This gives geography the advantage of connecting natural (e.g., biology, ecology, climatology, geomorphology) with social and human (e.g., education, demography, sociology) sciences. The spatialisation of information from different sciences allows us to understand distribution patterns and connections between different realities. Thus, geographical knowledge is essential for an integrated and consistent understanding of our world. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations (UN) in 2015 were essential to unifying the world towards a common goal. To achieve these, 17 goals and 169 targets were created, and knowledge from multiple sciences is needed to support them. It is a huge challenge, and different knowledge branches are needed to connect. Geography and geographical knowledge have this capacity and support all 17 goals and 169 targets. Although this is a reality, as it will be explained in this editorial, SDG’s achievement for some is becoming utopic and unrealistic due to our world’s differences. It is time to think about the post-2030 SDGs, in which geography and geographic knowledge will be essential unequivocally.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52374,"journal":{"name":"Geography and Sustainability","volume":"6 1","pages":"Article 100267"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143139315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, its modularity shows a rising trend during periods of accelerated urbanization. The performance of the trade-off network displays the opposite pattern. Additionally, we observe a gradual replacement of provisioning and regulation services by cultural services in terms of dominance in the synergy network as urbanization advances.

To comprehensively examine the impact of extreme weather on ecosystem services within the Wuhan Urban Agglomeration (WUA), this study utilized meteorological station data, the Mann-Kendall (MK) test, and the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) to quantify the variation trends in heatwaves (HW) and droughts from 1961 to 2020. Then the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST) model was employed to evaluate and compare the differences in water yield and climate regulation ecosystem services under various HW, droughts, and HW-drought combination scenarios. The results show that over the past 60 years, the temperature, duration, and frequency of HW have significantly increased in the WUA. Specifically, the highest HW temperature, total HW days, HW frequency, and average HW temperature showed changing trend of +0.17 ℃/decade, +1.4 day/decade, +0.19 event/decade, and +0.07 ℃/decade, respectively. The year 2000 was identified as a mutation year for HW, characterized by increased frequency and heightened severity thereafter. The SPEI value exhibited an insignificant upward trend, with 1980 marked as a mutation year, indicating a decreasing trend in drought occurrences after 1980. Heatwaves have a weakening effect on both water yield and climate regulation services, while drought significantly weakened water yield and had a relatively modest effect on climate regulation. During HW-drought composite period, the average monthly water yield showed a notable discrepancy of 60 mm compared to humid years. Besides, as heatwaves intensify, the area of low aggregation for ecosystem services expands, whereas the area of high aggregation decreases. This study provides a preliminary understanding of the impact of urban extreme weather on urban ecosystem services under changing climatic conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52374,"journal":{"name":"Geography and Sustainability","volume":"6 1","pages":"Article 100201"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141706548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research reviews relevant papers on recent SD model applications in urban sustainability since 2018, categorizing them based on nine key indicators. Among the reviewed papers, data limitations and model assumptions were identified as major challenges in applying SD models to urban sustainability. This led to exploring the transformative potential of big data analytics, a rare approach in this field as identified by this study, to enhance SD models’ empirical foundation. Integrating big data could provide data-driven calibration, potentially improving predictive accuracy and reducing reliance on simplified assumptions.

Our findings confirm that 1) market integration is associated with intensification; 2) land managers with environmental standards more frequently adopt environmentally friendly practices; 3) physical and value-chain distances to consumers play a crucial role, with shorter distances associated with environmentally friendly practices and global chains linked to intensification and expansion. Incorporating these characteristics in existing theories of land-system change, would significantly advance understanding of land managers’ decision-making, ultimately guiding more environmentally responsible production systems and contributing to global sustainability goals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52374,"journal":{"name":"Geography and Sustainability","volume":"6 1","pages":"Article 100247"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143139297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This system, with a high-resolution of 0.05°, effectively simulates daily soil moisture and generates the Soil Moisture Deficit Index (SMDI)-based agricultural drought monitoring. The SMDI derived from the RHEAS has effectively captured historical droughts in Senegal over the recent 30 years period from 1993 to 2022. The SMDI, also provides a comprehensive understanding of regional variations in drought severity (S), duration (D), and frequency (F), through S-D-F analysis to identify key drought hotspots across Senegal. Findings reveal a distinct north-south gradient in drought conditions, with the northern and central Senegal experiencing more frequent and severe droughts. The study highlights that Senegal experiences frequent short-duration droughts with high severity, resulting in extensive spatial impact. Additionally, increasing trends in drought severity and duration suggest evolving climate change effects. These findings emphasize the urgent need for sustainable interventions to mitigate drought impacts on agricultural productivity. Specifically, the study identifies recurrent and intense drought hotspots affecting yields of staple crops like maize and rice, as well as cash crops like peanuts.

This study finds that although the 740 U.S. cities have a large UAC in 2100, these cities will encompass a significant gap from UAC to UAS (approximately 165,000 km²), accounting for 30 % UAC at that time. The study also reveals the spatio-temporal heterogeneity of the gap. The gap initially increases before reaching a inflection point in 2090, and it disparates greatly from −100 % to 240 % at city level. While cities in the Northwestern U.S. maintain UAC that exceeds UAS from 2020 to 2100, cities in other regions shift from UAC that exceeds UAS to UAC that falls short of UAS. Filling the gap without additional urban growth planning could lead to a reduction of crop production ranging from 0.3 % to 3 % and a 0.68 % loss of biomass.
