Changes in distribution patterns of economically essential forest species under global change are urgently needed the scientific forecast, and large-scale spatial modeling is a crucial tool. Using diversity pattern indicators other data obtained through geographic information systems (GIS) on Moraceae from published data, we quantitatively studied genera China. The results revealed that patch r...

Hydrological drought forecasting is a key component in water resources modeling as it relates directly to availability. It crucial managing and operating dams, which are constructed rivers. In this study, multiple extreme learning machines (ELMs) utilized forecast hydrological drought. For purpose, the standardized index (SHDI) precipitation (SPI) computed for 1 3 aggregated months. Two scenari...

Variations in climate types are commonly used to describe changes natural vegetation cover response global change. However, few attempts have been made quantify the heterogeneous dynamics of types. In this study, based on Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) historical and representative concentration pathway (RCP) runs from 18 models, we Shannon’s Diversity Index (SHDI) Simpso...

This article aims to test empirically two popular hypotheses about territorial economic differences in the modern world. According first hypothesis, between countries world are not as large regions’ within countries. second decline degree of is due relatively faster development capital regions. Investigation on various levels realized applying method comparing coefficient variation income popul...

During 1995–2010, a comparison of the comprehensive effects four different types urban roads on landscape diversity in Shanghai was performed. Remote sensing images from 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010 transfer matrix mathematical model were used to conduct research, which focused studying rule land use change study area over past 15 years. Seven indices (SHDI, SHEI, ED, NP, TE, AWMSI, MSI) also sel...

Ecosystem services (ES) can link natural ecosystems with socioeconomic systems. The Yi River basin is one of the most important sub-basins Yellow basin, and landscape pattern this has changed dramatically in recent years. However, assessment patterns on ecosystem value (ESV) such been little studied. Therefore, temporal-spatial evolution ESV was evaluated through indices analysis method for eva...

This paper investigates whether global improvements in human development involve subnational regions a territorially cohesive way. We use index (SHDI) for 1778 within 163 countries over three decades, and propose measures relative over- under-performance. find that frequently observed reductions of within-country inequality are not necessarily accompanied by under- over-performance. Moreover, f...
