Leaky Sewers Hydraulically Disconnect from Groundwater: A Proof‐of‐Concept

Groundwater, EarlyView.
In this study, we newly demonstrate that leaky pipes can become hydraulically disconnected from the underlying groundwater—a phenomenon analogous to river–groundwater interactions. Through numerical modeling, we show that, as the groundwater table declines, the leakage flux from the pipe (in absolute terms) initially increases until a critical depth ...

Evaluation of impervious surface extraction based on Qimingxing-1 nighttime light and point of interest data

International Journal of Digital Earth
Impervious surface extraction is essential for environmental management and urban studies. Although nighttime light data have been widely used for this purpose, few studies have utilized the high-resolution (21 m) Qimingxing-1 data released in 2022 ...

Super-Resolution Mapping of Impervious Surfaces from Remotely Sensed Imagery with Points-of-Interest

Remote Sensing, 2018
The accurate mapping of impervious surfaces is of key significance for various urban applications. Usually, traditional methods extract the proportion image of impervious surfaces from remote sensing images; however, the proportion image cannot specify ...

Urban peatlands can harbour diverse insect communities but depend on appropriate habitat management

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urban peatlands can support high insect diversity, including endangered species and peat bog specialists. Flower diversity boosts endangered species, while succession cover reduces overall insect richness—but bog condition and urbanization showed no major effects.

Extraction and application of impervious surface area in Yellow River Delta

, 2010
Impervious surfaces as a special factor mainly made by human not only can indicate changes of LUCC and the Urbanization, and is also a good indicator of environmental quality.

Shifts in cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of bees and wasps primarily reflect temperature variations rather than the amount of sealed ground surfaces in an urban landscape

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI) can potentially subject insects to heat and desiccation stress and likely induce shifts in their cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profile. We expected that warmer urbanized areas favour longer chain length of hydrocarbons as well as higher abundance of n‐alkanes in three Hymenoptera species. We found that temperature, more

Afforestation priority for multiple objectives at national scale: Italy as a case study

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation is increasingly recognized as a key strategy to address climate change and ecological degradation, offering multiple ecosystem services. However, strategic planning is needed to ensure that afforestation actions are ecologically effective and economically efficient by targeting areas where ecosystem service provision

Impervious surface extraction with very high resolution imagery in urban areas: reducing tree obscuring effect

, 2012
Impervious surface is an important factor for evaluating the process of urbanization and its rate. In urban areas, there are a large number of street trees obscuring impervious surface, which will cause underestimation of impervious surface if it is ...

Return of the ants: investigating temporal and spatial patterns of ant colonization in unsealed schoolyards

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Urban soil unsealing, the removal of impervious surface layers, is increasingly promoted as a habitat restoration strategy to enhance ecosystem resilience in cities. Yet, its potential to support soil biodiversity from the onset remains underexplored.

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, EarlyView.
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.
