Multiple ecosystem services landscape index: A tool for multifunctional landscapes conservation
Journal of Environmental Management, 2015 The contribution of ecosystems to human well-being has been widely recognised. Taking into account existing trade-offs between ecosystem services (ES) at the farm scale and the dependence of multiple ES on processes that take place at the landscape scale, long-term preservation of multifunctional landscapes must be a priority.

A landscape index of ecological integrity to inform landscape conservation
Landscape Ecology, 2018 Conservation planning is increasingly using “coarse filters” based on the idea of conserving “nature’s stage”. One such approach is based on ecosystems and the concept of ecological integrity, although myriad ways exist to measure ecological integrity.

Do We Need More Urban Green Space to Alleviate PM2.5 Pollution? A Case Study in Wuhan, China
Land, 2022 Urban green space can help to reduce PM2.5 concentration by absorption and deposition processes. However, few studies have focused on the historical influence of green space on PM2.5 at a fine grid scale.
