Plant communities in urban wetland parks (UWP) have significant eco-healthcare benefits terms of regulating the climate and improving human living environment. However, factors influencing regulation are unclear. Taking Huaxi Ten Mile Beach National Urban Wetland Park as an example, park comprehensive healthcare index (UPCHI) was constructed based on outdoor survey indoor analysis to evaluate UWP’s benefits. Pathway used investigate how climatic, geographic, plant interact affect UPCHI. The results show that, over whole year, tree–shrub–herb showed best performance reducing PM2.5, PM10, noise, well raising negative air ion concentrations; however, comfort performed worst.

Globally, land use change has consistently resulted in greater losses than gains aboveground biomass (AGB). Forest fragmentation is a primary driver of biodiversity loss and the depletion natural capital. Measuring landscape characteristics analyzing changes forest patterns are essential for accounting contributions ecosystems to economy human well-being. This study predicts national distribution 2036 2054 using Cellular Automata (CA) system assesses ecosystem conditions through metrics at patch, class, levels. We calculated 130 applied Variance Threshold method remove features with low variance, testing different thresholds. The first filtered-out were further analysed Principal Component Analysis combined Feature Importance technique select rank top 10 indicators: effective mesh size, splitting index, mean radius gyration, largest patch core area, area percentage, Simpson's evenness mutual information, diversity contiguity index. eleventh selected indicator AGB density, structural measurement condition proxy carbon storage sequestration assessments. From 2000 2018, stock decreased from 131.5 91.3 Megatons (Mt) expected values being 71.8 55.3 Mt., respectively. Landscape measurements quantitatively describe dynamics, providing insights into structure, configuration, characterizing evolution. research underscores capability CA models map large-scale resources predict future development scenarios, offering useful information conservation environmental management decisions. Additionally, it provides support Ecosystem Accounting by assessing extent indicators its conditions.

Previous studies of vegetation dynamics in the Yellow River Delta (YRD) predominantly relied on sparse time series or coarse-resolution images, which not only overlooked rapid and spatially heterogeneous changes, but also limited our understanding driving mechanisms. Here, employing spatiotemporal data fusion methods, we constructed a novel fused enhanced index (EVI) dataset with high resolution (30-meter 8-day resolution) for YRD from 2000 to 2020, analyzed variations their factors within outside Nation Natural Reserve (YRDNRR). The EVI effectively captured dynamics. Notably, YRDNRR core area, showed no significant trend before 2010, while increase emerged post-2010, an annual growth 7%, invasion Spartina alterniflora explained 78% this increment. In experimental exhibited distinct interannual trend, was characterized by initial (2000–2006, p < 0.01), followed subsequent decrease (2006–2011, 0.01) and, ultimately, renewed (2011–2020, > 0.05); were mainly affected spring runoff (R2 = 0.71), years lower runoff, it precipitation 0.70). Outside protected demonstrated substantial 2010 due agricultural land expansion human management practices, stabilization post-2010. These findings enhance comprehension intricate YRD, holding relevance terms wetland preservation management.
