Exploring the evolution of urban elements can improve understanding of the developmental process of city and drive such development into a better direction. However, the non-linearity and complexity of changes in urban elements have brought great challenges to understanding this process. In this paper, we propose a cross-diffusion partial differential equation based on ecological dynamics to simulate the evolutionary process of urban elements from the microscopic viewpoint. The interaction between urban elements is simulated by constructing a non-linear and spatiotemporal change equation, and the main influence between elements is evaluated by the key parameters in the discussed equation. Our model is first experimented to time-series data on population density and housing prices to analyzes the interaction of these two elements in the evolution process. We then extend the model to label data, land cover data, to obtain a quantitative expression of the interaction between different land types in the process of urban land cover change.

Influenced by urban expansion, population growth, and various socio-economic activities, land use in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) area has undergone prominent changes. Modifications in land use have resulted in adjustments to ecological structures, leading to subsequent fluctuations in carbon storage. This study focuses on YRD region and analyzes the characteristics of land use changes in the area using land use data from 2000 to 2020, with a 10-year interval.

Land use change from wildlands to urban and productive environments can dramatically transform ecosystem structure and processes. Despite their structural and functional differences from wildlands, human-modified environments offer unique habitat elements for wildlife. In this study, we examined how migratory birds use urban, productive, and wildland environments of a highly anthropized region of Western Mexico known as "El Bajío".

Experimental studies of chronic noise exposure in modern urban life testified about oxidative stress due to the corresponding hormones effects leading to accumulation of reactive oxygen species and endothelial dysfunction. This study aims to evaluate the protective effect of α2-adrenoblockers to modulate oxidative stress and corticosterone levels due to chronic noise exposure. To achieve this, we examined the effects of beditin (2-aminothiozolyl-1,4-benzodioxane) and mesedin (2-(2-methyl-amino-thiozolyl)-1,4-benzodioxane hydrochloride), along with changes in corticosterone, Ca2 + content, and morphological alterations in various tissues under noise-induced stress.

Urbanization and infrastructure projects generate huge amount of construction and demolition waste (CDW), posing significant challenges for the environment and human health. In order to reduce the environment and safety risks caused by the CDW landfills, this study was amid to utilize plant roots to develop a root-CDW-soil system for strengthening the CDW and enhancing the slope stability of CDW landfills. A series of experimental analyses were conducted, focusing on shear tests of root-soil composites under various moisture conditions and root content ratios.

There is concern over potential toxic elements (PTEs) impacting river ecosystems due to human and industrial activities. The river's water, sediment, and aquatic life are all severely affected by the release of chemical and urban waste. PTE concentrations in sediment, water, and aquatic species from river ecosystems are reported in this review.
