Framework for evaluating rural ecosystem restoration programs in Asia

Climate-induced disasters, such as droughts and floods, have a significant impact on rural areas across Asia, where local livelihoods inherently depend on ecosystem services, necessitating effective and context-specific strategies for building resilience. Ecosystem restoration (ER), a process involving human-assisted recovery of degraded ecosystems, has been widely implemented but insufficiently evaluated, particularly regarding its socioeconomic impacts....

Simulating spatiotemporal changes in land-use functions in Guyuan, China, using an agent-based model dependent on multi-level stakeholder participation

Seeking a more integrative understanding of the coupled human-environment system to tackle critical issues is currently a key concern for policymakers and the scientific community, especially in developing countries. This study developed an agent-based model (ABM) to simulate spatiotemporal changes of land use functions (LUFs) in the environmentally fragile region Guyuan in western China to...
