Exploring the spatial distribution of land use/cover change (LUCC) and ecosystem carbon storage under future climate scenarios can provide scientific basis for optimizing resource redistribution formulating policies sustainable socioeconomic development. We proposed a framework that integrates patch-generating use simulation (PLUS) model integrated valuation services tradeoffs (InVEST) to asses...

In recent decades, the influence of climate change and human activities on ecosystem services (ES) in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) has been extensively investigated. However, few studies focus linear traffic corridor area, which is heavily affected by activities. Taking Golmud–Lhasa national highway as a case, this study investigated land-use land-cover (LUCC) spatiotemporal variations ES indica...

The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) is widely used for assessing the performance of classification algorithms. In GIScience, ROC has been applied to assess models aimed at predicting events, such as land use/cover change (LUCC), species distribution and disease risk. However, GIS software packages offer few statistical tests and guidance tools for ROC analysis and interpretation. This p...

Land-use/land cover change (LUCC) is an important problem in developing and under-developing countries with regard to global climatic changes urban morphological distribution. Since the 1900s, urbanization has become underlying cause of LUCC, more than 55% world’s population resides cities. The speedy growth, development expansion centers, rapid inhabitant’s land insufficiency, necessity for ma...

For an optimum use of natural resources in the sustainable development trend, there is a need to identify ecological resources in the shortest period of time and minimum possible cost. In this article, we aimed Management ecosystem by Assessment of plant covers changes at Taleghan Township in a twenty year period. Percentage of landscape and number of patch were among the metrics that were calc...

abstract decadal changes in land use/land cover for balachaur watershed in nawanshahar district, punjab, india were studied using black and white aerial photographs for march 1984 on approximately 1:20,000 scale and multidate geocoded false colour composites (fcc) of irs-1d liss-iii on 1:50,000 scale for march 2002, september 2002, and may 2003 and interpreted visually to prepare land use/land ...

Rapid economic development and interference by human activities in rapid urbanization regions have caused great land use/land cover change (LUCC), which significantly affects ecosystem functions services. It is crucial to assess the spatiotemporal evolution of service value (ESV) such regions, especially for Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) China. In this study, we investigated ...

Islands are the confluence of terrestrial ecology and marine ecology. With urban expansion economic development, ecological environment islands is facing serious threats. In order to study island area land use change/cover (LUCC) its impact on ecosystem service value (ESV), this was conducted. This evaluated ESV Zhoushan based LUCC, using equivalent coefficient method, simulated analyzed in 202...
