Large land consolidation projects modify the structures and functions of regional ecosystems through reshaping territorial spatial pattern, thereby affecting ecological environmental quality (EEQ). To investigate effects large-scale on EEQ, this study takes major project "bulldoze mountains to create land" (BMCL) in Yan'an City as a research object evaluates change EEQ based Remote Sensing Ecological Index (RSEI). The consolidated area control were set up comparatively analyze processes distribution characteristics these two areas full life cycle BMCL. According results, mean RSEI was 0.128 lower than that area, always area. BMCL had strong negative impact grade especially early stage. However, positive effect gradually emerged late stage large project. overall has also improved. results stepwise regression analysis indicated wetness component normalized differential vegetation index played key roles improving Overall, local strongly affected but would not cause whole region experience any dramatic, abrupt short term.

Timely and objective assessment of the optimal season for construction remote sensing ecological index (RSEI) is great significance accurate effective environment quality. We manipulated RSEI in to monitor seasonal variations quality (EEQ) Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (JJJ) region from 2001 2020. First, we evaluated image across all four seasons filled missing observations through liner interpolation. Second, Seasonal was constructed using MODIS compared different years. Third, temporal spatial within same EEQ. Additionally, Moran's I utilized evaluate autocorrelation EEQ, stability correlation between indicators compared. The results showed that: 1) PC1 component concentrates most characteristics indicators, especially summer (over 71%); 2) Moran' 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016 2020 are 0.909, 0.898, 0.917, 0.921 0.892, respectively, which indicated that EEQ has a strong positive correlation. 3) high years, standard deviation fluctuated slightly summer, std NDVI, WET, LST and, NDBSI were 0.005, 0.052, 0.026 0.017, respectively. This study theoretically demonstrates constructing RSEI, filling research gap previous studies regarding rationale selecting images periods vigorous vegetation growth construction, can provide reference optimum monitoring urban future.

Natural hazards usually cause heavy casualties and vast economic losses, as well severe damage to the ecological environment. Quantitative scientific evaluations of environment quality (EEQ) its recovery trend after can provide valuable insights for disaster risk reductions. This study takes 2010 Ms7.1 Yushu earthquake an example explore spatiotemporal changes driving mechanisms EEQ before using remote sensing GIScience. First, Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data was selected establish based index (RSEI). Then, we analyzed characteristics Yushu's from 2001 2020 explored spatial autocorrelation relationships. Last, mechanism in GeoDetector model. The main conclusions are follows: (1) From perspective RSEI time series, County strongly negatively affected during recovered earthquake. (2) Based on a distribution analysis, it be observed that regions with relatively high primarily concentrated central southern areas. Conversely, northwestern southeastern areas display lower quality. Moreover, has strong correlation clustering, evidenced by Moran's I value exceeding 0.7 over years. (3) results, elevation population were found key factors affecting post-disaster EEQ. interaction between slope plays most critical role process recovery. provides theoretical basis evolution helps decision-makers better balance relationship social development environmental protection management urban planning. It also useful reference guidance future under similar disasters.

Spatiotemporal residual noise in terrestrial earth observation products, often caused by unfavorable atmospheric conditions, impedes their broad applications. Most users prefer to use gap-filled remote sensing products with time series reconstruction (TSR) algorithms. Applying currently available implementations of TSR large-volume datasets is time-consuming and challenging for non-professional limited computation or storage resources. This study introduces a new open-source software package entitled 'HANTS-GEE' that implements well-known robust algorithm, i.e. Harmonic ANalysis Time Series (HANTS), on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform scalable data. Reconstruction tasks can be conducted user-defined spatiotemporal extents when raw are GEE. According site-based regional-based case evaluation, tool effectively eliminate cloud contamination Compared traditional PC-based HANTS implementation, HANTS-GEE provides quite consistent results most vegetated sites. The provide services accelerated processing speed reduced internet data transmission volume, promoting algorithm usage much broader user communities. To our knowledge, first support full-stack popular open-access satellite sensors platforms.

Global mapping of essential vegetation traits (EVTs) through data acquired by Earth-observing satellites provides a spatially explicit way to analyze the current states and dynamics our planet. Although significant efforts have been made, there is still lack global consistently derived multi-temporal trait maps that are cloud-free. Here we present processing chain for spatiotemporally continuous production four EVTs at scale: (1) fraction absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR), (2) leaf area index (LAI), (3) fractional cover (FVC), (4) chlorophyll content (LCC). The proposed workflow presents scalable approach cloud-free EVTs. Hybrid retrieval models, named S3-TOA-GPR-1.0-WS, were implemented into Google Earth Engine (GEE) using Sentinel-3 Ocean Land Color Instrument (OLCI) Level-1B along with associated uncertainty estimates. We used Whittaker smoother (WS) temporal reconstruction EVTs, which led streams, here applied year 2019. Cloud-free produced 5 km spatial resolution 10-day time intervals. consistency plausibility EVT estimates resulting annual profiles evaluated per-pixel intra-annually correlating against corresponding products both MODIS Copernicus Service (CGLS). most consistent results obtained LAI, showed intra-annual correlations an average Pearson correlation coefficient (R) 0.57 CGLS LAI product. Globally, results, specifically obtaining higher than R> 0.5 reference between 30 60° latitude in Northern Hemisphere. Additionally, goodness-of-fit statistics also calculated locally over distinct vegetated land covers. As general trend, covers pronounced phenological high different products. However, sparsely fields as well areas near equator linked smaller seasonality lower correlations. conclude gap-free was overall consistent. Thanks GEE, entire OLCI L1B catalogue can be processed efficiently on scale made WS method. GEE facilitates operationally applicable easily accessible broader community.
