Each living organism thrives best in a habitat that provides optimal conditions for flourishing, reproduction, and distribution within certain area. This study aims to investigate the seasonal variation insect biodiversity across different sites of King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve (KARR), located between E 45.19–46.57 N 25.15–27.41, with focus on assessing biodiversity, density using active passive methods, over period from January November 2023. A total 68 area were randomly selected trap placement. The trapped specimens labeled transferred plastic bottles half filled 70% ethanol then taken laboratory counting identification. Identification was based morphological characteristics appropriate identification keys, assistance entomological expertise, list local species. Simpson’s diversity index (D) also calculated. results revealed that, out 6320 insects, species identified six orders: Blattodea (termites), represented by 2 families species; Coleoptera, comprising 12 38 species, which 11 belonged family Tenebrionidae; Hemiptera, 7 9 3 Lygaeidae; Hymenoptera, 5 15 Formicidae; Lepidoptera, Orthoptera, 4 Acrididae. Insect abundance observed be relatively low during winter (January–March) autumn (October–November) seasons, while higher densities recorded spring (May) summer (August–September).

Abstract Industrial land drives economic growth but also contributes to global warming through carbon dioxide emissions. Still, the variance in its impact on economies and emissions across countries at different development stages is understudied. Here, we used satellite data machine learning map industrial 30 m resolution ten with substantial value-added, analyzed of expansion 216 subnational regions from 2000 2019. We found that was leading factor for developing regions, contributing 31% 55%, respectively. Conversely, developed showed a diminished (8% 3%, respectively), shift towards other drivers like education. Our findings encourage consider adverse effects climate change during prioritize human capital investment over further expansion.

An in-depth comprehension of the spatial–temporal characteristics land-use carbon emissions (LUCE), along with their potential influencing factors, is high scientific significance for realization low-carbon land use and sustainable urban development. Academic investigations pertaining to LUCE predominantly encompass three key dimensions: assessment, optimization, characterization research. This study aimed investigate spatial temporal variations in within Zhejiang Province by analyzing data from 11 cities identifying factors these emissions. research work employed geographically temporally weighted regression (GTWR) model explore patterns variation across each city. The results reveal that (1) changes display two predominant trends, while distribution exhibits a distinct “high northeast low southwest” divergence; (2) average intensity factor follows order economic level > government intervention compactness public facilities greening industrial structure population density; (3) exhibit significant heterogeneity, varying direction effects different at stages integrated dimensions time space, systematically examining evolutionary trends on region. Consequently, it contributes spatiotemporal associated driving mechanisms LUCE. Moreover, offers foundation formulating customized strategies mitigate such emissions, taking into account specific local contexts.

The land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector, as a source sink of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is critical for achieving carbon neutrality. Many academic journals have published papers on use emission or (LUCES), but LUCES reviews are relatively rare, which poses great challenges in accurately understanding the research progress future prospects. This work analyzes characteristics, hotspots perspectives by using bibliometric analysis (such DDA, VOSviewer, CiteSpace software) review based data (6115 scientific papers) during 1991–2023 from Web Science (WoS) platform.
