Ecological Waves at Tourist Attractions on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Promote Greenness of Surrounding Vegetation by Zitao Yang, Li Tian

“…By combining the principle of ripple effects, it analyzes the impact of urban attractions on urban vegetation environments. The study found that attractions on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have a positive ecological effect on the surrounding vegetation, the positive ecological effect of suburban attractions has a distance threshold, effectively promoting vegetation greenness within a range of 6–14 km, and the ecological effect disappears beyond 14 km. …”
