Interactive Effects of Climate and Land Use Change on Taxus Species: An Integrated Modelling Framework for Identifying Long‐Term Refugia

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Biodiversity is fundamental to maintaining ecosystem function and stability, while climate change (CC) and land‐use/land‐cover change (LUCC) jointly threaten the survival of endangered tree species. Currently, the individual and combined effects of these two factors on species distribution remain unclear, and their interaction mechanisms ...

Spatial Heterogeneity and Nonlinear Influencing Mechanisms of Vegetation Carbon Sequestration Capacity in the Southwest China Karst Region

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics of vegetation carbon sequestration capacity (VCSC) in Southwest China's contiguous karst region is critical for regional carbon cycling. Using MOD17A3 data from 2001 to 2023, we analyzed spatial heterogeneity in vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) and applied Geodetector to evaluate nonlinear ...

Linking Grain Planting Patterns to Multidimensional Agricultural Sustainability: Evidence From Landscape Metrics and Spatial Analysis in China

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Changes in grain planting patterns have been closely linked to substantial increases in crop yields. However, their relationships with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) remain unclear, particularly across multiple SDG dimensions. Clarifying these relationships could help inform progress toward food security and the SDGs.

Multi‐Scale Drivers of Food‐Water‐Energy Related Ecosystem Services in the Context of Land Degradation: Insights From the Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei Agglomeration

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 2058-2083, 15 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Land degradation poses significant challenges to maintaining food–water–energy (FWE) security, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. The ecosystem services (ES) related to FWE are critical for sustainable regional development. Yet, rapid urbanization in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region has altered land use and ecological patterns ...

Flooding in the Tamanduateí River Hydrographic Basin: A Spatial and Multifactorial Analysis

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the occurrence of urban floods and their conditioning factors is essential for effective management of urban watersheds. However, few studies have explored the spatial variability of these factors in detail. This study investigates the spatial relationships between conditioning factors and flood occurrences in the Tamanduateí ...
