“…These formations determine the relief and soil types prevalent throughout the region and influence its mineral wealth, making it a focal point for mining activities, particularly for iron ore, limestone, clay, sand, and table salt. The relief of the peninsula generally consists of steppe hills, with a notable division into gentler southern and western parts and more rugged northern and eastern sections [27][28][29]. This varied topography significantly influences the distribution and diversity of local flora and fauna, contributing to the ecological richness of the peninsula.…”

This study presents an in-depth analysis of land use and land cover change on the Kerch Peninsula over a period spanning three decades. Utilizing convolutional neural networks alongside satellite imagery analysis, we have mapped and quantified the changes in land use and cover, revealing significant trends and transformations within the peninsula's landscape. The research aims to elucidate the interplay between anthropogenic activities, climatic variations, and policy interventions in shaping land cover dynamics, thereby providing insights into the environmental and socio-economic impacts of these changes. Our findings indicate a marked increase in urban expansion at the expense of natural ecosystems, including forests and wetlands, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable land management strategies. The study highlights the role of agricultural intensification and expansion in altering the peninsula's ecological balance and emphasizes the critical importance of integrating change analysis and prediction. By leveraging advanced remote sensing and GIS technologies, our analysis not only enhances the understanding of the complex dynamics driving land use and land cover change but also showcases the potential of predictive modeling in forecasting future land cover scenarios. The implications of this study extend beyond the Kerch Peninsula, offering valuable lessons for managing land use changes and conserving natural landscapes in similar regions globally.

This study presents an in-depth analysis of land use and land cover change on the Kerch Peninsula over a period spanning three decades. Convolutional neural networks were employed in conjunction with satellite imagery analysis to map and quantify the changes in land use and cover. This revealed significant trends and transformations within the peninsula’s landscape. The analysis revealed a notable increase in urban expansion, particularly at the expense of natural ecosystems. Furthermore, there was a notable reversion of agricultural lands to grasslands, driven by economic downturns and reduced agricultural activity. These land cover changes underscore the urgency of implementing sustainable land management policies. The study recommends the establishment of conservation easements to protect remaining natural ecosystems, the initiation of reforestation programs to restore degraded lands, and the development of comprehensive water management strategies to address the peninsula’s hydrological challenges. Furthermore, the study underscores the pivotal importance of integrating change analysis and predictive modeling to anticipate future land cover scenarios and inform effective land management strategies. The model developed through this research, which employs advanced remote sensing and GIS technologies, provides a robust framework for understanding and managing land use and land cover change. This model can serve as a reference for similar regions globally, offering insights that can inform sustainable land use practices and policy decisions. The findings of this study have implications that extend beyond the Kerch Peninsula. They provide insights that can inform the management of land use changes and the conservation of natural landscapes in regions facing comparable socio-economic and environmental challenges.

Coalbed methane occurrence and its geological control factors are important for coal and gas co-mining. In recent years, more than 50% of the outburst accidents occurred near the faults and the thickening strips in Chinese mines. Therefore, studying the gas occurrence and its controlling factors is vital to prevent gas disasters in outburst mines with complex geology. In this paper, the distributions of faults, coal thickness, and gas content were characterized and analyzed based on fractal theory and geostatistics. Then, finer coal thickness inverted by the cross-layer boreholes for gas extraction was analyzed at a single working face. The geological control characteristics of gas contents were finally studied. The results show that coal thickness, burial depth, and fault complexity are the geological factors controlling gas contents from a regional to local scale. The sedimentary environment determines the regional coal thickness distribution and even stratification, which leads to higher gas content in the eastern thick-coal region than in the west. And the gas content varies linearly with burial depth in the same geological zonation. The fault fractal dimension is a quantitative representation of fault complexity. The dense distribution of minor faults is why the sizable fractal dimension in the local region is crucial in controlling the uneven enrichment of gas content. Therefore, more refined geological detection and characterization is the way to gas precision control in the future.
