481 to 0.798 after calibrated by the resampled measured spectrum model, which effectively enhanced the accuracy in estimating the soil Na+ content at large scale. We successfully made the spatial transformation of soil Na+ content from point to surface. Our results provided a scientific reference for Sentinel-2B image to monitor Na+ content in salinized soil.The distribution pattern of biological soil crusts (biocrusts) is one of the main factors affecting runoff and sediment yield. The relationship between runoff and sediment yield and biocrusts' distribution pattern is not clear, which hinders understanding the mechanism underlying the effects of biocrusts on runoff and sediment from slopes. To fill the knowledge gap, we investigated the relationship between the landscape indices of three biocrusts' distribution patterns, i.e. zonation, chessboard and random, and the hydraulic parameters, using of simulated rainfall experiments and landscape ecology methods. The results showed that biocrust significantly affected the erosion force of slopes and that its distribution pattern could affect slope erosion dynamics. Compared to bare soil, the presence of biocrusts significantly reduced the runoff velocity (54.6%) and Froude number (67.0%), increased the runoff depth (86.2%) and Darcy-Weisbach resistance coefficient (10.68 times), but did not affect the Reynolds number and runoff power. Vemurafenib datasheet Expect for the runoff depth, there were significant differences in the hydraulic parameters of the three biocrusts' distribution patterns, with the random pattern having the strongest impacts on the dynamics of slope erosion. Based on factor analysis and cluster analysis, five indices of percentage of patch to landscape area, patch density, landscape shape index, patch cohesion and splitting could be used as the indicators for the distribution characteristics of biocrust patches. The patch cohesion and splitting of biocrust patches were the main distribution pattern indices of the hydrodynamics of surface runoff. As the patches patch cohesion decreased, the splitting increased, which caused the surface runoff velocity increase, the resistance decrease, and the slope erosion became more severe.The establishment of protected areas is the bottom line of ecological security for promoting the construction of ecological civilization and supporting economic and social development, which is an important strategy to realize sustainable development and maintain ecological security. In order to reveal the large spatial process of protected areas and its influencing factors, we used the methods of nearest neighbor index, kernel density, and standard deviational ellipse to analyze the temporal-spatial variation characteristics of the protected areas in Guizhou Province from 2002 to 2017, as well as the influencing factors combined with geo-detectors. The results showed that, during the study period, the number, area, and types of protected areas in Guizhou Province showed a diversified and rapid development, forming a protected area system with nature reserves, forest parks and scenic spots as the main body and wetland parks, geoparks and natural heritage sites as the supplement. The spatial cohesion of protecWe built a comprehensive evaluation index system of urbanization in Chengdu-Chongqing (Cheng-Yu) urban agglomeration from four subsystems, including the economic, social, ecological, and urban and rural coordination. The comprehensive evaluation index system of eco-environment was constructed by combining ecological environment carrying capacity and ecological flexibi-lity. The coupling coordination degree model was applied to quantify the coupling coordination degree between urbanization and eco-environment in the prefecture-level cities of Cheng-Yu urban agglo-meration from 2005 to 2018. With GIS spatial analysis, phenomenon analysis and Tapio model, we analyzed the interaction type, evolution path and path of decoupling between urbanization and eco-environment in the prefecture-level cities of Cheng-Yu urban agglomeration. The results showed that the urbanization quality of Cheng-Yu urban agglomeration showed a trend of fluctuation and rise during the study period. Both Chengdu and Chongqing as high value opment. Hechuan, Zigong and a few other cities showed "sinking" development. The growth rates of both ecological environment and urbanization were positive. The decoupling state of urbanization and ecological environment was mainly characterized by weak decoupling and expansion connection.Analyzing the evolution and heterogeneity patterns of resources' ecological efficiency in China could provide reference for balancing regional development and improving the ecological efficiency of resource recycling. With the panel data of resource recycling in 26 provinces (cities, regions), we measured the ecological efficiency during 2004 to 2017 by the super efficiency DEA model, and analyzed the evolution of ecological efficiency and heterogeneity patterns based on the regionalization. The results showed that, from 2004 to 2017, the ecological efficiency of resource recycling was increasing yearly, with a mean annual growth potential of 1.5%, showing an spatially increasing trend from inland to coast. The ecological efficiency in China showed significant spatial correlation, with clustering character among provinces. During 2004 to 2017, the overall correlation decreased yearly due to the strong radiation effect of high level provinces. Because of the decrease of differentiation in the north, northeast, east, central, south, southwest and northwest in China, the spatial heterogeneity of ecological efficiency of resource recycling in China turned to relieve, which was weakened by the increasing heterogeneity in the southwest region.To find out the recessive factors of soil degradation threatening the healthy development of Weibei apple orchards, we examined soil compaction status and its inducing factors. This study could provide a theoretical basis for apple orchard scientific management. We evalua-ted the changes of soil bulk density and compaction with the depth of soil layer in 0-60 cm in four apple orchards with various planting period, including <10 years (4-6 years), 10-20 years (14-16 years) and ＞20 years (24-26 years). The location and degradation degree of soil compaction in orchard were investigated. Through analyzing the number of soil aggregates and the stability, soil clay and organic matter contents, we tried to find the reasons for the internal compacting of soil in Weibei orchards. The results showed that soil bulk density and compactness in the 0-60 cm soil layer significantly increased with increasing planting years and soil depth. With the 20 cm soil layer as a boundary, soil of Weibei orchards in different planting years showed obvious variation characteristics of loose in upper and compact in lower.
