Spatiotemporal Evolution of Wetland Eco-Hydrological Connectivity in the Poyang Lake Area Based on Long Time-Series Remote Sensing Images

Remote Sensing, 2021
Hydrological connectivity is important for maintaining the stability and function of wetland ecosystems. Small-scale hydrological connectivity restricts large-scale hydrological cycle processes.

Innovative Double‐Layer Fabrics of Polyimide/Wool: Air Cavity Design for Enhanced Protection and Comfort

Advances in Polymer Technology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Although air layers are known to improve thermal protection, the influence of engineered air‐cavity volume in double‐layer polyimide/wool fabrics on the combined flame‐retardant, thermal‐insulating, and comfort performance remains poorly understood. This study addresses this gap by systematically designing hexagonal air‐cavity structures through the ...

Identification of Ecological Corridors for Semi‐Aquatic Vertebrates: A Case of the Eurasian Otter in Northeast China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study employed species distribution models and corridor construction models to predict the distribution range of suitable habitats and identify the ecological corridors and key points for the Eurasian otter in Northeast China. There were 39 core habitats, 42 ecological corridors, 78 pinch points and 19 barrier points identified. Among these, 11.92%

Systematic Literature Review and Meta‐Analysis of Landscape‐Scale Green Infrastructure Identification

Sustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue S1, Page 475-500, November 2025.
ABSTRACT As an early concept in Green Infrastructure (GI) research, landscape‐scale GI (LGI) has faced challenges due to its large spatial scale, limiting its application compared to smaller‐scale GI. However, its efficiency and multifunctionality in supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are gaining attention.

Understanding the Relationship Between Urban Green Infrastructure and PM2.5 Based on an Explainable Machine Learning Model: Evidence From 288 Cities in China

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Urban green infrastructure (UGI) is critical for mitigating fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution, a major obstacle to sustainable urban development. However, the morphological spatial patterns of UGI and their impact on PM2.5 remain largely unexplored, as most related studies have focused solely on case studies.

Forest Fragmentation in Massachusetts, USA: A Town-Level Assessment Using Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis and Affinity Propagation [PDF]

, 2016
Forest fragmentation has been studied extensively with respect to biodiversity loss, disruption of ecosystem services, and edge effects although the relationship between forest fragmentation and human activities is still not well understood.
