If the plans for future land reclamations are fully realized, 32.3 km2 of the 321.8 km2 island (10%) will be reclaimed land and the associated negative effects on the island’s natural coastal habitats will be inevitable. This study highlights sections of the coast of Penang Island in need ...
Land reclamation has emerged as a method of countering the negative after-effects of extracting coal and other minerals. It is also a comprehensive interdisciplinary subject that covers the problems of landscape redevelopment and the restoration of its productivity, ecological integrity, and economic and...

functional composition, and soil functions. Red and blue arrows indicate positive and negative relationships, respectively. Solid or dashed lines indicate significant (p < 0.05) or non-significant relationships. Numbers near the pathway arrow indicate the standard path coefficients. Comparative...
to the triggering of those processes of land degradation that lead to a decline in soil functions, in soil capacity to support biological or economic productivity, and a loss of diversity in croplands, pastures, or forests, with negative effects on human survival and ecosystems (Trotta et al. ...
land use planning and investments to mitigate the adverse effect of LULC on soil loss. Furthermore, climate change will exacerbate the existing soil erosion problem and would need for vigorous proper conservation policies and investments to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on soil loss...
these factors accelerated the loss of soil moisture and nutrients, deteriorated the structural stability and reduced the capacity of holding soil water and fertilizer, which showed negative effects on crop aeration status and root development, resulting in unfavorable conditions for maize growth and a ...
cost of wetlands shrinkage. The large-scale land reclamation severely affected the ecosystems in this region. However, such effects at the regional scale are seldomevaluated quantitatively. We used three datasets of LANDSAT MSS and/or TM imagery to estimate the area changes and the transition of ...
(3) Land reclamation (LR), which effects on construction land, and disaster damaged land etc., forming cultivated land by reclaiming is the main purpose (Guo et al., 2015a,2015b). (4) Land development, which functions on unused land (Liu et al., 2014a, 2014b), forming new ...
(1962–2012). High-intensity land-based source TDN discharge and land reclamation were the important factors of long-term variation of DIN concentration (Zhang et al., 2017). More than 60% of land-based pollutants from Qingdao were discharged into JZB, which contributed greatly to water ...
