“…As vegetation proliferates, the expansion of leaf area in these trees enhances photosynthetic efficiency and carbon sequestration, which is crucial for biomass accumulation [ 24 , 25 ]. This not only boosts forest productivity but also improves microclimatic conditions at the ground level by expanding canopy cover, which helps retain soil moisture and reduces soil erosion [ 26 ]. These findings underscore the importance of afforestation strategies in barren areas of China for achieving sustained vegetation restoration and ecosystem functionality.…”

“…Elevation was second only to the distance to the mine and ranked first in importance in all three mining cities. Slope ranked fifth, possibly due to the fact that there are fewer anthropogenic activities in high-elevation and steep areas [111], which cause relatively less damage to the ecological environment. This is in line with the high-high aggregation characteristics of RSEI in high-elevation areas in Xiong et al's study [14].…”

“…Shaanxi Province is divided into three major regions including the Northern Shaanxi Plateau, the Guan Zhong Plain, and the Qinba Mountain Areas by Bai Mountains and the Qinling Mountains. The average annual temperature of Shaanxi Province is 11.6 • C, and the average annual precipitation is 653 mm [46]. Although most of Shaanxi Province experiences continental monsoon climate, the climate differences are obvious due to its terrain and latitude.…”
