“…Salah satu dampak utama yang seringkali muncul selama konstruksi smelter adalah perubahan lahan dan penebangan hutan [40], [41]. Zhuo dkk [42] memberikan pemahaman lebih lanjut tentang dampak konstruksi terhadap habitat dan keanekaragaman hayati di sekitar daerah pertambangan.…”

Dengan peningkatan aktivitas konstruksi gedung di seluruh dunia, dampak lingkungan telah menjadi perhatian utama yang memerlukan pertimbangan serius. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi konstruksi gedung sebagai sumber dampak lingkungan dan memberikan gambaran tentang metode analisis dampak lingkungan. Tinjauan terhadap proses konstruksi menyoroti kompleksitas tahapan perencanaan, konstruksi fisik, dan operasional. Fokus pada jenis bahan konstruksi membedakan antara material konvensional dan yang ramah lingkungan, serta menyoroti inovasi terkini. Pentingnya penggunaan teknologi modern dan dampaknya terhadap efisiensi dan lingkungan juga ditekankan. Tinjauan metode Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) menjadi kunci dalam menganalisis dampak lingkungan, dengan mempertimbangkan aspek sosial dan ekonomi. Melalui studi kasus, proyek konstruksi gedung dan smelter pertambangan diidentifikasi sebagai penyebab dampak lingkungan yang signifikan. Identifikasi ini menciptakan peluang untuk mitigasi dan inovasi yang sesuai dengan konteks. Tantangan mengurangi dampak lingkungan melibatkan koordinasi pemangku kepentingan dan perubahan perilaku industri, namun peluang inovasi berkelanjutan memberikan landasan positif menuju industri konstruksi yang lebih ramah lingkungan.

“…These disturbances include frequent natural disasters ( res, pests, and disease outbreaks) and human activities (deforestation and land use changes), which will considerably in uence carbon storage, biodiversity, and result in serious damage to forest structure and degradation of ecological functions (Marzo et al 2023;Spicer et al 2023; Zhang et al 2023). Road construction poses a destructive threat causing the deforestation of natural habitats (Forman et al 2003;Zhuo et al 2022), introduction of chemicals and heavy metals (Ma et al 2018), alteration of hydrological processes and microclimate (Kastridis 2020; Sheridan and Noske 2007), and establishment of invasive plant species (Li et al 2022), often with irreversible impacts on ecosystems. With the continuous advancement of urbanization and economic growth, the expansion and renovation of road networks are inevitable (Rentch et al 2005).…”

Road construction constitutes a significant disruption to natural ecosystems. Globally, high-elevation regions are among the most fragile and sensitive ecosystems, while systematic information regarding the impact of road construction on soil properties and plant communities in these regions remains scarce. In this study, paired plots were established along the road route from Yunnan Province to Tibet Autonomous Region in Southwest China, with elevation ranging from 2,400 m to 4,900 m. Results revealed the restoration of soil properties post-disturbance had been a multifaceted and long-term progress. Specifically, disturbed plots exhibited a significant increase in soil pH, while soil moisture, TC, TN, TP, NH4-N, and AK suffered substantial loss. Moreover, the strong recovery ability of shrub and herbaceous species was observed in our study, while tree communities were difficult to revert to their original state. Furthermore, the influence of elevation on vegetation restoration also varied depending on plant life forms. In light of these findings, appropriate strategies were proposed to mitigate the negative impacts and promote the ecosystem recovery after road construction in these ecologically fragile regions.

BACKGROUNDThe range of Glires is influenced by human activities and climate change. However, the extent to which human activities and environmental changes have contributed to this relationship remains unclear. We examined alterations in the distribution changes and driving factors of the Himalayan marmot, plateau pika, and plateau zokor on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) using the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model and a geographical detector (Geodetector).RESULTSThe MaxEnt model showed that the contribution rates of the human footprint index (HFI) to the distribution patterns of the three types of Glires were 46.70%, 58.70%, and 59.50%, respectively. The Geodetector results showed that the distribution pattern of the Himalayan marmot on the QTP was influenced by altitude and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). The distribution patterns for plateau pikas and plateau zokors were driven by HFI and NDVI. Climate has played a substantial role in shaping suitable habitats for these three Glires on the QTP. Their suitable area is expected to decrease over the next 30–50 years, along with their niche breadth and overlap. Future suitable habitats for the three Glires tended to shift toward higher latitudes on the QTP.CONCLUSIONThese findings underscore the impacts of environmental and human factors on the distribution of the three Glires on the QTP. They have enhanced our understanding of the intricate relationships between Glires niches and environments. This can aid in identifying necessary interventions for developing effective early warning systems and prevention strategies to mitigate Glires infestations and plague epidemics on the QTP. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
