“…On the reasons for the vegetation restoration in the Loess Plateau in the last decade, many studies also argued that it was the comprehensive effects of climate change and human activities. S. S. Li, Yang, Liu, Liu, and Shi () argued the vegetation restoration in Shaanxi‐Gansu‐Ningxia region was because greater precipitation occurred at a later stage of ecological engineering, and Y. R. Li et al () argued that the vegetation restoration in Mu Us Sandy Land was the joint effects of climate change, ecological restoration, and agricultural activities. This paper analysed the driving forces regionally.…”

“…And the mainly different areas were the south‐eastern sand and desert region and the juncture of southern Ningxia and Gansu. The south‐eastern sand and desert region performed significantly better because of the continuous and massive ecological construction project, even though the slope of the increase in the vegetation cover was slight (Y. R. Li et al, ). Simultaneously, the juncture of southern Ningxia and Gansu increased without statistical significance, possibly because of the fluctuations of the increase in vegetation cover.…”

“…A Mann‐Kendall (MK) trend test was applied to detect trends in AVHRR GIMMS NDVI over the period of 1981–2013 and that in MODIS NDVI over the period of 2000–2013. The MK trend test is a nonparametric statistical test that can assess the significance of monotonic trends within a time series in the absence of any seasonal variation or other cycles and that has been commonly used to detect variations in the trends of hydrologic, climatic, and environmental factors (Fan, Lü, Yang, & Chen, ; Y. R. Li, Cao, Long, Liu, & Li, ; Sicard, Mangin, Hebel, & Malléa, ; B. Q. Zhang, He, et al, ). In this test, the deseasonalized time series data ( x 1 , x 2 , …, x n ) are treated as a random sample of n independent and identically distributed variables.…”

“…Among them, forest land, bush land, and grassland are categorized as ecological land, and their ecological levels decrease successively. Farmland, rural settlements, urban settlements, sand and bare land are categorized as non-ecological land, and the ecological level decreases successively [41]. 99.17% of land cover types did not change between 2000 and 2010 (Table 5).…”

Abstract:The shortage of water resources is a key factor limiting the sustainability of the economy and society. Most of the 25 National Key Ecological Function Areas (NKEFAs) in China serve as a source and supplementation for numerous rivers and playing an important role in water resource conservation. Based on the analysis of eco-environmental quality changes in NKEFAs, this study analyzed the spatial pattern of water conservation services in 2000 and 2010 by using a water balance equation. The results indicate that the land cover type of NKEFAs was dominated by grassland, and the proportion of ecological land conversion to non-ecological land (0.3%) was higher than that of non-ecological land conversion to ecological land (0.21%). The fractional vegetation coverage (FVC) and biomass density of NKEFAs gradually decreased from southeast to northwest. The FVC of the Changbai Mountain Forest Function Area (CBS) was the highest, while the biomass density and total biomass were highest in mountain areas in the Middle of Hai'nan Island (HND) and in the Great Khingan and Lesser Khingan Mountains (XAL) respectively. The FVC and biomass of NKEFAs mostly increased in 2000-2010. Water conservation amounts of NKEFAs decreased from southeast to northwest. The average water conservation and total water conservation amount of Nanling Mountain (NL), Guangxi-Guizhou-Yunnan (GQD), and the Wuling Mountain Function Area (WLS) were the highest, while the Yinshan Mountain (YS), Alkin Grassland (AEJ), and the Qilian Mountain Function Area (QLS) had the lowest values. In 2000-2010, the water conservation service of 60% of NKEFAs decreased. Spatial and temporal differences in water conservation services are the result of a combination of ecological environment quality and meteorological conditions. Protection of the ecological environment and vegetation coverage improvement should be strengthened to enhance the function of water conservation.

“…In case of development of their design decisions it is necessary to take into account the requirements to the constructive-and-technological execution, regulated as at the federal level [3,7,8,9,10,11], industry and regional levels, and requirements of the consumers as well. However, this approach is not only economically costly, but does ecological harm in because of the technogenic impact [12]. The urbanization of the territories, surrounding megalopolises, also leads to loss of their recreational opportunities [13], natural and cultural and historical attractiveness [14,15].…”

Abstract. Rational creation of the consumer quality of constructions, which is taking into account some cultural, historical and other, accepted for society development paradigms enters to replace mass sustainable development of the industry of a construction in case of development of the recreational territories around megalopolises, using intellectual systems in a construction, ecological, energy-saving technologies in increase in a consumer evaluation of quality. For the residential development of the recreational territories of cities it is important to provide not only complex conditions of their development, to keep their potential for future generations, providing their social-and-economic development, to consider national and climatic features, but also to use their potential opportunities and traditions of the people inhabiting them, rationally and economically. The educated development of the construction industry is the new term entered into the use of constructors, when the consumer quality of building and structures meets national preferences taking into account traditions and advanced achievements in the use of materials, architectural and project decisions, production technologies and climatic opportunities with the minimum damage to the environment. Its accomplishment assumes enhancement and introduction of local-and-standard regulation with implementation of innovative solutions. 1Introduction
