TLDR
Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effects of physical, socioeconomic, and neighborhood factors on urban expansion and their temporal dynamics using binary logistic regression, and the relative importance of the three types of driving factors was examined using variance partitioning.About:

Strategic adjustment of land use policy under the economic transformation
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper explored the strategic adjustment of land use policy in China's new normal and proposed the optimization of urban-rural spatial structure with a focus on urbanrural coordinated development in future land development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the spatial configuration of trees on urban heat mitigation: A comparative study
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between the spatial configuration of trees and land surface temperature (LST) using different statistical approaches, and conducted the analyses using spatial units of different sizes, based on trees mapped from 1-m high resolution imagery.

The rapid and massive urban and industrial land expansions in China between 1990 and 2010: A CLUD-based analysis of their trajectories, patterns, and drivers
TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the trajectories, patterns, and drivers of these two intertwining processes at a 5-year interval from 1990 to 2010 to identify their trajectories and spatiotemporal patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
The varying driving forces of urban expansion in China: Insights from a spatial-temporal analysis
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors examined the driving mechanisms and forces of urban expansion and their effects across different regions in China in different periods and found that multiple factors including socioeconomic, physical, proximity, accessibility, and neighborhood factors have driven urban expansion in China.

Land Use/Land Cover Dynamics and Modeling of Urban Land Expansion by the Integration of Cellular Automata and Markov Chain
TL;DR: The past and present land-use/land-cover (LULC) changes and urban expansion pattern for the cities of the Kathmandu valley and their surroundings using Landsat satellite images from 1988 to 2016 is explored.

TL;DR: Urban ecology integrates natural and social sciences to study these radically altered local environments and their regional and global effects of an increasingly urbanized world.

A note on a general definition of the coefficient of determination
TL;DR: In this article, a generalization of the coefficient of determination R2 to general regression models is discussed, and a modification of an earlier definition to allow for discrete models is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urbanization as a major cause of biotic homogenization
TL;DR: In this paper, a basic conservation challenge is that urban biota is often quite diverse and very abundant, and that, because so many urban species are immigrants adapting to city habitats, urbanites of all income levels become increasingly disconnected from local indigenous species and their natural ecosystems.

Impact of urbanization and land-use change on climate
Eugenia Kalnay,Ming Cai +1 more
TL;DR: The difference between trends in observed surface temperatures in the continental United States and the corresponding trends in a reconstruction of surface temperatures determined from a reanalysis of global weather over the past 50 years is used to estimate the impact of land-use changes on surface warming.

Effects of urbanization on species richness: A review of plants and animals
TL;DR: 105 studies on the effects of urbanization on the species richness of non-avian species: mammals, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates and plants are reviewed, including the importance of nonnative species importation, spatial heterogeneity, intermediate disturbance and scale as major factors influencing species richness.
