“…Disturbance layers can also be customized to include specific regional challenges including invasive species (Mainali et al 2015) or modified to consider suitability of plant materials under future climate and ecologically relevant drought conditions (McKay et al 2005; Havens et al 2015; Bradford et al 2020). These alternative data can be used early on in our methodological pipeline, for example, to build SDMs using future climate scenarios (García‐Valdés et al 2020), modeled soil moisture histories related to a species' regeneration niche (Petrie et al 2017), or to create layers based on wildfire severity or management history (Sterner et al 2022). Incorporating additional planning tools and restoration criteria for source or site selection may ensure effectiveness of limited resources (Chambers et al 2019) and ensure needs are met for multiple end‐users or across multiple jurisdictional boundaries (Creutzburg et al 2022).…”

Assessing the appropriateness of existing native plant materials can both determine which seed source to utilize for restoration projects, and identify locations for which new seed sources need to be developed. Here, we demonstrate an approach to meet these needs. This method identifies areas of high restoration need based on disturbance patterns, assesses the regional suitability of existing native plant materials based on climate similarity, and highlights geographic (and climatic) gaps where existing materials are likely unsuitable and where plant material development projects can be prioritized. We examined 12 high priority restoration species across the Colorado Plateau, a 38‐million‐ha region of the Intermountain West, United States to test our methodological pipeline. Fifty‐four percent of the Colorado Plateau is disturbed by livestock grazing, wildfires that have burned in the past 20 years, or energy production from oil and gas wells, natural gas pipelines, and coal mines. Of the 28 commercially available plant materials for six of the focal species, only 3 have climate similarity that encompass more than 50% of the species modeled habitat on the Colorado Plateau. Across all commercial materials, most species (10 of 12) do not have any suitable plant material for 70% or more of their geographic range on the Colorado Plateau. Of those areas identified as not having any suitable plant materials, 47–56% are also disturbed. Our method provides usable, flexible protocols and spatially referenced data sources for optimizing the planning of new native plant materials in any region where restoration is needed and spatial data are available.

“…It provides a large amount of digital land use and ecological change information, so high-resolution satellite remote sensing images are widely used in land use, ecological environment investigations and dynamic monitoring research [8]. The process of land use change has a significant influence on ecosystem services and ecological landscape patterns [9][10][11]. Habitat patches, network structure, rational urban land use, and the development of species are closely related to regional land use structure and spatial layout changes [12].…”

This paper assesses the sustainability impacts in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in China after the Xiaolangdi Dam was constructed. Based on land use data interpreted from Landsat remote sensing images, covering the time period from 2000 to 2020 at 5-year intervals, this research uses a land dynamic attitude index and comprehensive index of land use degree to reveal the degree of land use type change in the study area and analyze the relationship between land use and social economy. The results show that urban and rural construction land is the land use type with the largest annual change rate, and the increase is most obvious from 2005 to 2010, growing by nearly 900 km2. The six types of land use in the research area changed sharply from 2000 to 2010, with grassland and unused land showing the most significant change. On the whole, the dynamic attitude of comprehensive land use tends to be stable. The comprehensive index analysis of land use degree indicates that the study area has developed in the direction of urban settlement. Population and GDP are the main driving factors affecting the constant change in land use types in this region, in which population growth and rapid economic development are the main factors leading to the decline of grassland area, and are also the main driving factors for the expansion of construction land. The research results provide a scientific basis for sustainable land use and development in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River Basin.
