Ecological restoration, as a component of sustainable development, can mitigate ecosystem degradation and improve ecological diversity. Accurate identification restoration priority areas (ERPAs) is essential for developing practice. However, few studies have considered both reference conditions vulnerability during restoration. In this study, comprehensive framework ERPA was developed by integrating vulnerability. Using the Jialing River Basin (JRB), representative basin Yangtze River, case our results revealed that under average climate conditions, with high values were mostly in eastern southeastern mountainous JRB, whereas potential concentrated central northern southern basin. Additionally, regions found urban scattered along major tributaries. Overall, identified ERPAs predominantly areas, some basin, accounting 9.61% JRB. Consequently, JRB be divided into four targeted management strategies to address implement activities. Moreover, we suggest proposed identifying used clarifying objectives, assessing baseline, offering scientific large-scale efforts.

The framework development for large-scale energy construction zoning and the consideration of geographical potential are critical to achieving carbon neutrality goals. However, previous wind power studies have mostly focused on micro-site selection, rarely quantitatively analyzed response relationship between ecosystem from a macroscopic perspective. This study introduced new explainable artificial intelligence ecological suitability prediction framework, which can serve as link mitigation adaptation measures in global climate change. Twenty indicator layers were incorporated, quantitative evaluation method was used generate twenty raster data subsequent models' input layers. results showed that accuracies XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost CNN 93.36%, 96.50%, 97.17% 97.46% respectively. performed consistently across all categories, while more distinctive very unsuitable suitable categories. analysis found sensitivity desertification distance roads contributed most results, influences socio-economic indicators minimal.

Water resource management is crucial for sustainable agricultural and ecological development, particularly in regions with complex land-use patterns sensitive eco-systems. The Bashang region of Zhangjiakou city, located the agro-pastoral ecotone northern China, an ecologically fragile area that currently undergoing significant land use climate changes. Despite importance understanding interplay between use, change, water conservation, few studies have comprehensively evaluated their combined effects on regional resources.
