AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines ecological quality changes in Guiyang from 1991 to 2020 using Landsat satellite images, revealing a mostly medium to good ecological quality with variations over time.
- It highlights that the ecological index peaked in 2020 and dropped to its lowest in 2010, with significant trends of improvement over the past decade, particularly from northeast to southwest.
- The analysis found that land use, nighttime lighting, slope, and population density significantly influenced ecological quality, with variations in results depending on the classification and sampling methods used.
Article Abstract
Exploring the trend of long time-series ecological quality evolution and spatial differentiation of influencing factors in Guiyang is of great significance for realizing regional ecological protection and high-quality development strategies. Based on the 7-period Landsat remote sensing images from 1991 to 2020, the remote sensing ecological index （RSEI） of Guiyang from 1991 to 2020 was calculated using the GEE remote sensing big data platform, and a geodetector, Hurst index, and coefficient of variation with different random sampling quantities and classification strategies were used to analyze the evolutionary pattern of ecological quality, change trends, and spatial differentiation influencing factors. The results showed that ① The ecological quality of Guiyang in the past 30 years was mainly medium and good, showing a wave-like pattern of change, with the highest and lowest values occurring in 2020 （mean value 0.58） and 2010 （mean value 0.47）, respectively, and the overall trend of the RSEI in the past ten years was good, with a spatial trend of decreasing distribution from the northeast to the southwest. ② The domain of values of the coefficient of variation for the RSEI in Guiyang was in the range of （0-2）, of which 46.61% of the area was in high fluctuation change, and the overall volatility of the RSEI was large； the mean value of the Hurst index was 0.59, and the area greater than 0.5 accounted for 73.98%, most of which showed weak persistence, and the future trend of change was the same as that of the past 30 years. ③ Different classification methods and random samples affect the -value results of the geodetector, but the trend of the size ordering of the explanatory power of different factors was generally consistent. Land use, nighttime lighting index, slope, and population density indicators had stronger explanatory power for RSEI spatial differentiation； factor interaction detection was two-factor enhancement and nonlinear enhancement； and the interaction between land use and other factors was most favorable for explaining RSEI spatial differentiation.

Background: The accurate deciphering of spatial domains, along with the identification of differentially expressed genes and the inference of cellular trajectory based on spatial transcriptomic (ST) data, holds significant potential for enhancing our understanding of tissue organization and biological functions. However, most of spatial clustering methods can neither decipher complex structures in ST data nor entirely employ features embedded in different layers.
Results: This article introduces STMSGAL, a novel framework for analyzing ST data by incorporating graph attention autoencoder and multiscale deep subspace clustering.

Karst ecosystems often contain extraordinary biodiversity, but the complex underground aquifers of karst regions present challenges for assessing and conserving stygobiont diversity and investigating their evolutionary history. We examined the karst-obligate salamanders of the species complex in the Edwards Plateau region of central Texas using population genomics data to address questions about population connectivity and the potential for gene exchange within the underlying aquifer system. The species complex has historically been divided into three nominal species, but their status, and spatial extent of species ranges, have remained uncertain.

Assessing soil quality is imperative to diagnose soil functioning and recognize inappropriate soil managements. However, the absence of defined indicators and their scoring methods and lack of universally accepted soil quality indexing frameworks complicate soil quality assessment, given soil systems complexity and diversity caused by variation in soil formation factors. This study was aimed to assess soil quality of three land use managements (CL, cropland; GR, grassland; SL, shrubland) in Northern Ethiopia, using two data sets (Total data set (TDS) and minimum data set (MDS)), linear and non-linear indicator transformation techniques and three indexing scenarios (Additive (SQI), nemoro (SQI) and weighted additive (SQI)).

This paper deals with the numerical investigation of a singularly perturbed parabolic differential-difference equation with a time lag. The proposed method comprises the method ( ) and the non-standard finite difference methods for temporal and spatial variable discretization, respectively. Besides, the Richardson extrapolation technique is employed to boost the accuracy and order of convergence of the scheme.
