The accurate land use and land cover (LULC) classification in the data-scarce urbanized region of Peshawar remains challenging due to computational limitations, accuracy assessment, and traditional techniques. This study, for the first time, addresse...
The rapid urbanization process has led to many prominent environmental issues in urban areas, resulting from a drastic change in land use. The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is of particular concern because it has a significant impact on the livabili...
Urban expansion and Land Use Land Cover (LULC) change pose critical challenges for sustainable urban planning and risks to food security. This study analyzes multi-temporal Landsat imagery from 1990 to 2020 for five major cities, Islamabad, Karachi, ...

Sustainable urban development requires actionable insights into the thermal consequences of land transformation. This study examines the impact of land use and land cover (LULC) changes on land surface temperature (LST) in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam, ...
Research on urban soils has traditionally neglected two significant dimensions: the spatial heterogeneity emerging within megacity resulting from varying urbanization rates, and the dynamic responses of soil microbial communities to ongoing urban exp...
With the rapid economic development in China, air quality issues have emerged as major challenges to the country's sustainable development. This study utilizes ground monitoring data from 1248 monitoring Stations across China, constructs a kilometer ...
With the acceleration of the global urbanization process, landscape design is facing increasingly complex challenges. Traditional manual design methods are gradually unable to meet the needs for efficiency, precision, and sustainability. To address t...
Better urban planning depends on assessing how land use and land cover (LULC) have evolved in recent decades and what the prospects are for change in the future. Cities are the result of various factors interacting, and land configuration directly in...
Urbanization modifies the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and nitrogen nutrients, profoundly affecting river microbial communities. However, the mechanisms driving pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria remain unclear. In this study, we...
Rapid and disorderly urban expansion leads to productivity loss, habitat fragmentation, and reduced land marginal returns, hindering sustainable urban development. Scientific identification of land use conflicts (LUCs) and understanding their driving...
