Abstract

High-resolution satellite maps of the contiguous USA spanning 35 years reveal a fundamental shift in land disturbances: the area affected by human-directed disturbances is decreasing, whereas land damaged by ‘wild’ disturbances (like fire, vegetation stress, wind, and geohazards) is surging. This work also uncovers evolving patterns in the frequency, size, and severity of disturbances.

自然土地扰动正在恶化，但人类并没有摆脱困境

美国连续35年的高分辨率卫星地图揭示了陆地干扰的根本变化：受人为干扰影响的面积正在减少，而受“野生”干扰（如火灾、植被压力、风和地质灾害）破坏的土地正在激增。这项工作还揭示了干扰的频率、大小和严重程度的演变模式。
