    Abstract The Huang-Huai-Hai Plain is one of the typical agri-ecosystems in China, which suffers from cold damage frequently resulting in substantial economic losses. In order to monitor the changes in the occurrence of cold damage in an effective and large-scale manner, and to determine their meteorological causes, this paper collected low temperature data from the agricultural meteorological stations and remote sensing data of MODIS from 2005 to 2015, and constructed a monitoring model of cold damage to winter wheat in Huang-Huai-Hai Plain based on the Logistic regression model. This model was used to analyze the spatio-temporal changes of cold damage of winter wheat in Huang-Huai-Hai Plain from 2011 to 2020, and correlation analysis was performed with the spatio-temporal changes of meteorological factors to ascertain how they affect cold damage. The results show that the harm from cold damage in winter wheat has been gradually decreasing from 2011 to 2020, and the cold damage areas with high probability and high frequency are moving from north to south. The meteorological elements with the greatest impacts on the degree of cold damage from stronger to weaker are heat, precipitation and sunshine duration, whose influence has spatial variability.

    Abstract Agricultural nonpoint-source pollution (ANPSP) is a key cause of global environmental problems. However, the estimation of ANPSP, based on agricultural land use type, crop management, and attenuation of pollutants with distance, is lacking. Using the Mun River Basin as an example, this study established quantitative response relationships between subbasin flows and hydrological and water quality parameters. A good matching of the monitored sections and the control area based on flow relationships was achieved. By determining flow paths and flow distances, the overland and in-river transport attenuations of ANPSP were clarified. The overland and in-river transport and attenuation parameters were also quantified. The land use distribution and structure were further refined through crop management, which included crop types and crop rotation (monocropping or double cropping). Based on the above procedures, quantitative relationships among land use pattern, crop management, attenuation of pollutants with distance, and river water quality were established and used to construct six kinds of regression models. Among these models, the best modeling results were obtained when the parameters of water quality, land use structure, crop management, and soil nutrient attenuation were included. The modeling accuracy in the dry season increased from 0.398 to 0.881 when information about attenuation with distance and crop management was included. Similarly, the modeling accuracy in the wet season increased from 0.365 to 0.727. This study’s findings indicate that the constructed water quality model is effective and has significance for the quantitative determination of ANPSP.

    Abstract The Mun River Basin is one of Thailand’s major grain-producing areas, but the production is insufficient, and most of the cultivated lands are rain-fed and always unused in the dry season. All this makes it necessary to determine the status of soil nutrients and soil quality in the dry season to improve soil conditions, which will be useful for cultivation in the farming period. The aim of this study was to construct a soil-quality assessment based on soil samples, and in the process the minimum data set theory was introduced to screen the assessment indicators. The geographically weighted regression method was used to complete the spatial interpolation process of indicators, and the fuzzy logic model was constructed to evaluate the soil quality. The results showed that the spatial distributions of soil quality and indicators were similar. The soil quality was the best in the upstream while poor in the downstream, and the dry fields in the west and the forests in the east of the basin were better than other areas nearby. However; the soil qualities of paddy fields in the middle and east of the basin were poor due to the lack of soil nutrient supply when the fields were unused

    Abstract To explore the spatial heterogeneity of nitrogen supply from human activities to soil in coastal areas, we established a soil nitrogen net replenishment index (A-SNNRI). We applied the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model for soil loss risk calculation and geostatistical analysis for process simulation. A case study in the Yellow River Delta (YRD) showed that the A-SNNRI worked well. During the summer crop-growing season, population and land use presented significant influences on the soil total nitrogen (STN) status. Urban villages and arable land both had the largest summary STN and variety. There was a negative correlation between STN change and soil loss. The east coast held both the largest A-SNNRIs and soil loss risks. There were significant positive correlations between A-SNNRIs and population and GDP. Therefore, to control and reduce soil-source nitrogen exports in the YRD, we need to reduce nitrogen emissions from urban villages, agriculture, industry, and aquaculture and determine the main risk locations along the east coast and in the main city.

    Abstract The spatial and temporal characteristics and driving factors analysis of regional land use are the core scientific problems in the research of ecological environment and human sustainable development. It is also an important basis for the government to formulate land management policy. Based on the land use maps of 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015, this article analyzed the spatiotemporal pattern of land use change in Tianjin, and determined the relative importance of each driving factor of land use change. The main features of land use change were the continuous expansion of built-up land (1386.89 km2/74.73% gains) and the decrease of arable land area (1181.60 km2/16.84% losses). The area and intensity of land use change were not completely consistent, such as Wuqing and Jixian. The hotspots of land use change mainly were located in the main urban region in Tianjin, around the suburban settlements and Binhai New Area. The landscape pattern in the research region has also changed significantly. The Largest patch index (LPI) and largest shape index (LSI) of arable land showed an increasing trend, and the degree of landscape fragmentation of arable land was deepened. The trend of landscape index of built-up land was similar to that of arable land, but the change intensity was more severe. In addition, the article also used the stepwise regression analysis in the multiple regression to analyze the relative importance of various driving factors, indicating that the driving factors of the built-up land and arable land change were obviously different in different periods. Government policies also have a significant impact on land use change, such as establishing the Tianjin Binhai New Area (TBNA).

    Abstract A band selection model was described for efficient and accurate remotely-sensed vegetation mapping in cloudy mixed-vegetation areas, demonstrated with an application on mapping mangroves in Southeast Asia (SE Asia). We show how to use multi-source satellite imagery and Cloud Computing Platforms to improve mapping and computational efficiency in complex environments. A key element of the method relies upon field surveys to establish a detailed sample database that includes easily-confused land cover. The Maximal Separability and Information (MSI) model was developed to select key bands for target land cover classification from multiple satellite imagery based on two principles: 1. maximize separability of the target cover from other land cover; and 2. maximize and prioritize information from band combinations. Application of the MSI model to map mangroves in SE Asia using three optical and SAR data systems (Landsat OLI, Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1) showed: 1. Sentinel-2 is better at classifying mangrove than Landsat and Sentinel-1; and 2. SWIR, NIR and Red bands (with SWIR in particular) are effective in separating mangrove from other vegetation. The MSI-mapped mangroves showed lower computation cost compared to using all bands from individual satellites, and higher accuracy (above 90%) when applied to SE Asia. It was robust in tolerating smaller sample sizes, thereby demonstrating computational feasibility and substantial improvements with the MSI model for large-scale land cover mapping in complex environments.

    Abstract Because of a decrease in water provision from the Yellow River and the influence of various human actions, the Shandong Yellow River Delta Wetland, selected a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance in 2013, has undergone substantial degradation. Although some restoration work has been undertaken, more adaptive active restoration strategies should be developed based on researches on spontaneous revegetation in this region. In this regard, the quasi-circular vegetation patches (QVPs), characterized by a rapid rate of succession, are thus considered as ideal research targets. The spatial and temporal quantification of QVPs is not only fundamental to determining QVP formation mechanism but also contributes to the development of adaptive restoration strategies for the degraded ecosystems. Therefore, we examined QVP dynamics over seven time periods spanning 22 years using one aerial photograph and seven high-spatial resolution satellite images. We found that although the total number of QVPs remained almost unchanged, the total area had an increasing trend, and that the shape index (SIi=Peremeteri2πAreai) of QVPs tended to initially increase and subsequently decrease, with QVPs finally attaining an almost circular shape. Observations for the period between 2000 and 2016 indicated that the area and shape of QVPs could reach maximum extents within about three years. This knowledge could provide a valuable basis for studying the interactions of QVPs with environment, and the implications/consequences to ecosystems, e.g., mechanisms of the evolution of ecosystems, ecological services etc. We accordingly suggest that developing a long-term remote sensing monitoring and ground-based survey program would make a significant contribution to developing a nature-based solution for the degraded ecosystems in the Yellow River Delta, China.

    Abstract The Mun River in NE Thailand is one of the significant tributaries of the Lower Mekong River. Its poor river quality has been reported and agricultural activities were claimed to be major causes. This study aims to assess the best management measures appropriately responsive to the nutrient pollution in the Mun River Basin’s agricultural ecosystems. The data used for the analysis were acquired from field measurements during the 2018 wet season via satellite retrieval and secondary data collection. Linkages between land-soil datasets and hydro-water quality datasets were assessed through a canonical correlation analysis. The results suggest possible conservation measures with crop yield improvement and fertiliser cost reduction in the western basin. For the southern basin, which exhibits high sediment loading, integrated conservation measures for soil loss reduction with in-stream flow deceleration should be chosen. In the eastern basin, woody buffer strips and check dams should be prioritised. Both nutrient and sediment pollution were experienced in the middle part of the Mun River Basin and applications of low-P manure with mineral NK are recommended. Nonetheless, other soil-water conservation measures can be optionally applied to enhance the effectiveness in the watershed management.

    Abstract Deserts and sandy land in northern China are very susceptible to sandy desertification and are the main source of sand-dust storms of Asian dust. However, because of the complex factors involved, descriptions of the relationship between sandy desertification and surface characteristics in these regions are lacking. We monitored the surface characteristics and their changes in time using information about soil, vegetation, and landforms in the Badain Jaran Desert (BJD), Tengger Desert (TD), and Ulan Buh Desert (UBD) in the northern China. The monitoring was done using tasseled cap angle (TCA), disturbance index (DI), and topsoil grain size index (TGSI) from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images combined with a decision tree classification. Results showed that the TD had higher topsoil fine sand content, and the ratio of non-vegetated to vegetated areas was similar with that in the UBD. Northeast-southwest coarse sand dunes with thin interdune (NECTI) dominated the BD, fine sand dunes (FSD) dominated the TD, and a combination of northeast-southwest coarse sand dunes with wide interdune (NECWI) and northwest-southeast coarse sand dunes with wide interdune (NWCWI) dominated the UBD. From 2000 to 2015, in the BJD the area of the NECTI, non-sand dune (Non) and potential sand sources (PSS) increased, whereas the area of the NECWI, FSD and NWCWI decreased, indicating a improve process in the BJD. In the TD, the area covered by Non increased, whereas the area covered by PSS, NECWI, NECTI, FSD, and NWCWI decreased from 2000 to 2015. The area covered by the various surface characteristic types fluctuated annually in the UBD from 2000 to 2015. Changes in surface characteristics reflect the combined effects of natural conditions and human activity. The findings of our study will assist scientists and policy makers in proposing different management techniques to combat sandy desertification for the different surface characteristics of these regions.

    Abstract The Yellow River Delta has abundant land resources, but the land exhibits heavy degeneration because of long-term exposure to harsh natural conditions and improper human activities, and the soil quality is poor in some areas. All these factors have adversely affected agricultural development and ecological protection in the Yellow River Delta. This study selected multiple physical and chemical indicators and used principal component analysis (PCA) to construct a minimum data set (MDS) to determine a comprehensive set of indicators for assessing soil quality in the Yellow River Delta. Moreover, a fuzzy logic model was used to assess soil quality and analyze the spatial distribution of the primary land use types in different soil quality grades. The results indicate that the MDS includes six soil indicators: total nitrogen (TN), available phosphorus (AP), available potassium (AK), soil organic matter (SOM), soil salinity (SS) and pH. According to the spatial distribution maps of the indicators, SS gradually declined from the coast to the inland areas, while TN and AP had opposite characteristics. AK and pH were evenly distributed around the study area, and SOM was highest in the center and gradually declined toward the edge of the study area. The soil quality was higher in inland areas than in coastal areas, and most of the study area was classified as grade III. Most of the farmland, forest, and garden plots were distributed in high-grade soil levels, but some of these plots were distributed in areas classified as grades V or VI. Many areas with high soil quality were unused, which indicated that the land resources of the study area should be planned reasonably.
