This paper studied the spatiotemporal variations of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in Zhejiang Province in 1982-2006, and their relations to the dominant eco-climatic factors in the Province. In the study period, the vegetation cover in the Province had a slowly decreasing trend, and the area with a significant decrease of NDVI occupied 30.71% of the total. There were significant relationships between the eco-climatic indices and the NDVI of the following year. The NDVI was significantly positively correlated with biological aridity/humidity index, and significantly negatively correlated with biological warmth index, suggesting that the increase of humidity could promote vegetation growth, while excessive heat could inhibit the vegetation growth in the study area.

This paper presents a deep learning model based on an active learning strategy. The model achieves accurate identification of vegetation types in the study area by utilizing multispectral data obtained from preprocessing of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing equipment. This approach offers advantages such as high data accuracy, mobility, and easy data collection.

Ecological Corridors (ECs) are proposed as cost-effective solutions to improve ecological connectivity in fragmented landscapes. Planning the implementation of ECs must take into account landscape features as they affect the viability of the endeavor and the ECs associated costs. A novel set of geoprocessing tools were used to assess (i) economic viability; (ii) socioeconomic cost-effectiveness; and (iii) to determine priority targets for ECs establishment in a highly fragmented region of Atlantic Forest.

Accurately analyzing the type of land use and change characteristics of disaster damage in landslide areas is of great significance to scientifically promote the optimization of regional land use pattern and disaster prevention and mitigation. We analyzed the characteristic parameters of landslides as well as the characteristics and driving factors of land use change from 1985 to 2020 in Tongwei County, Gansu Province, using ALOS DEM data and 1985-2020 land use data, GIS spatial analysis, land-use dynamic attitude, transfer matrix, and Geodetector. The results showed that a total of 1012 landslide samples were identified, characterized by medium elevation, gentle gradient, low elevation difference, short length, and small size.

Objective: Scientific justification of the methodology for calculating radiation internal doses from 137Cs and 134Cs intake for residents of Ukrainian settlements radioactively contaminated as a result of the Chornobyl (Chernobyl) accident in which measurements of incorporated radiocesium isotopes in humans using whole-body counters (WBC) were not carried out.

Materials And Methods: The paper presents a new methodology for reconstructing doses due to internal irradiation from Chornobyl fallout for both surface (in 1986) and root (in 1987-2023) contamination of vegetation with 137Cs and 134Cs and their transfer into the human body. The methodology for calculating the dose due to surface contamination of vegetation was based on the theoretical model of the transfer of radiocesium isotopes through the food chain with further adjustment of this model to the results of WBC measurements carried out between 15 July and 31 December 1986.
