TL;DR: This study estimated the land-use carbon emissions and carbon intensities of the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration (YRDUA)—which consists of 26 eastern Chinese cities—from Landsat image data and socio-economic statistics in 1995, 2005, and 2015 and can provide useful insights into the assignment of carbon reduction tasks within the YRDUA.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated environmental driving forces from land use planning (LUPF), along with the conception, components, scope, and impact of LUPF, and concluded that the impacts originated from the implementation of land use on a regional environment, which are characterized by four aspects: magnitude, direction, action point, and its owner.

TL;DR: A rule-based classification based on multi-seasonal imagery in Lianyungang City, a coastal city in China, provides a guidance to improve accuracy for coastal areas with distinct LULC temporal spectral features.

TL;DR: The modified remote sensing Penman–Monteith (RS-PM) model is applied, which has provided a new regional ET estimation method with the better accuracy for the urban complex underlying surface, and provides a new perspective for the improvement of urban thermal comfort.

TL;DR: A modified multi-source parallel model based on ASTER data, which has made improvements in parameterization and model accuracy, is presented, which can obtain the highest accuracy when applied to vegetation-dominated areas.
