Urban growth and urban expansion patterns found in our study suggest the system dynamics is dominated by sprawl patterns rather than by a homogeneous densification. Related to this phenomenon, our results dismissed the idea of urban expansion as the main factor affecting vegetation phenology and ...
Urban expansion, especially in the coastal and provincial cities, increased pressures on limited land resources in subur- ban and incurred loss of vegetation for impervious surface27,28.
