Detection and Quantification of Vegetation Losses with Sentinel-2 Images Using Bi-Temporal Analysis of Spectral Indices and Transferable Random Forest Model
Published on 2025-03-11 by Alicja Rynkiewicz, Agata Ho?ci?o, Linda Aune-Lundberg, Anne B. Nilsen, Aneta Lewandowska @MDPI
Abstract: The precise spatially explicit data on land cover and land use changes is one of the essential variables for enhancing the quantification of greenhouse gas emissions and removals, which is relevant for meeting the goal of the European economy and society to become climate-neutral by 2050. The accuracy of the machine learning models trained on remote-sensed data suffers from a lack of reliable training datasets and they are often site-specific. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a method that [...]
Our summary: Detection and quantification of vegetation losses using bi-temporal analysis of spectral indices and transferable random forest model, improving accuracy and efficiency of greenhouse gas emissions quantification for climate goals.

Comprehensive Assessment and Obstacle Analysis on Low-Carbon Development Quality of 30 Provincial Regions in China
Published on 2025-03-10 by Haoran Zhao, Zhen Yang, Shunan Wu, Zhuowen Zhang, Chuan Li, Chunhua Jin, Sen Guo @MDPI
Abstract: Low-carbon development (LCD) in China has become the critical measure to achieve sustainable development and handle climate change. This investigation evaluates 30 provincial regions’ LCD quality from dimensions of low-carbon (LC) economy, resources utilization, LC environment, and LC society. According to the integrated weights combined subjective weights identified through the best–worst method (BWM) and objective weights attained through the anti-entropy weight (AE[...]

An Energy-Efficient Approach for Thermal Comfort and Sleep Quality in Subtropical Bedrooms
Published on 2025-03-10 by Tsz-Wun Tsang, Kwok-Wai Mui, Kwun-Hei Cheung, Ling-Tim Wong @MDPI
Abstract: This study conducted a within-subject study to assess sleeping environmental comfort, acceptance, and self-reported sleep quality in air-conditioned and mixed-mode ventilated bedrooms in a subtropical region during the summer. A wide thermal comfort temperature range of 22.2 °C to 28.2 °C was observed, with slightly warmer thermal sensation at higher temperatures but no significant differences in sleep quality or environmental comfort acceptance within this range. Subject[...]
Our summary: An energy-efficient study on thermal comfort and sleep quality in subtropical bedrooms during summer, showing a wide thermal comfort temperature range and potential 95% savings in cooling energy by increasing set-point temperature.

A Case Study of İzmir
Published on 2025-03-10 by Nurdan Erdo?an @MDPI
Abstract: Understanding the impacts of land use/land cover (LULC) changes on ecological processes is essential for addressing biodiversity loss, habitat fragmentation, and climate change. This study analyzes the effects of LULC changes on habitat quality and landscape connectivity in İzmir, Turkey’s third-largest city, using the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs Habitat Quality (InVEST HQ) model, Conefor 2.6 connectivity analysis, and Circuitscape 4.0 res[...]
Our summary: Understanding LULC impacts on habitat quality and connectivity in İzmir, Turkey using InVEST HQ, Conefor 2.6, and Circuitscape 4.0 models. Analysis of CORINE Land Cover data from 1990 to 2018 shows increasing artificial surfaces, stable high-quality habitat areas, and intensified fragmentation. Connectivity analysis identifies critical ecological corridors, but resistance to movement hinders connectivity-supporting corridors. Integration of spatial modeling in urban planning and conservation strategies is crucial to mitigate habitat loss and fragmentation.
