We found that climate change typically caused both diversity losses and gains, particularly in coniferous forests and among arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, whereas land‐use change mainly reduced diversity, especially in ...

天目湖流域土地利用的动态变化及其景观响应

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2008
采用遥感、地理信息系统及景观分析的方法研究了天目湖流域1984年、1995年、2000年、2004年4个时段土地利用/覆盖变化及其景观响应。结果表明:20年来天目湖流域土地利用变化的阶段特征明显,2000~2004年这一时段的土地利用变化最为剧烈,共有14.75%的土地类型发生了变化,年均变化率为3.68%,且近期开发的空间范围广、强度大;各种景观指数对土地利用/土地覆盖变化呈明显的时空响应;迎湖地区景观格局指数的变化最为剧烈,背湖地区较为平缓;入湖河流流域的景观指数空间分异较为明显,下游地区变化较大 ...

秦岭地区近20年来土地利用/土地覆盖变化及分析

open access: yesShuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2006
秦岭地区是中国南北自然环境的天然分界线,是我国自然环境特征形成的一个重要组成部分。利用RS和GIS技术,分析了近20年来秦岭地区土地利用/土地覆盖在数量、结构、类型和空间分布上的变化情况。并对土地利用/土地覆盖变化的驱动力作了进一步探讨,得出以下结论:20年间秦岭地区土地利用/土地覆盖变化林地、草地和建设用地呈增长趋势,耕地、水域和未利用地则呈减少趋势,林地基本呈稳定状态,增幅仅为0.70%,但增加和减少的面积均较大;耕地减少的幅度较大。减幅为158838.02hm^2。主要转变为林地、草地和建设用地 ...
