Topic Information

Dear Colleagues, 

The processes of the environment exert an immense and profound influence on all human productions and life. The undeniable effects of global warming on international and regional environments, such as water, land and atmosphere, energy style, and economic activities, call for innovative science and technology to mitigate its influences.

The world is currently undergoing sci-tech revolutions and industrial transformations on a larger scale and in greater depth than ever before. As a frontier of science and technology, digital technology is key to meeting the challenges of society, environment, and economy, which is also a vital element for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Digital technologies, such as earth observations, data science, big data, and artificial intelligence, are integrating into every aspect of society.

The Earth's environment is sensitively impacted by and responds to climate actions, especially south Asian regions with rich hydrometeorological events, snow-ice-covered plateaus, and the Earth's poles. The scientific and decision-making concerns in these areas include: natural physical environmental changes; the interactions between climate actions and the environment; the strategies for climate actions to construct a future society–environment nexus; and how digital technologies, e.g., remote sensing, big data, communication, navigation, and ICT can assist the implementation of environmental assessments.

Digital Environment Technology (DET) employs frontier digital technology, including Big Earth Data, artificial intelligence, aerospace technology, big data, and data science to address the challenges raised by the changes in the Earth's environment, assist in global development and address the UN SDGs.

This Topic aims to deepen and advance our present understanding of essential regional environmental variables and their observations; novel data technology; high value-added data implementation; spatial–temporal variations; international data sharing and data management principles; the impact and interaction between climate actions and the environment; strategies for climate change mitigation and adaption based on the interaction between climate action and environment in a changing world and encouraging the sharing of cutting-edge methodologies and successful practices.

This Topic also welcomes technologies, methods, data, tools, platforms, and systems associated with the above issues. Contributions may be related to remote sensing, in-situ observation, and reanalysis or forecast modeling about the environment.

Sustainable development has become a scientific and decision-making consensus in countries and regions around the world. The current research on sustainable development mainly focuses on urban areas with a high level of economic development and intensive land use. Small-scale research, especially for underdeveloped areas, is required to reveal the spatial patterns and differences within administrative units. This study focuses on 1241 towns in Guangxi to assess the sustainable development process and variations at the township scale from 2014 to 2020 by using the entropy method, the coupled coordination degree method, and cluster analysis. The results show that the average sustainable development goal composite index (SDGCI) of towns in Guangxi is around 0.12, and their overall sustainable development level is low. The SDGCI of towns in the central region shows an increasing trend, while that in the northern and southern regions shows a decreasing trend. Then, the SDGs are divided into three systems, namely people, planet, and prosperity. The prosperity system contributes the most to the overall SDGCI, and the low values of the people and planet systems are the reason for the low level of sustainable development in Guangxi. The coupling degree of the SDGCI among the three systems is at a high level, and the level of coupling coordination degree is good, which indicates high consistency and close linkage of the towns in Guangxi when pursuing the SDGs. The results of hierarchical cluster analysis show that towns in Guangxi can be divided into three categories to adapt to different features based on SDGCI values. The assessment of SDG process in towns in Guangxi could guide local governments to refine their development policy, formulate and adjust development strategies in a targeted manner, and promote balanced and sustainable development under townships.

Under the conditions of economic integration and globalization, the importance of national innovation competitiveness is rapidly increasing. In order to study what combination of conditions can generate higher national innovation competitiveness, this study proposes an improved integrated framework for national innovation competitiveness and it examines the allocation conditions that affect the innovation competitiveness of countries with different income levels using data from the Global Competitiveness Report 2019. This research finds that, first, the means of achieving high innovation competitiveness output are more diversified for high-income and upper-middle-income countries, with countries at these two economic levels achieving high innovation competitiveness output in three scenarios. Second, lower-middle-income countries have a more homogeneous configuration for achieving high innovation competitiveness outputs, with only one scenario, which still holds after a series of robustness tests. Third, for high-income countries, commercialization is a key element affecting their innovation competitiveness enhancement. The study not only bridges the gap between existing theories and research methods but also provides a useful reference for countries at different levels of economic development to improve their innovation competitiveness.

The rapid pace of urbanization and the emergence of social challenges, including an aging population and increased labor costs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, have underscored the urgency to explore smart city solutions. Within these technologically advanced urban environments, zoos have assumed a pivotal role that extends beyond their recreational functions. They face labor cost challenges and ecological considerations while actively contributing to wildlife conservation, environmental education, and scientific research. Zoos foster a connection with nature, promote biodiversity awareness, and offer a valuable space for citizens, thereby directly supporting the pillars of sustainability, public engagement, and technological innovation in smart cities. This study employs a quantitative analysis to assess the alignment between smart projects and the distinctive characteristics of Kyoto Zoo. Through questionnaires, we collected feedback on performance and importance, and subsequently employed the analytic hierarchy process and the fuzzy integrated evaluation method to obtain quantitative results. The findings reveal the high level of intelligence exhibited by Kyoto Zoo, and the analysis provides insightful guidance that can be applied to other urban facilities. At the same time, we compared Kyoto Zoo with Ueno Zoo to see the difference in intellectualization achievements in different contexts in terms of data and systems. Full article

The biophysical composition index (BCI)-based linear spectral mixture model (LSMM) is used in this study to extract the impervious surface (IS), vegetation, and soil coverage of the main urban region (MUR) of Hefei City over the 2001–2021 period. In addition, the Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number (SCS-CN) model is first applied to simulate the surface runoff (SR) in the MUR of Hefei City over the past 21 years, then assessed for simulation accuracy using typical waterlogging points in the study area. On this basis, the spatiotemporal evolution of IS and SR and their relationships in the MUR of Hefei City are investigated and discussed in this study. The obtained results showed that (1) the root-mean-square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and systematic error (SE) values of the BCI index-based LSMM are smaller than those of the LSMM, demonstrating a higher extraction accuracy of urban IS extraction of the BCI index-based LSMM. (2) The IS area of the MUR of Hefei City exhibits an increasing trend from 107.555 km² in 2001 to 387.660 km² in 2021. In addition, the change rate and change intensity values indicate an increasing–decreasing–increasing trend. The highest change rate and change intensity values are 24.839 km²/year and 23.094%, respectively, and were observed in the 2001–2005 period. (3) The simulated SR (165–195 mm) in the MUR of Hefei City demonstrates an increasing trend in the 2001–2021 period at a rainfall intensity value of 200 mm/d. In addition, the simulated SR amount in the central area exhibits slight changes, while that in the surrounding areas shows substantial variations. (4) The distribution of IS and SR in the MUR of Hefei City reveals strong directional variations, which are all affected by geographical conditions. The IS coverage and SR show high positive correlation coefficients in different years. (5) The present study provides primary data for effective urban planning, water resources management and regulation, and disaster prevention and mitigation in Hefei City, as well as a scientific reference for future studies on urban IS, SR, and their quantitative relationships in other regions.

Urbanization, generally across developing countries, is accelerating at an ever-increasing pace along with population growth. The growth of built-up space is often disproportionate with the population growth rate, creating multiple stresses to the environment and hindering sustainable development. To account for this disproportionality, the SDG 11.3.1 indicator “Ratio of land consumption rate (LCR) to Population growth rate (PGR)” was developed to achieve SDG 11 and its integrated SDGs. This study assessed the variations in the LCR, PGR, and LCRPGR from 2000~2020, taking four different intervals of 5 years across Thailand, its provinces and regions by adopting the methodology recommended by UN-Habitat. A combined approach of remote sensing and statistical analysis was employed for assessing urban land use efficiency, the growth of built-up space and the relationship between the LCR and PGR in temporal as well as spatial dimensions. It was found that urban expansion is disproportionate with the PGR in most of the provinces and during a majority of the time intervals with the average LCRPGR of 0.70 (2000~2005), 1.6 (2005~2010), 0.40 (2010~2015) and 1.12 (2015~2020). Some of the studied periods (2005~2010 and 2015~2020) were dominated by the increasing built-up space in Thai provinces and regions as compared to the population growth rate, leading to higher per capita land consumption, and some experienced greater population growth, and rising urban compactness, while a few provinces tended towards stability, which was influenced by demographic factors and economic development. The average annual growth rate of built-up areas has declined in recent years across all the regions of Thailand. Further, this study is pivotal for urban planners and policymakers to promote more sustainable growth in Thai provinces and regions. Full article

The thermal infrared data of Fengyun 4A (FY-4A) geostationary meteorological satellite can be used to retrieve hourly land surface temperature (LST). In this paper, seven candidate algorithms are compared and evaluated. The Ulivieri (1985) algorithm is determined to be optimal for the algorithm of FY-4A LST official products. The refined algorithm coefficients for distinguishing dry and moist atmosphere were established for daytime and nighttime, respectively. Then, FY-4A LST official products under clear-sky conditions are produced. The validation results show that: (1) Compared with in-situ measured LST data at the HeBi crop measurement network, the root mean square errors (RMSE) were 2.139 and 2.447 K. Compared with in-situ measured LST data at Naqu alpine meadow site of Tibet plateau, the RMSE was 2.86 K. (2) When compared with the MODIS LST product, the RMSE was 1.64, 2.17, 2.6, and 1.73 K in March, July, October, and December, respectively. By the bias long-time change at a single site, RMSE of the XLHT (city) and GZH (desert) sites were 2.735 and 2.97 K, respectively. Overall, the preferred algorithm exhibits good accuracy and meets the required accuracy of the FY-4A mission. Full article

This study employed the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S-O-R) framework to investigate how social support and quality of the community affect the purpose to donate through donation-based crowdfunding. The online poll generated 359 responses, and the data were statistically analysed using the partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach. Path coefficient analysis is also applied to figure out the outcomes of the relationships between the components. The results showed that service and system quality greatly influenced the donors’ trust towards the donation-based crowdfunding. In addition, statistics showed that trust, quality of services, information value, and emotional support played a substantial role in explaining the donation purposes. The results could help donation-based crowdfunding platforms to enhance their success rate of donation campaigns. This study also provided a management application for each relationship and suggested helpful measures in attracting potential donors and retaining them. Full article

Land use–land cover (LULC) is an important feature for ecological environment research, land resource management and evaluation. Although global high-resolution LULC data sets are booming, their regional performances were still evaluated in limited regions. To demonstrate the local applicability of global LULC data products, six emerging LULC data products were evaluated and compared in Guangxi, China. The six products used are European Space Agency GlobCover (ESAGC), ESRI Land Use–Land Cover (ESRI–LULC), Finer Resolution Observation and Monitoring of Global Land Cover (FROM–GLC), the China Land Cover Dataset (CLCD), the Global Land Cover product with Fine Classification System at 30 m (GLC_FCS30) and GlobeLand30 (GLC30). Reference data were obtained from the local government statistical yearbook and high-resolution remote sensing images on Google Earth. The results showed that CLCD, ESRI–LULC and GLC30 were found to agree well with the forest reference data, with the highest correlation coefficient of 0.999. For the cropland areas, GLC30, CLCD and ESAGC agreed well with the reference data, and the highest correlation coefficient was 0.957. Combined with the comparison with the high-resolution images obtained by Google Earth, we finally concluded that ESAGC, CLCD and GLC30 can best represent the LULCs in Guangxi. Furthermore, the spatial consistency analysis showed that three or more products identified the same LULC type as high as 96.98% of the area. We suggest that majority voting might be applied to global LULC products to provide fused products with better performances on a regional or local scale to avoid the error caused by a single data product.

Large-scale, high-input, and intensified agriculture poses threats to sustainable agroecosystems and their inherent biodiversity. The EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) covers a great number of nature conservation programs (Agri-Environment and Climate Measures, AECM) aiming to encourage sustainable agriculture. Currently, farmers are not encouraged to broadly implement these measures due to the lack of structured information, overly complicated and unclear application procedures, and a high risk of sanctions. In addition, the current structures are associated with time-consuming monitoring and control procedures for the paying agencies. Digital technologies can offer valuable assistance to circumvent relevant barriers and limitations and support a broader uptake of AECM. NatApp is a digital tool that supports and guides farmers through the complete process of choosing, applying, implementing, and documenting AECM on their fields in accordance with legal requirements in Germany. We introduce the concept of NatApp and analyze how it can simplify and encourage the uptake and implementation of AECM. This study identifies its unique features for the provision of information and documentation opportunities compared with other digital farming tools focused on sustainable agriculture and outline how it can support farmers to actively contribute to more sustainable agriculture.

The geolocation accuracy of spaceborne LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) data is important for quantitative forest inventory. Geolocation errors in Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) footprints are almost unavoidable because of the instability of orbital parameter estimation and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) positioning accuracy. This study calculates the horizontal geolocation error of multiple temporal GEDI footprints using a waveform matching method, which compares original GEDI waveforms with the corresponding simulated waveforms from airborne LiDAR point clouds. The results show that the GEDI footprint geolocation error varies from 3.04 m to 65.03 m. In particular, the footprints from good orbit data perform better than those from weak orbit data, while the nighttime and daytime footprints perform similarly. After removing the system error, the average waveform similarity coefficient of multi-temporal footprints increases obviously in low-waveform-similarity footprints, especially in weak orbit footprints. When the waveform matching effect is measured using the threshold of the waveform similarity coefficient, the waveform matching method can significantly improve up to 32% of the temporal GEDI footprint datasets from a poor matching effect to a good matching effect. In the improvement of the ratio of individual footprint waveform similarity, the mean value of the training set and test set is about two thirds, but the variance in the test set is large. Our study first quantifies the geolocation error of the newest version of GEDI footprints (Version 2). Future research should focus on the improvement of the detail of the waveform matching method and the combination of the terrain matching method with GEDI waveform LiDAR. Full article
