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...
Bird species occurrence datasets are a valuable resource for understanding the effects of urbanization on various biotic conditions (e.g., species occupancy and richness). Existing datasets offer promising opportunities to explore variations among ci...
In the rapidly changing dynamics of urbanization, urban forests offer numerous benefits to city dwellers. However, the information available on these resources is often outdated or non-existent, leading in part to inequitable access to these benefits...
Sub-Saharan Africa and other developing regions have urbanized extensively, leading to complex urban features with varying presence and types of roads, buildings and vegetation. We use a novel hierarchical deep learning framework and high-resolution ...
This study systematically analyzes the land use changes in Changsha City from 2000 to 2023. Three classification models-Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) were employed to evaluate the accu...
