Dynamics of artificial aquaculture ponds in China from 2015 to 2025

Artificial aquaculture ponds (AAPs) play a critical role in ensuring food security, supporting rural economic development, and shaping ecological landscapes. Yet, a nationally consistent, high-resolution, and individual-scale dataset of these ponds has been unavailable, hindering...

Groundwater Variability Is Strongly Linked to Soil Temperature Across Global Aquifers

Abstract Groundwater plays a critical role in land‐atmosphere interactions by regulating soil moisture and surface energy fluxes, yet its contribution to land‐surface processes and heat extremes remains poorly quantified globally. Here, we combine observation‐based aquifer record...

Identification and Driving Factor Analysis of Non-Grain Conversion of Cultivated Land in Qian’an City Using High-Resolution Remote Sensing Images

Global food security remains under severe strain, and the conversion of cultivated land to non-grain uses poses a significant threat to the stability of food production capacity. Driven by mineral development and urbanization, the risk of non-grain conversion in resource-based co...
