Construction of ecological security pattern based on InVEST-Conefor-MCRM: A case study of Xinjiang, China

Ecological Indicators, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 159, P. 111647 - 111647

Constructing ecological security patterns (ESP) effectively maintains ecosystems' green, healthy, and sustainable development. The InVEST model Conefor software were utilized in this study to pinpoint sources (eco-sources) through a blend of landscape connectivity the importance ecosystem services (IES); resistance surface was constructed by synthesizing gravity minimum cumulative (MCRM), extracted corridors (eco-corridors) nodes. Ultimately, research built ESP for Xinjiang. findings showed that: (1) 14 eco-sources identified Xinjiang, spanning an area 2.13 × 105 km2; 32 eco-corridors extracted, including 9 important 23 general eco-corridors, comprising total length 1.26 104 km; 46 nodes(eco-nodes); (2) size more patches Xinjiang 2.82 km2, which accounted relatively small size, value generally average. overall level primary high, but spatial distribution uneven; (3) values vary significantly, with high-level surfaces primarily located Junggar Basin Tarim low-level covering most Xinjiang's natural reserves other areas. study's can provide some references constructing at provincial scale arid semiarid regions planning restoration

China’s nature-based solutions in the Global South: Evidence from Asia, Africa, and Latin America

Global Environmental Change, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 86, P. 102842 - 102842

Published: April 13, 2024

China increasingly engages in environmental diplomacy through South-South cooperation across the developing world. Since 2019, rise of discourse Nature-based Solutions (NbS) within this has been exponential. Coined just over ten years ago, NbS refers to underexplored potential leveraging natural world address socio-environmental challenges. The concept finds particular resonance China, where it demonstrates strong parallels with domestically-pioneered Ecological Civilization – ruling paradigm when comes all realms Chinese governance. Building on global discourse, adapted context, creating what some call "Chinese-style" that prioritizes large-scale interventions and ecological engineering grassroots preservation. China's are not only being pursued domestically, but also abroad country's Belt Road Initiative. From Southeast Central Asia Africa Latin America, article surveys Chinese-led or financed projects fall under broad umbrella NbS. We provide a comparative analysis these conspicuous lack such show current status future prospects for growing sphere influence advancing Global South. find embrace is directly related serve as tool helping vision an "go global." consonance between rhetoric Civilization, combined reach NbS, provides powerful platform taking level.
