Future ecosystem service value modeling with land cover dynamics by using machine learning based Artificial Neural Network model for Jashore city, Bangladesh

Environmental benefits of blue ecosystem services and residents’ willingness to pay in Khulna city, Bangladesh

“…A common pattern of such land use transformation is landfilling of low lying pockets and ponds to accommodate the new migrants ( Haque et al., 2020 ). About 1.5 million people live in Khulna city within an estimated area of 45.65 sq km ( Morshed et al., 2021 ). About 0.2 million (200 thousand) poor people live in low-income settlements mostly located in the urban fringe developed on low lands.…”

“…Regulatory instruments in Bangladesh keep provision for controlling of discharge of waste to water bodies including ponds. However, due to poor enforcement of regulatory regimes and monitoring the degradation of the pond environment is rampant ( Marufuzzaman et al., 2019 ; Morshed et al., 2021 ). Moreover, as most of these policies emphasize regulation and laws for environmental protection and pay less attention to the importance of public participation, therefore degradation of pond scape became unavoidable.…”

A GIS and remote sensing approach for measuring summer-winter variation of land use and land cover indices and surface temperature in Dhaka district, Bangladesh

“…LULC changes can occur as a result of both human and climate-related factors. Demand for additional settlements, for example, frequently results in the irreversible loss of working and natural land cover, which can lead to localized changes in weather patterns, precipitation, and temperature ( Morshed et al., 2021 ; Mondal et al., 2021a , b , 2022 ; Thakur et al., 2020a , 2020b ; Gazi and Mondal 2018 ). These changes have the ability to influence the Earth's climate by modifying local, regional, and global circulation patterns, changing the reflectivity of the Earth's surface, and increasing the CO2 in the atmosphere when they are accumulated over huge areas ( Fattah et al., 2021a ).…”

Unraveling the Spatio-Temporal Relationship between Ecosystem Services and Socioeconomic Development in Dabie Mountain Area over the Last 10 years

“…Scientific evaluation of ESV and quantitative description of its temporal and spatial dynamic characteristics can provide an important reference for formulating reasonable ecological protection policies. Quantifying ESV is an important approach to raise awareness, develop knowledge, improve decision making, and formulate policies [13][14][15][16][17] while also being an important measure to attract social attention toward protecting the environment [18]. ESV evaluation approaches are mainly divided into monetary form and energy form [19].…”
