The ecological stability of coastal areas is seriously affected by tidal flat reclamation. Understanding the spatial characteristics impact reclamation on stability, as well contribution different use types to change, important for mitigating negative effects In this study, multi-source and multi-temporal remote sensing images were combined quantitatively analyze relationship between in regions area Jiangsu Province, relative change. results showed that: Different forms statistical relationships existed reclaimed non-reclaimed area, respectively, while a significant quadratic function whole index decreased first then increased with increase amount, threshold 1243 km2; buffer zones within intensity decay characteristics; type that has greatest aquaculture land, it arable land. addition, land hydraulic engineering have salt industry positive effects.

Abstract Increasing population size and economic dependence on the coastal zone, coupled with growing need for residential, agricultural, industrial, commercial green space infrastructure, are key drivers of land reclamation. Until now, there has been no comprehensive assessment global distribution use reclaimed at coast. Here, we analyze Landsat satellite imagery from 2000 to 2020 quantify spatial extent, scale, urban reclamation 135 cities populations in excess 1 million. Findings indicate that 78% (106/135) these major have resorted as a source new ground, contributing total 253,000 ha additional Earth's surface 21st century, equivalent an area Luxembourg.

Coastal wetlands provide essential ecosystem goods and services but are extremely vulnerable to sea-level rise, extreme climate, human activities, especially the coastal in large river deltas, which regarded as "natural recorders" of changes estuarine environments. In addition area (loss or gain) quality (degradation improvement) wetlands, information on wetland structure (e.g., patch size number) also major metrics for restoration biodiversity protection, remain very limited China's four deltas. this study, we quantified spatial-temporal dynamics total (TA) number (PN) with different sizes deltas protected areas (PAs) assessed effects driving factors during 1984-2020.

Since 1971, remote sensing techniques have been used to map and monitor phenomena parameters of the coastal zone. However, updated reviews only considered one phenomenon, parameter, data source, platform, or geographic region. No review has offered an overview that can be accurately mapped monitored with data. This systematic was performed achieve this purpose. A total 15,141 papers published from January 2021 June 2023 were identified. The 1475 most cited screened, 502 eligible included. Web Science Scopus databases searched using all possible combinations between two groups keywords: geographical names in areas platforms. demonstrated that, date, many (103) (39) (e.g., coastline land use cover changes, climate change, urban sprawl).

Abstract Enhancing the understanding and management of ecosystem services (ESs) supply demand under influence global change is crucial for sustaining human well‐being promoting sustainable development. However, comprehension changes in service dynamics face complex disturbances remains limited. This study focuses on four representative ESs northern Liaodong Bay, a typical estuary wetland, to elucidate alterations these comprehend impact mechanisms arising from reclamation activities. The findings reveal following key insights: between 1993 2020, water yield disparity became increasingly pronounced, while equilibrium carbon storage shifted surplus balance. In contrast, excess supply–demand food landscape esthetics remained relatively consistent. delves deeper into non‐linear relationship activities relationships, with each exhibiting distinct patterns. As intensity rises, ratio exhibits varying trends: demonstrate an inverted U‐shaped relationship, follows pattern, progressively decline.

Rapid economic development and interference by human activities in rapid urbanization regions have caused great land use/land cover change (LUCC), which significantly affects ecosystem functions services. It is crucial to assess the spatiotemporal evolution of service value (ESV) such regions, especially for Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) China. In this study, we investigated predicted effect LUCC on ESV GBA from 1990 2030 using latest annual 30 m database China, future use simulation (FLUS) model, evaluation approaches. The study period was divided into historical (1990–2015) forecast (2015–2030). results showed that forest cropland were dominant land-use types (>77% GBA), expansion built-up (3822.4 km2) clearest process during 1990–2015. reduction contributed most decrease total ESV. Moreover, confirmed FLUS model effective at predicting GBA. 4962.23 × 100 million yuan 2030s under current mode if regional waterbody reductions are not constrained.
