Coupling Water Purification and Carbon Sequestration at Various Spatial Scales From Supply and Demand Perspective

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing ecosystem‐service supply and demand is central to understanding both the natural and social dimensions of ecosystem services and to enhancing human well‐beings. Concurrently, collaborative efforts are underway to improve multiple ecosystem services, including the promotion of carbon neutrality and water purification (WP) within basin

Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Landsat-MODIS image fusion and object-based image analysis for observing flood inundation in a heterogeneous vegetated scene

open access: yesGIScience & Remote Sensing, 2019
Typhoon flooding normally occurs suddenly with short duration, and the thick cloud cover limits the ability of one single satellite to timely capture the inundation extent.

3D effects of seawater on electrical resistivity tomography near shorelines—Challenges and possible solutions inferred from synthetic and field data

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is one of the most widely used geophysical techniques for hydrogeological questions, such as investigating the groundwater transition zone between land and sea. The interpretation of 2D coast‐parallel ERT profiles is challenging because most of the electrical current flows through the highly conductive ...

Estimation of Fuel Water Content in the Forest Ecotone of Guangzhou Based on the PROSAIL Model

open access: yesRedai dili, 2023
Fuel moisture content (FMC), which is the ratio of equivalent water thickness (EWT) to dry matter content (DMC), plays a crucial role in the estimation of vegetation ignition probability and the fire propagation rate.

Justice in coexistence: Pastoralism and large carnivores on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The conflict between livestock husbandry and large carnivore conservation presents significant challenges in grassland ecosystems worldwide. Achieving sustainable coexistence among herders, livestock and large carnivores requires reconciling diverse perspectives and interests through equitable, inclusive and fair processes that address both ...

“Cold Tropics”: Permafrost Existence and Thickness on Eastern Nevado Coropuna (Southern Peruvian Andes) Revealed by Ground‐Penetrating Radar and Geoelectrical Soundings

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The existence of permafrost was explored at tropical latitude on Nevado Coropuna (southern Peruvian Andes) using a combination of ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) and vertical electrical sounding (VES) in order to strengthen the mutual validation of data processing and interpretation.
