“…Vegetation coverage = (NDVI − NDVImin)/(NDVImax − NDVImin) (2) where, NIR and VIS are the reflectance values at the near-infrared wavelength band and the red wavelength band, respectively; NDVImax is the maximum vegetation index value of the forestland with vegetation coverage; and NDVImin is the minimum vegetation index value of bare exposed rock or gravel without vegetation coverage, in which the vegetation coverage indices are binarized [28,29]. …”

“…With the rapid development of the economy, the construction of roads is considered to be one of the main reasons for biodiversity loss, and it is also known as a barrier for wildlife movements [2,3]. It has been reported that the mean road density of the United States is 0.75 km/km 2 ; for Germany, France, and England it is >1.88 km/km 2 ; and for Japan it is >3 km/km 2 [4].…”

Abstract:Roads are the link between geographic space and human socio-economic activities, promoting local economic development, and simultaneously causing various negative effects, such as segmentation, interference, destruction, degradation, and pollution. In China, the construction of roads is rapid, which might affect wildlife movement, landscape pattern, and land use change, thereby, affecting the conservation of heritage sites. In the present study, the minimum cumulative resistance model, along with geographic information system technology, was adopted to compute the ecological corridor for wildlife movement between the source patches and to analyze ecological corridor changes under two conditions (road presence/absence) at two time points in Kanas, nominated as a World Natural Heritage site. The relationships between the ecological corridor changes and various factors, including the cutting index of the 'road-effect zones', terrain, and road geometric characteristics, were examined using the geographical detector model to identify the influencing factors and mechanisms of the corridor changes, in order to rationally simulate the potential ecological corridors. In addition, the detached and fragmented ecological patches can be connected to effectively protect the biodiversity, biological habitats, and species, which are important means to achieve regional sustainable development and ecological construction.

“…Ecological compensation is the substitution of ecological functions or qualities that are impaired by development (Cuperus et al, 1996(Cuperus et al, , 1999; it plays one of the most indispensable roles in the social responsibility of infrastructure mega-projects. In general, the main purpose of ecological compensation is either to improve damaged areas or to create new habitats with ecological functions and quality attributes (Allen and Feddema, 1996).…”

Social responsibility in infrastructure mega-projects: A case study of ecological compensation for Sousa chinensis during the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Abstract Ecological compensation plays an important role in implementing the social responsibility of infrastructure mega-projects. Based on the results of a field study, an in-depth interview, and archive data, this paper introduces the ecological compensation for Sousa chinensis (the Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphin) during the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. It studies the concrete measures, decision-making processes, and organizational collaboration of the ecological compensation, using the method of a case study. The present study not only enriches our understanding of the ecological compensation practice during the construction of infrastructure mega-projects, but also extends the literature on the social responsibility of infrastructure mega-projects. This sheds light on the protection of the environment as well as biodiversity in the construction of future infrastructure mega-projects.

Eco-compensation and harmonious regional development in China

et al. 2015

Abstract:Harmonious regional development poses difficult problems, especially in so far as the harmonious regional development of ecological resources is concerned. China has explored several eco-compensation models, and in each province eco-compensation has different characteristics. These methods have had significant impacts. The aim of this paper is first to examine the meaning of ecocompensation and to present a framework for analyzing it. Next the development of eco-compensation in China is examined. Finally, four typical models of eco-compensation are compared: the government financial transfer payment compensation model; the ecological resource exploiters′ payment compensation model; the ecological destruction compensation model; and the ecological resource tax collection compensation model. Each model has its own unique feature and potential to contribute to harmonious regional development.
