Extensive Green Roofs (EGRs) are nature-based solutions that provide several environmental, health, social, and economic benefits. This review of about 1430 scientific papers, based on the five Ws, When, Where, Why, Who, Which, aims to understand how interest in these important green infrastructures originated developed, as well nature such academic research. Special attention was paid way researchers approached plant selection. Furthermore, this made a detailed quantitative evaluation growth for within literature, which began mainly Europe around middle last century before spreading America Asia, growing rapidly during recent decades. The main impulse behind study EGRs came from fields engineering architecture, especially themes thermal mitigation runoff reduction. In decreasing order, we found categories aimed at ecological environmental issues, substrate, pollution We also little evidence collaboration between different disciplines, with result botanical features generally receive attention. Despite benefits plants, not enough has been given them their selection often limited Sedum species.

Climate change is extensively affecting the global ecosystem, especially ecosystem carbon sequestration and potential, which are issues of concern. The proposed concept "carbon neutrality" in 2020 has brought ecological to forefront. Therefore, research on climate need be systematically reviewed, summarized, examined. Based Web Science database, this paper analyzed 4005 articles (1992–2022 year) after rigorous screening via a bibliometrics analysis then presented trends future focus sequestration. following conclusions drawn: (1) over last 30 years steadily improved, annual number publications increased cubic polynomial fashion (R2 = 0.9937), with 87.57 % total appearing 2009.

Most focuses change, sequestration, management, land-use changes, nitrogen soil organic carbon; (4) although traditional evaluation techniques were essential early on, remote sensing modeling have become primary methods for assessment; (5) keyword clustering allows classification into six relatively independent subtopics: terrestrial ecosystems, organic-carbon, services, cycling, biomass forest, blue carbon, provides reference further neutrality.

Abstract Mountain treelines are thought to be sensitive climate change. However, how impacts mountain is not yet fully understood as may also affected by other human activities. Here, we focus on “closed‐loop” (CLMT) that completely encircle a and less likely have been influenced land‐use We detect total length of ~916,425 km CLMT across 243 ranges globally reveal bimodal latitudinal distribution treeline elevations with higher occurring at greater distances from the coast. Spatially, find temperature main climatic driver elevation in boreal tropical regions, whereas precipitation drives position temperate zones. Temporally, show 70% moved upward, mean shift rate 1.2 m/year over first decade 21st century. shifting fastest tropics (mean 3.1 m/year), but variability.

Climate change has emerged as one of the major threats to biodiversity and Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) is facing challenges due a higher rate elevation dependent warming erratic rainfall. The rich bounty ecosystem services provided by this ‘water tower’ ‘Third Pole’ are under risk. Though there scattered sectoral knowledge available, comprehensive understanding on climate its impact lacking in HKH. To fill gap, systematic literature review using search, appraisal, synthesis, analysis (SALSA) was undertaken look at temporal spatial trends research focusing impacts services. increasing trend evolution from multidisciplinarity approach with focus suggested strong influence regional priority global discourse.

Introduction Biodiversity underpins resilient ecosystems that sustain life. Despite international conservation efforts, biodiversity is still declining due to ongoing anthropogenic threats. Protected areas have been widely adopted as a strategy for conserving biodiversity. The use of spatial planning, which prioritizes protection based on geo-referenced and ecological information well cost action their feasibility, has gained popularity in the discipline last few decades. However, there remain gaps between plans implementation, negative social impacts local communities can occur, such tension conflict differing priorities, perspectives, views. Methods To better understand state field support translating research into practice, mixed-method approach bibliometric (n=4133 documents) content analysis (n=2456 was used analyze identify key collaborative networks, geographic thematic patterns. Results We identified conducted by westernized nations dominated field, with United States, Kingdom, Australia being responsible almost two-thirds globally, interest exponentially growing since 2010. Additionally, while some refinement over time algorithms models, Zonation Marxan methods developed 2000s predominant choices software, majority focus marine ecosystems, birds, mammals. found major gap dimensions case studies (only n=146; 6%). Discussion This highlights lack collaboration science researchers who are affected management decisions. recommend including spatially explicit from onset projects through participatory approaches, along acknowledgement importance diverse views planning enhance implementation outcomes relevant contexts. suggest an increased reflection types data but also researchers’ personal values, biases, positionality encourage more ethical, applicable, science.

Abstract Regarded as the third pole of Earth, Tibetan Plateau (TP) is a region with complex terrain. Vegetation widely distributed in southeastern part plateau. However, land use and cover changes (LULCC) on TP have not been sufficiently studied. In this study, we propose method studying dynamic TP. Landsat OLI images (2013 2015) were selected to extract LULCC information Nyingchi County, DEM was used objects’ curved surface area analyze their three-dimensional change information, which realized four-dimensional monitoring forestry time spatial level. The results showed that forest 2015 decreased by 7.25%, coniferous areas 25.14%, broad-leaved increased 12.65%, shrubbery 14.62%. Compared traditional detection methods, no longer focused two-dimensional space, helps determine distribution. Thus, can be observed. This study provides scientific support for vegetation restoration natural resource management
