Large-scale reclamation projects during the past decades have been recognized as one of the driving factors behind land subsidence in coastal areas. However, the pattern of temporal evolution in reclamation settlements has rarely been analyzed. In this work, we study the spatio-temporal evolution pattern of Linggang New City (LNC) in Shanghai, China, using space-borne synthetic aperture radar i...

The temporal distribution of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) was examined in the (210)Pb dated sediment core from the Beibu Gulf, South China Sea. The total OCPs concentrations were in the range of 0.93-26.6 ng g(-1) dry weight. Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) (0.17-24.8 ng g(-1)), Hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) (0.04-0.51 ng g(-1)), Chlordane related compounds (CHLs) (0.22-1.72 ng g(-1...

The formation and evolution of agricultural land uses in the Zhujiang Delta of South China are examined in the light of the dynamics of people and the environment and their interplay. The origin and propagation of agriculture are found to have a close relationship with the climate and sea level changes in the Holocene era. The development of rice cultivation, horticulture, and dike-pond system ...

Increasing population size and economic dependence on the coastal zone, coupled with growing need for residential, agricultural, industrial, commercial green space infrastructure, are key drivers of land reclamation. Until now, there has been no comprehensive assessment global distribution use reclaimed at coast. Here, we analyze Landsat satellite imagery from 2000 to 2020 quantify spatial exte...

Reclamation of salt-affected soil has been identified by the FAO as being critical to meet needs increase agricultural productivity. This paper reviews commonly used reclamation methods for soils, and provides identifiers an effective practice soil. There are widely reduce salinity sodicity including salt leaching, addition amendments, revegetation using halophytes scrapping. Not all techniques...
