Shoreline Changes Along the Coast of Mainland China—Time to Pause and Reflect?

Abstract: Shoreline changes are of great importance for evaluating the interaction between humans and ecosystems in coastal areas. They serve as a useful metric for assessing the ecological costs of socioeconomic developmental activities along the coast. In this paper, we present an assessment of shoreline changes along the eastern coast of mainland China from ~1990 to 2019 by applying a novel method recently developed by us. This method which we call the Nearest Distance Method (NDM) is used to make a detailed assessme… Show more

“…Most of the anthropogenic growth was the key reason for the coastline change in Qingdao over 19 years, while the natural factors were the secondary reasons [50]. e overall changes of shorelines along the coast of mainland China increased over the ∼1990-2019 period primarily for land reclamation and quay construction [61].…”

“…In the Qingdao coastal zone, the relative change in the sea level might be involved in modifying the shorelines. Over the past decades, the length of natural shorelines of each subtype has decreased, while artificial construction and quay shorelines of the artificial group have increased dramatically [61].…”

“…A coastal zone is a region that is bordered by both land and sea. Although it is continually changing, it represents a large natural and economic resource [1][2][3][4]. Furthermore, this microcosm is a very intricate ecosystem in which a variety of climatic, topographical, biological, and human-made factors infl uence erosion processes and, as a result, the retreat or advancement of the shoreline [5][6][7].…”

“…A coastal zone is a transition area between the land and water. It represents a very important natural and economic resource [1][2][3], despite the fact that it is constantly changing. In addition, this microcosm is a highly complex environment in which erosion phenomena, and therefore the retreat or advance of the coastline, are influenced by a wide range of meteorological, geographical, biological, and anthropogenic influences [4][5][6].…”
