A remote sensing-based paradigm for revealing road ecological impacts in permafrost regions
The ecological impacts of roads in permafrost regions remain poorly understood, particularly at small and medium scale, limiting effective conservation and road management strategies. We propose a multi-scale remote sensing-based paradigm to quantify these impacts throughout road construction and operation. Using spatial deviation (D), change rate (I), and Road Ecological Impact Index (REII), we assessed the Gongyu Expressway, the first expressway on the Tibetan Plateau. Results show that surface water and vegetation impacts extended up to 100 m, with seasonal variations: rainy season effects were 4–6 times stronger, and construction impacts exceeded operation impacts by 1.1–1.4 times. Monthly impact amplitudes surpassed annual values, highlighting intensified short-term variations. Our paradigm enables rapid, high-precision monitoring of road-induced ecosystem stresses, reducing time lags in ecological assessment. Given the sensitivity of permafrost environments, this approach is crucial for predicting and mitigating the long-term ecological effects of expanding expressway networks.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
