ABSTRACT The use of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) analysis is a fundamental requirement for urban solid waste management (SWM); however, conventional LULC analysis methods are not well suited to the spatio‐temporal variability, multi‐sensor heterogeneity, and seasonal variations of highly dynamic urban environments.

Mapping Soil Salinity Prediction Enhanced by Time‐Series Remote Sensing Features
ABSTRACT Gaining timely knowledge of soil salinity's spatiotemporal dynamics is crucial for accurate mapping. Through temporal span comparisons, this study systematically extracts and utilizes time‐series features (TSFs) derived from Sentinel‐2 and Landsat 8 NDVI and SAVI data (2019–2023) to enhance prediction accuracy. Three datasets were constructed:

ABSTRACT Afforestation in the desert–oasis ecotone induces soil desiccation and secondary salinization. However, the seasonal dynamics of soil water–heat–salt interactions across plantations of different stand ages in arid regions remain unclear. Here, we investigated the seasonal patterns and coupled relationships of soil water–heat–salt dynamics in ...

ABSTRACT Urban expansion can substantially reshape ecosystem structure and functioning, especially in ecologically fragile Karst landscapes. Clarifying how ecosystem health (EH) responds to urbanization and identifying the factors that drive spatial variation in EH are important for regional sustainability.
