Temporal and Spatial Variations in Landscape Pattern–Function Risk Coupling over 20 Years in the Dry–Hot Valley of the Jinsha River in China by Shan Zhou, Zhaorong Ou, Junming Zhang, Limin Dong, Xiangfei Li, Zhihua Deng, Yongyu Sun, Xinteng Qiu

“…Existing research primarily emphasizes ecological risks caused by landscape alterations, while overlooking vulnerable characteristics of landscape functions; particularly lacking are studies on the driving mechanism of landscape ecological risk through the reciprocal relationship between landscape pattern risk and function risk. Based on these issues, this paper constructed a landscape pattern risk index (<i>LPRI</i>), a landscape function risk index (<i>LFRI</i>), and a landscape ecological risk index (<i>LERI</i>) in the counties of the dry–hot valley of the Jinsha River in southwest China. …”

SEISMIC PICTURE OF A FAULT ZONE. WHAT CAN BE GAINED FROM THE ANALYSIS OF FINE PATTERNS OF SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF WEAK EARTHQUAKE CENTERS? by Gevorg G. Kocharyan, Svetlana B. Kishkina, Aleksey A. Ostapchuk

“…It is hoped that studies of both fine spatial and temporal patterns of seismicity in the vicinity of fault zones will allow to find reliable pinpoints for definition of both place and time for implementation of technogenic impacts.In our opinion, the implemented study demonstrates the burning need to establish test sites with dense and wellequipped local seismic networks in Russia.…”

Long-term mean climate and seasonal variability drive spatial patterns of forage production fluctuation trends across California annual grasslands by Zheng Li, Leslie M Roche, Steven Ostoja, Yufang Jin

“…The RF model based solely on climate variables revealed that spatial patterns of trends in temporal fluctuations of forage production were mostly driven by long-term climatic means; specifically, drier areas with a long-term mean growing season (GS) precipitation below ∼500 mm, or warmer areas with long-term mean minimum temperatures above ∼6 °C, were more likely to exhibit significant increasing trends in forage production fluctuations. …”
