Spatial and temporal evolution of ecotourism development level and its driving factors under the perspective of sustainable development: the case of Ili river valley. by Pengkai Zhao, Haojie Sun, Jiangling Hu, Xinyu Zhao, Changying Song, Xueting Xu

“…The data indicates that: (1) With a notably diverse spatial structure, the growth rate of ecotourism varies among the counties and cities in the Ili River Valley. (2) The level of comprehensive ecotourism development is continuously improving, with significant gradient differences in spatial distribution, forming a dynamic spatial pattern of 'high in the north and low in the south.' (3) The standard deviation ellipses of each year show a "northwest - southeast" direction, and basically form a stable migration rule from northwest to southeast; (4) The level of tourism income and economic development have a significant impact on the development of ecotourism, and the influence of tourism reception capacity and industrial structure level is gradually enhanced, while the promotion effect of ecological environment level is not significant. …”

Analysis of the Evolution Law of Mining‐Induced Water Flowing Fracture of Composite Hard Roof in the Border Mining Area of Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi by Jiang Xiao, Yihui Wang, Boyuan Zhang, Tongxiaoyu Wang, Yujiang Liu, Yulin Wang, Yachao Sun

“…The results show that the overburden rock transport in the quarry is controlled by the composite rock beams, and the high rock beams will form a “masonry beam” structure, while the low rock beams will form a “step” structure under the influence of secondary displacement and rotation; the superposition of the initial breakage of the composite rock beam and the cycle breakage forms the “pulse” water influx characteristic and the “slow increase—sudden increase—stable” fissure development law; the change of the number of fractures is closely related to the transportation of the composite rock beams, which is divided into three stages of “slow growth‐accelerated growth‐periodic increase.” …”

Research on the evolution and prediction of the heights of water-conducting fracture zones in overlying rocks during layered mining of extremely thick coal seams by MENG Hailun, CHENG Xianggang, QIAO Wei

“…The research results showed that: ① During layered mining of extremely thick coal seams, the hard rock strata and inferior key strata within the capping range exhibited a hinged structure, and the overall deformation and failure of the overlying rocks presented an arched structure. ② The impact of mining activities caused the roof overlying rocks to fracture and collapse, with horizontal fractures continuously developing and vertical fractures extending upwards. …”
