Urban agglomeration ecosystems are impacted by human activities and natural disasters, so analyzing the spatial temporal evolution of landscape ecological resilience from perspective adaptive cycling is crucial. Using Changsha–Zhuzhou–Xiangtan urban in China as a case study, this research constructs “Risk-Potential-Connectivity” framework to evaluate resilience. This applies exploratory data analysis methods examine spatiotemporal associated patterns Geodetector model measure driving factors variation. study an cycle based on analysis, integrating potential connectivity indices classify development stages regions dynamically. The results showed that overall distribution pattern risk decreased center outward, whereas increased. average index 2000 2020 was 0.31, with declining trend shifting gravity northwest southeast. toughness exhibited high low aggregation, Moran greater than 0.75.

Understanding the characteristics of plant diversity and its relationship with soil environment in urban remnant habitats before after their transformation into parks is great significance for strengthening biodiversity conservation. To investigate changes following natural mountains (URNM) mountain (URMP), we conducted a study area Guiyang City, China. We sampled 90 plots across five typical URNM URMP. Plant properties were evaluated using four taxonomic indices 9 physicochemical properties. The results showed that exhibited higher richer species richness compared to In URNM, survival conditions deteriorate elevation slope position, resulting highest at lower slopes lowest upper slopes. However, intense human disturbances lead opposite pattern Additionally, bulk density, total phosphorus, potassium (TK) found be URMP than URNM. C/N, C/P, organic carbon identified as main factors influencing explanatory rates 20.1%, 15.4%, 8.6%, respectively. URMP, TK was most significant factor, explaining over 55.9% diversity. These findings indicate karst leads simplification composition reduction This process also alters environmental highlight need careful management strategies park development mitigate loss maintain health, which are crucial sustainability ecosystems.

ABSTRACT Urban remnant habitats, which are crucial biodiversity hotspots, facing severe threats from urban expansion and infrastructure development. However, the impact of park utilization on plant diversity in these habitats remains underexplored. This study focused eight mountain parks (URMP) Guiyang City, China, a karst region, comprehensive evaluation system for disturbances was established using 11 indicators across four dimensions. We analyzed responses to different disturbance types intensities, identified dominant factors, explored relationship between habitat patch area diversity. The results indicated that green patches under moderate higher than areas with slight disturbance. Habitat fragmentation tourist capacity were primary factors. Larger associated diversity, showing clear effect patches. Additionally, maintaining URMP had an threshold effect. minimum required maintain varied: 1.5 hm 2 community‐level richness, 1.0 arbor, shrub, herb layers, 0.5 Shannon–Wiener index at all levels Simpson arbor layer. Threshold‐driven management strategies should prioritize core > , implementing visitor flow controls during peak periods, preserving connectivity significantly contributes theoretical understanding interplay offers valuable insights into conservation habitats.
