Tension is building up between the need to provide food for eight billion humans and the necessity to safeguard their environment. In many parts of the world, the ongoing transition of farmers’ livelihoods is creating even greater uncertainty in addressing the dual challenges of food security and environmental sustainability. Using a simulation-bas...

With the rapid development of urbanization, land cover, and land use patterns have greatly changed in China, which has damaged the landscape structure, affected the energy balance and material flow within the system, and reduced the value of ecosystem services. The construction of landscape ecological security patterns could promote species exchang...

To promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas, China has adopted a hybrid strategy of urbanization and rural village renewal. Due to the large development differences between villages, choosing appropriate strategies is significant for rural development. By introducing a new idea to promote urban–rural integration development thro...

China has made considerable achievements in poverty alleviation and reduction, and pro-poor tourism is an important part of its poverty alleviation policy. To prevent policy investments from idling and becoming wasted, and to prevent poverty from returning to previously poverty-stricken areas, it is helpful to improve the continuity and adaptabilit...

1. We construct and optimize the landscape ecological security pattern for the river basin 2. The randomness of species migration path is considered in landscape ecological security 3. The pattern of Dawen River basin was constructed from the perspective of points, lines and surfaces 4. Three types of zones were determined according to the key grav...

The public demand for urban green growth (UGG) varies greatly due to climate conditions, resource endowments, geographical location; thus, understanding the coupling relationship between public demand and government supply is important to optimize government investment. This paper aims to evaluate the coupling coordination of UGG between public dem...

Encouraging more farmers to adopt eco-friendly fertilization technology is essential for achieving sustainable grain production. To systematically explore the factors influencing farmers’ adoption of such technology, based on a logistic regression model and three mutually complementary spatial analysis models, our study proposes a spatial-econometr...

With the adjustment of the economic structures and the slowdown of development, urban shrinkage has become a common phenomenon, especially in developed countries. In contrast, for developing cities, there is a special phenomenon of urban shrinkage, that is, border expansion and space shrinkage coexist. In view of this situation, it is difficult to...

Understanding the interconnections and tradeoffs between food, energy, and water (FEW) in grain production, which are essential for agricultural sustainability, remains an elusive yet important task. We propose a four-step analysis method for exploring potential approaches to coordinating the FEW nexus in grain production based on a conceptual fram...

With the rapid development of urbanization and economic growth, urban agglomerations have become an effective way to realize resource sharing and reduce environmental dependence. This paper focuses on the cities within an urban agglomeration and analyzes the spatial characteristics of green development and its influencing factors. Considering the s...
