The thermal conductivity of earth materials is closely related to density and particle size
distribution. However, existing studies on the thermal conductivity of these materials have …

The urban thermal environment undergoes significant influences from changes in land
use/land cover (LULC). This article uses CA-ANN and ANN algorithms to forecast LULC and …

Substantial evidence shows that most of China's terrestrial ecosystems are important carbon
sinks. However, the nonlinear trend of the carbon sinks and their nonlinear response to …

Regional ecological risk assessment (ERA) is an important means towards sustainable
regional development. Yet, existing ERA approaches often fall short of characterizing …

Global warming can affect vegetation growth, while the tempo-spatial responses of
vegetation to climate change remain largely unclear. In this study, we selected China as the …

The growth of vegetation in desert areas is expected to cause considerable changes to the
