Temporal and Spatial Evolution and Driving Force Analysis of Water Conservation Function in Yunnan Province Based on Climate and Land Use Change by LIU Fengru, ZHAO Junsan, LIN Yilin, CHEN Guoping, ZHANG Longjiang, PENG Sufen

“…[Results] (1) From 2000 to 2030, the total area of cultivated land and unused land decreased, the area of water area and construction land increased gradually, and the forest land and grassland changed in a wavy line; The trend of land use change in different scenarios is roughly the same, namely: grassland > construction land > cultivated land > unused land > water area > forest land. (2) From 2000 to 2020, water conservation showed a gradually decreasing trend, decreasing by 2.27×109m3; Under the influence of different climate and land use models, the water conservation under different scenarios is different, and the water conservation under the SSP2-4.5 scenario is the highest, which is 9.338×109m3. …”

From Imbalance to Synergy: The Coupling Coordination of Digital Inclusive Finance and Urban Ecological Resilience in the Yangtze River Economic Belt by Xi Chen, Xuan Huang, Tonghui Yu, Yu Zhang, Xufeng Cui

“…The results show that (1) The CCD between DIF and UER in the YREB has increased annually from 2011 to 2020. However, there are persistent imbalances, with an overall low level of coordination and uneven spatial development, and a trend of “higher coordination in the east and lower coordination in the west”. (2) The overall CCD of the YREB has reached at least the primary coordination level, with the coupling enhancement speed ranked as “downstream > midstream > upstream”, and regional differences decreasing. (3) The decoupling analysis reveals a predominant decoupling trend between DIF and UER, indicating that the digitization of financial services has not concurrently increased ecological pressures. (4) The obstacle degree analysis identifies resilience and digitalization as major barriers hindering CCD. …”
