As global climate change becomes more severe, forests, as important carbon sinks, are of great significance for mitigating and protecting the ecological environment. The study took typical forest farms in southern China research area, constructed a multi-objective planning model based on Simulated Annealing Algorithm, interfaced with geographic information systems. aim is to achieve long-term scientific rational arrangement management measures balance wood production storage. results confirm that under constraints classification age structure adjustment artificial different optimization scenarios gradually stabilize corresponding logging intensity resources from year 40 onwards. By assigning weights net present value sequestration objective function, this explores impact social preferences spatial allocation schemes management. When weight 100%, current savings greater than those other optimized starting 35th year, at roughly 8.8 × 10 4 m 3 , storage superior 25th 4.9 t. In summary, can provide basis actual decisions, which beneficial improving services, maintaining balance, promoting regional sustainable development.

Basin ecohydrological processes are essential for informing policymaking and social development in response to growing environmental problems. In this paper, we review watershed ecohydrology, focusing on the interaction between ecological hydrological processes. Climate change human activities most important factors influencing water quantity quality, there is a need integrate socioeconomic into paradigm of process studies. Then, propose new framework integrated management. It includes (1) data collection: building an observation network; (2) theoretical basis: attribution analysis; (3) modeling: medium- long-term prediction by human–nature interactions; (4) policy orientation. The paper was potential solution overcome challenges context frequent climate extremes rapid land-use change.

Abstract China has undertaken extensive ecological restoration (ER) projects since the late 1970s in drylands, dominating greening of drylands. The greening, especially ER‐induced, can affect regional water availability and even cause hydrological unsustainability (i.e., lead to a negative shift ecosystem supply demand balances). However, there is still limited research on accurately identifying hydrologically unsustainable areas (GA) China's Here, we developed an supply‐demand indicator, namely, self‐sufficiency (WSS), defined as ratio precipitation. Using remote sensing multisource synthesis data sets combined with trend analysis time series detection, conducted spatially explicit assessment sustainability risk drylands context ER over period 1987–2015. results showed that 17.15% (6.36 × 10 4 km 2 ) GA faced WSS (indicating unsustainability), mainly Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Xinjiang provinces, driven by evapotranspiration. Moreover, 29.34% (1.09 5 GA, whose area roughly double exhibited potential shortage significant decline (−0.014 yr −1 ), concentrated Shaanxi, Gansu provinces. reliability our findings was demonstrated through previous studies at local scale soil moisture changes. Our offer precise grid‐scale identification providing more specific spatial guidance for implementation adaptation

Drylands are often overlooked in broad conservation frameworks and development priorities face increasing threats from human activities. Here we evaluated the formal degree of protection global drylands, their land vertebrate biodiversity current threats, projected human-induced land-use changes to drylands under different future climate change socioeconomic scenarios. Overall, have lower protected-area coverage (12%) compared non-drylands (21%). Consequently, most dryland vertebrates including many endemic narrow-ranging species inadequately protected (0-2% range coverage). Dryland threatened by varied anthropogenic factors-including agricultural infrastructure (that is, artificial structures, surfaces, roads industrial sites). Alarmingly, 2100 experience some conversion 95-100% natural habitat due urban, alternative energy expansion. This loss undisturbed regions is expected across pathways, even optimistic scenarios characterized progressive policies moderate trends.

ABSTRACT To improve the environment and mitigate climate change, China has implemented ambitious projects for natural forest protection expanded planted forests. However, increased variability led to more frequent severe droughts, exacerbating decline of these The drought risk forests is rarely assessed by considering both resistance resilience, comparative analyses between are lacking.

These underscore potential exposure future impacts on under enhanced management strategies, including preservation augmentation structural diversity imperative.
