Temporally enhanced RSEI and nighttime lights reveal long-term ecological changes and effective protection in China’s inaugural national parks by Chunhui Wen, Tengfei Long, Guojin He, Weili Jiao, Wei Jiang

“…The results indicate that: 1) The temporally enhanced RSEI (tRSEI) effectively integrates the dynamic changes of multiple variables and offers better temporal comparability for long-term ecological monitoring; 2) From 2000 to 2022, the ecological environment quality within the inaugural NPs significantly improved, with more noticeable improvements observed following the implementation of pilot conservation programs; 3) The spatial variation in ecological quality within these NPs is driven by the interaction of multiple factors, including human activities, climate variability, and topographical conditions, with significant differences among the parks; 4) Although overall NTL intensity both inside and outside the NPs increased between 2000 and 2022, especially with accelerated growth in surrounding areas post-pilot program implementation, NTL levels within the parks remained relatively low. …”
