On the basis of oriented field investigation data and corresponding RS and GIS information, and by the method of ridge estimation, this paper studied the estimation model of vegetation coverage and its affecting factors in Yijinholo County of northeast Mu Us sandy land. The results showed that the vegetation coverage was affected by NDVI, and closely linked with such RS and GIS information as, TM7, TM2, TM 4/3 and gradient. Ridge estimation method could obviously improve the limitation of Least Square method, eliminate the adverse effects caused by existing complex estimation relation towards uncoiling undetermined parameter among the variables, and improve the estimate precision. The vegetation coverage estimation model taking pixel as unit was established, and its test precision could reach 98.7%. In addition, a regional vegetation coverage GIS was established, which could realize the inquiry, regeneration, and drawing of any spot (pixel) or any land unit of vegetation coverage automatically.

As one of the provinces with the largest number of national forest cities, all prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province have joined the campaigns of building forest cities. Mastering the spatial and temporal variations of ecological environment quality (EEQ) in Guangdong Province is conducive to the benign interaction and coordinated development of urban construction and ecosystem. We used the water benefit-based ecological index (WBEI) to achieve rapid monitoring of EEQ in Guangdong Province, utilized the standard deviation ellipse and gravity center migration, Theil-Sen Median trend method and Mann-Kendall test to explore the spatial distribution disparities and trends, and analyzed the coupling coordination between EEQ and urbanization.

Revealing the characteristics of vegetation coverage change and the effects of topography on vegetation coverage change in rural areas since the reform and opening up has direct implications for further understanding of human-land coupling processes and resource and environmental changes and provides a reference for ecological environment protection in rural revitalization. Using the Taihua Town in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, as a rural case study, we revealed the basic features of rural vegetation coverage change from 1986 to 2020. Furthermore, using 0.

Alfalfa ( L.) establishment is an effective strategy for grassland reconstruction in degraded ecosystems. However, the mechanisms underlying vegetation succession in reconstructed grasslands following alfalfa establishment remain elusive.

Environmental benefits and risks may be interactively and inequitably distributed across different populations in cities, and these patterns may change over time. Here, we assess the spatial distribution of environmental risks and benefits in pairs, considering synergies and trade-offs, in an illustrative metropolitan area (Metro Vancouver) in Canada in the years 2006 and 2016.

Adequate revegetation of abandoned farmland acts as a defence against desertification and soil loss, and can help remove carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, thereby playing an important role in regulating regional climate change. Legume, a nitrogen-fixation species, which could effectively improve vegetation coverage to control soil erosion, was widely used for revegetation. However, the dynamics of soil and plant development after legume introduction on abandoned farmland remain unclear.
