In terms of challenges related to the implementation and the mainstreaming of NBS adoption in urban agendas, the research highlights the problems of awareness, information accessibility, and financial sustainability.

Rural Human-Earth System (RHES) offers a comprehensive framework to better understand this changing relationship in rural areas. Exploring the differentiation and evolution of RHES, especially via systematic methodology, is crucial for category-based and region-specific practice of China’s rural revitalization strategies. Taking Lingbao, a representative region in the midstream of the Yellow River Basin, this study employed multi-source geographical data to identify the differentiation of RHES at the finer scale. Additionally, this research developed a random forest model to simulate the evolution and transformation of Lingbao’s RHES from 2000 to 2020. The results showed that Lingbao’s RHES could be classified into four subsystems–ecological (ECS), agricultural (AGS), rural-town (RTS), and urban-town (UTS)–exhibiting significant spatial heterogeneity. During the study period, the proportions of the ECS, RTS, and UTS increased by 2.98 %, 2.92 %, and 0.46 % respectively, whereas that of the AGS decreased by 6.36 %. Moreover, the proportion of AGS transforming to RTS increased consistently and became the dominant trajectory in 2010, surpassing the traditional AGS-to-ECS conversion pattern. The AGS served as a critical spatial carrier for RHES transformation, owing to its malleability and vulnerability. The evolution of these subsystems follows an “imbalance-coordination” cycle, driven by spatial optimization and self-organization processes. These findings help to design more targeted land use planning and to provide crucial insights for implementing differentiated rural revitalization strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"150 ","pages":"Article 107475"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143097214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research discusses the demand-driven mode and spatial development mode of the evolution of LUS; further, it explores the underlying trends of the evolution of LUS, analyzes the links and cross-scale interactions between the evolution and transformation of LUS, and presents an empirical study on Shuangda Village, Guangxi, China. The following conclusions have been obtained: (1) \"Benefits demands – internal-external interaction – structural evolution – functional development\" represents the demand-driven mode of the evolution and growth of LUS. While theoretically, this mode can run in an infinite loop, in reality, regional LUS and its corresponding social system will develop into a steady-state phase. (2) \"Extensive expansion – internal densification – scale breakthrough\" represents the mode of spatial development and expansion of LUS. The key clue to the formation of this mode lies in \"benefits demands\". If LUS can achieve a \"scale breakthrough\", a higher-level \"extensive expansion\" development will be initiated. (3) The evolutions of LUSs follow two underlying trends: integration and decoupling. Spatial and functional differentiation is the process of promoting the integration or decoupling of LUSs. The integration of multiple LUSs is a process of their synergy, differentiation, and division of labor. The decoupling of LUS represents the local redifferentiation and redivision of labor under the background of local independence and overall de-synergization of the LUS. (4) There is a \"quantitative change – qualitative change\" link between the evolution and transformation of LUS, which runs through the cross-scale or multi-scales. The \"benefits demands\" is the main line running through the evolution and transformation of LUS at all scales. The smaller the spatial scale and scope of the observation unit, the easier it is to accelerate the overall velocity of the evolution and transformation of LUS. Cross-scale interactions between the evolution and transformation of LUS can guide the regional division of labor, improve the regional supply-demand circulation, and unlock development opportunities and benefits. (5) The development process of Shuangda Village verifies the theory of this research. The trend of the LUS of Shuangda Village to integrate with the larger-scale LUS of the outside world is being strengthened. While Shuangda Village has achieved progress in land-use transformation and rural revitalization, it also faces difficulties.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"150 ","pages":"Article 107470"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143098303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyse drivers of forest area change across various land-use sectors in the Atlantic Forest of São Paulo state, Brazil, to identify the Forest Transition pathway that best explains reforestation patterns. Using multiple regression, we found that reforestation is preferentially more likely to occur on mixed farming land and less likely on land used for cash crop production. Between 1990 and 2020, gross forest area change was about 10 times greater than net forest area change. Considerable overlap exists between the drivers and facilitating factors of both reforestation and deforestation, suggesting a mix of more dynamic (with higher forest area gains and losses) and more stable landscapes in São Paulo’s Atlantic Forest. However, many drivers and facilitating factors are uniquely tied to reforestation in specific land-use types. Reforestation does not fit neatly into a single Forest Transition pathway, but we can identify different pathways by considering the land-use type that was replaced. Reforestation on mixed farming land, which accounts for 77 % of reforestation events, shows a strong connection to the Forest Policy pathway. If different land uses follow distinct Forest Transition pathways, a one-size-fits-all approach may be ineffective for scaling up reforestation. Our findings indicate that ( various pathways provide opportunities to target specific land-use sectors for reforestation scaling.

It is pivotal to track changes in carbon emissions from diverse land uses and model their future patterns in a geographically explicit manner which could capture spatial configuration and temporal dynamics from fine-resolution analyses, particularly in urban agglomerations with intense human activities. Yet, spatially explicit land-use carbon emissions have been poorly investigated; especially, no existing research to our knowledge quantifies the carbon emissions from different construction land types and tracks their changes along the urban-rural gradients. To fill in this gap, we examined carbon emissions associated with land use change during 2000–2020 in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (abbreviated as BTH) region, China, and then simulated future carbon emissions by adopting the PLUS model to project land use patterns in 2035 under three scenarios, including business as usual (BAU), cropland protection and grain security (CPGS), and low-carbon ecological security (LCES) at a 1 km resolution. Results showed that regional carbon emissions rose first and then dropped with total increase of 11,047.29 × 10⁴ t during 2000–2020, approximate 10 times as the increase in carbon absorption (1106.89 ×10⁴ t), indicating a big challenge toward carbon neutrality. The expansion of industrial and mining land and urban construction land contributed the most to emissions. Besides, both intensities of carbon emission and absorption presented spatial differentiation across urban-rural gradients and as urbanization accelerated, both urban and urban-rural fringe areas are considered the priority regions for CO₂ reduction efforts. By 2035, the largest carbon emissions will occur in the BAU scenario, followed by the CPGS and LCES scenarios which will witness the positive change exceeding the negative change.
