A wireless sensor network-based automatic monitoring system is designed for monitoring the life conditions of greenhouse vegetatables. The complete system architecture includes a group of sensor nodes, a base station, and an internet data center. For the design of wireless sensor node, the JN5139 micro-processor is adopted as the core component and the Zigbee protocol is used for wireless communication between nodes. With an ARM7 microprocessor and embedded ZKOS operating system, a proprietary gateway node is developed to achieve data influx, screen display, system configuration and GPRS based remote data forwarding. Through a Client/Server mode the management software for remote data center achieves real-time data distribution and time-series analysis. Besides, a GSM-short-message-based interface is developed for sending real-time environmental measurements, and for alarming when a measurement is beyond some pre-defined threshold. The whole system has been tested for over one year and satisfactory results have been observed, which indicate that this system is very useful for greenhouse environment monitoring.

Mapping Essential Urban Land Use Categories in Beijing with a Fast Area of Interest (AOI)-Based Method

Xiaoting Li, Tengyun Hu, Peng Gong, Shihong Du, Bin Chen, Xuecao Li, Qi Dai

Summary: This study utilized an area of interest (AOI)-based mapping approach to create an urban land use map in Beijing, achieving high classification accuracy and overall accuracy. The method offers a fast and accurate way for geographic sample collection, significantly reducing fieldwork and improving classification accuracy compared to previous methods, providing valuable support for urban planning and environmental policymaking.

The changes in species composition mediate direct effects of climate change on future fire regimes of boreal forests in northeastern China

Chao Huang, Hong S. He, Yu Liang, Todd J. Hawbaker, Paul D. Henne, Wenru Xu, Peng Gong, Zhiliang Zhu

Summary: Climate change has direct effects on fire regimes of boreal forests, altering fire behavior, seasons, and fuel moisture. Indirect effects, such as changes in species composition and fuel characteristics, are often simplified or neglected. Direct effects of climate change are likely to have a stronger influence on fire regimes in the short term, but vegetation changes will mediate these effects in the long term.

Urban Land Expansion from Scratch to Urban Agglomeration in the Federal District of Brazil in the Past 60 Years

Zhichao Li, Helen Gurgel, Minmin Li, Nadine Dessay, Peng Gong

Summary: This study quantifies the magnitude, patterns, modes, types, and efficiency of urban land expansion in the Federal District of Brazil and reveals implications within sustainable urban expansion thinking. The study finds that urban land continuously expanded and became more fragmented, mainly in the southwest and southwest-west directions. The importance of infilling and spontaneous growth alternated, and population growth and urban development policies promoted urban expansion.

Satellite mapping of urban built-up heights reveals extreme infrastructure gaps and inequalities in the Global South

Yuyu Zhou, Xuecao Li, Wei Chen, Lin Meng, Qiusheng Wu, Peng Gong, Karen C. Seto

Summary: Information on urban built-up infrastructure is crucial for understanding the impact of cities on the environment, economy, and society. However, the lack of data on built-up heights has limited our knowledge of urban infrastructure globally. This study developed a global atlas of urban built-up heights and found significant disparities in per capita infrastructure between the Global North and Global South, highlighting the substantial infrastructure demand in the Global South.

Identifying Potential Cropland Losses When Conserving 30% and 50% Earth with Different Approaches and Spatial Scales

Jianqiao Zhao, Yue Cao, Le Yu, Xiaoxuan Liu, Yichuan Shi, Xiaoping Liu, Rui Yang, Peng Gong

Summary: Biodiversity conservation is crucial for sustainable development and bold conservation targets to protect 30% or 50% of Earth have been proposed. Different targets, scales, and approaches will result in varying cropland losses, with the shared approach helping to reduce the number of countries facing significant losses. Adopting ambitious targets and the shared approach could ensure a sustainable future for Earth.
