Nature-based solutions (NBS) for hydro-meteorological risks (HMRs) reduction and management are becoming increasingly popular, but challenges such as the lack of well-recognised standard methodologies to evaluate their performance upscale implementation remain. We systematically current state-of-the art on models tools that utilised optimum allocation, design efficiency evaluation NBS five HMRs (flooding, droughts, heatwaves, landslides, storm surges coastal erosion). found methods assess complex issue cost-benefits analysis still in development stage they have only been implemented through developed other purposes fluid dynamics micro catchment scale contexts.

Construction and optimization of ecological security pattern in Ebinur Lake Basin based on MSPA-MCR models

Ecological Indicators, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 138, С. 108857 - 108857

Опубликована: Апрель 13, 2022

The ecological environment of inland river basins in arid zones is extremely fragile, and even small changes the ecosystem may greatly influence protection basin. Most previous studies on construction optimization safety patterns, directly used large areas water, grassland, woodland as source sites without considering connectivity between landscapes. In this study, landscape index probability values were to determine areas, taking into account. Ebinur lake basin an important barrier northwest China. Taking a research object, results show that: (1) there are 20 sources Lake basin, mainly water forest-grassland including two waters Sayram Lake; (2) 190 corridors estimated by minimum cumulative resistance model, 59 level 1 located western part Lake, 70 2 also gravity model after removing redundant corridors. (3) Based hotspot spatial directional analyses habitat quality, security pattern 'four belts' was constructed. This can provide reference for restoration zone.

Spatio-temporal dynamics of ecological security pattern of the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration based on LUCC simulation

Ecological Indicators, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 114, С. 106319 - 106319

In the past four decades, China has achieved tremendous economic success, but it also faced serious ecological security (ES) problems. The land use/cover change (LUCC) plays a decisive role in issue of ES. LUCC and ES evaluation were combined by predicting use simulating pattern. Taking Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration (PRD) as study area, temporal changes predicted CA-Markov model, pattern three different scenarios 2025 was simulated. Based on Pressure-State-Response (PSR) PRD 2005, 2010 2015 carried out, safety level dropped from 75.39% to 66.67% this period. Spatial autocorrelation analysis performed GeoDA reflect dynamic PRD, which suggested that there is greater heterogeneity within homogenous sub-region continues increase. Through transition probability among types, set: Inertial development, Over expansion, Ecological protection scenario, showed expansion construction (accounting for 18.58%, 20.12% 17.93% respectively) must occupy agricultural forest lands lead decrease level, are accounting 79.07%, 78.30% 79.95% respectively. described, central with high urbanization have relative low ES, periphery sub-regions good order more than 63.59% less 4.06% unsafety Dongguan Zhaoqing respectively, both representative city these two sub-regions. spatial-temporal optimized proposed, eco-functional zones determined: conservation zone, living environment guarantee zone restoration zone. defined leading functions each could gradually improve integrity connectivity entire ecosystem provides valuable knowledge understanding planning regional management.

Heat Waves: Physical Understanding and Scientific Challenges

Reviews of Geophysics, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 61(2)

Опубликована: Апрель 26, 2023

Abstract Heat waves (HWs) can cause large socioeconomic and environmental impacts. The observed increases in their frequency, intensity duration are projected to continue with global warming. This review synthesizes the state of knowledge scientific challenges. It discusses different aspects related definition, triggering mechanisms, changes future projections HWs, as well emerging research lines on subseasonal forecasts specific types HWs. We also identify gaps that limit progress delineate priorities for research. Overall, physical drivers HWs not understood, partly due difficulties quantification interactions responses climate change. Influential factors convey processes at spatio‐temporal scales, from warming large‐scale atmospheric circulation regional local affected area upwind regions. Although some thermodynamic have been identified, there is a lack understanding dynamical aspects, forcings feedbacks, changes. hampers attribution trends individual events, reduces ability provide accurate projections. Sustained observational networks, models diverse complexity, narrative‐based methodological approaches artificial intelligence offer new opportunities toward process‐based interdisciplinary
