Spatiotemporal Evolution and Planning Optimisation of Green Infrastructure Networks in Shanghai: A Resilience-Informed Patch-Corridor-Connectivity Assessment

open access: yesLand
Rapid urbanisation has reshaped Shanghai’s ecological land base and intensified fragmentation of its green infrastructure (GI). This study evaluates the spatiotemporal evolution of Shanghai’s GI network from 2000 to 2020 using a resilience-informed patch-

Quantifying landscape fragmentation and forest carbon dynamics over 35 years in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest (AF) covers 13% of Brazil but retains only 26% of its original forest area. Utilizing a Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA), we generated 30 m spatial resolution fragmentation maps for old-growth and secondary ...

Spatial Externalities in Agriculture: Empirical Analysis, Statistical Identification, and Policy Implications [PDF]

open access: yes
Spatial externalities can affect economic welfare and landscape pattern by linking farm returns on adjoining parcels of land. While policy can be informed by research that documents spatial externalities, statistically quantifying the presence of ...
