“…Meanwhile, under climate change and global warming, urban regions also face disproportionately increasing risk of meteorological and hydrological hazards such as heat stress and floods (L. Chen et al., 2019; Gonzalez & Niyogi, 2021; S. Huang et al., 2021; S. Huang, Zhang, Chen, Ma, Fu, et al., 2022; S. Huang, Zhang, Chen, Ma, Zeng, et al., 2022; S. Huang et al., 2022; X. Huang et al., 2022; X. Zhang et al., 2019). As a result, extensive efforts have been underway toward a more in‐depth and comprehensive understanding of urbanization effects on the local water cycle and climate (Chao et al., 2020; Debbage & Shepherd, 2018; Kishtawal et al., 2011; Nguyen et al., 2022; P. Wang et al., 2022; S. Wang et al., 2022; X. Wang et al., 2022). One focus has been on quantifying the urban‐induced changes in precipitation concerning its intensity, frequency, and spatio‐temporal patterns (Doan et al., 2021; Gu et al., 2019; S. Huang, Zhang, Chen, Ma, Fu, et al., 2022; S. Huang, Zhang, Chen, Ma, Zeng, et al., 2022; S. Huang et al., 2022; J.

Urbanization has become a prominent anthropogenic activity globally, resulting in the substantial modification of temperature and rainfall in and around urban areas. Studies also indicate that rainfall exhibits an asymmetrical shift from light to extreme rainfall, causing both floods and droughts over different parts of the globe. However, to what extent urbanization influences the asymmetrical changes in rainfall and urban drought remains understudied. Accordingly, we provided an investigation of the urbanization effects on both rainfall and drought events from both statistical and model‐based perspectives. Results showed that urbanization generally increased heavy rainfall and decreased light rainfall in the rainy season over five urban agglomerations (i.e., Yangtze River Delta [YRD], Middle Region of Yangtze River [MRYR], Chengdu‐Chongqing, Guizhou, and Yunnan) in the Yangtze River Basin during 1981–2020. Specifically, urbanization contributed 42.7% and 30.8% of the increases of heavy rainfall in MRYR and YRD while 30.6% contribution to the decrease of light rainfall. Interestingly, results suggested that the urban regions were more prone to drought due to urbanization. Nevertheless, we also found that the urbanization effects showed some variabilities across different areas due to the interactions with complex terrains and climate patterns. Further model‐based simulations using the Weather Research and Forecasting model confirmed our findings and helped understand the potential underlying mechanism. The current research is expected to provide scientific knowledge for better urban planning and preparedness for urbanization‐induced hazards.

Abstract“Eastern Economic Corridor” is a development plan under the Thailand 4.0 scheme to revitalize the economy. However, it has influenced the environment through numerous infrastructural and industrial projects. The ecological environment is the most fragile component since it is susceptible to land use, land cover changes (LULCC) and rapid development. Meanwhile, there is currently a lack of comprehensive studies on spatial heterogeneity and future simulation of ecological environment quality (EEQ). Therefore, this study aims to analyze changes in EEQ and controlling factors and to predict near‐future EEQ by adopting an integrated approach of remote sensing and spatial analyses. It revealed that the regional EEQ has considerably fluctuated in the period 2013–2021. The dynamic areas, accounting for nearly half of the area, include ecologically degraded areas in coastal urban and surrounding areas and ecologically improved areas in the eastern forest and perennial plantations. Chonburi is the most vulnerable province due to its long coast with extensive urban infrastructures and industrial estates. These changes are an integrated consequence of natural and socioeconomic impacts. Particularly, LULCC, infrastructural projects, and climate are the most crucial contributors since they directly regulate the functions of the ecological environment, which will amplify the future changes of EEQ reflected via the near‐future prediction. This research identified key controlling factors and spatial heterogeneities that are useful for policymakers and local authorities to have appropriate local‐oriented plans for each area relevant to their uniqueness. Besides, regional plans should be also considered along with regional concerns such as LULCC, crop structures, water management, and green infrastructure, as well as legal interventions to promote sustainable development in this special economic zone.

“…Land surface temperature (LST) is crucial in urban climatology, which is an important indicator to reflect the change of urban global warming ( Pandey et al, 2022 , Zhou et al, 2021 ). Through LST monitoring, we can understand the urban climate change ( Nguyen et al, 2022 ), urban heat island effect ( Hidalgo-García and Arco-Díaz, 2022 ), etc. To understand the impact of urbanization on urban LST, experts and scholars have conducted a comprehensive discussion.…”
