The evolution of land space demonstrates the shift of land use types from natural and semi-natural land (e.g., forest land and cropland) to built-up land, altering ecosystem cycling patterns and leading to degradation of ecosystem services in terms of regulation, provisioning and support. At the same time, production and living space crowding out ecological space brings high potential threats, such as soil erosion, forest productivity decline and habitat fragmentation. Accordingly, in response to the problems of imbalanced territorial space development, inefficient resource utilization and ecological environment degradation, how to improve the diversity, stability and sustainability of ecosystems is an urgent issue to promote modernization and green development in the new era of territorial space evolution.
High-resolution remote sensing images are commonly used to monitor the characteristics of national land space and ecological environment. This Research Topic welcome spatial studies that use field survey, remote sensing monitoring, model simulation and other technologies. This Research Topic aims to systematically investigate the evolutionary process of territorial space and ecological resilience to clarify the dynamic trend of ecological resilience under the action of nature and human. The Research Topic also focuses on the establishment of a territorial space simulation model for enhancing ecological resilience to enhance the stability and sustainability of the ecosystem and promote the modernization of the harmonious coexistence of human beings and nature.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Territorial space evolution and its ecological effects;
• Methods, theories and techniques for measuring ecological resilience;
• Ecological resilience enhancement based on territorial spatial optimization;
• Potential mechanisms of influence of natural and human factors on ecological resilience;
• Measures of resilience-related indicators and their function in ecological restoration policy and management.
