Article Abstract

The accurate identification and monitoring of urban green space is of great significance in urban planning and ecological management. In view of the complex background of urban green space, the traditional remote sensing classification technology is prone to the problem of misalignment and adhesion. Taking Yuhua District of Changsha City as the research area and Gaofen-2 (GF-2) remote sensing image as the data source, we proposed a remote sensing classification method for urban green space based on the LA-UNet model, which was based on the UNet model. We introduced the DWTCA channel attention mechanism module to improve the attention of the network to green space information, and used the CARAFE module to up sample the extracted features to achieve accurate classification of trees, shrubs and other land types in the complex background of the city. The results showed that the LA-UNet model had the best classification effect of urban green space when using standard false color remote sensing images. The overall accuracy and mean intersection over union were 96.3% and 90.9%, which were 2.8% and 6.1% higher than the UNet model, respectively. In the Potsdam public dataset, the overall accuracy and mean intersection over union of the LA-UNet model were also better than those of the UNet model, which increased by 0.9% and 1.8%, respectively, indicating that the LA-UNet model had good robustness and versatility. In summary, the proposed LA-UNet model could effectively alleviate the problems of misalignment and adhesion of urban green space, with advantages in the remote sensing classification of urban green space. The improved LA-UNet model had a smaller parameter volume than the UNet model, which could effectively improve the classification accuracy of urban green space. This study would provide a methodological reference for the accurate classification and understanding the spatial distribution of urban green space.

Contrasting age-dependent leaf acclimation strategies drive vegetation greening across deciduous broadleaf forests in mid- to high latitudes.

Increasing leaf area and extending vegetation growing seasons are two primary drivers of global greening, which has emerged as one of the most significant responses to climate change. However, it remains unclear how these two leaf acclimation strategies would vary across forests at a large spatial scale. Here, using multiple satellite-based datasets and field measurements, we analysed the temporal changes (Δ) in maximal leaf area index (LAI) and length of the growing season (LOS) from 2002 to 2021 across deciduous broadleaf forests (DBFs) in the middle to high latitudes.

Urban green space disparities persist amid rapid urbanization, widening the supply-demand gap between parks and developed area. Population density is a critical determinant in estimating park visitors, defining suitable park locations, and allocating facilities for park accessibility. Conventionally, population density data were used as a foundational basis for urban green space planning decisions, often derived from sources like the US Census Bureau, primarily reflecting "nighttime residential" distribution.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major health concern in Korea, with a higher burden of acute exacerbations (AE-COPD) compared to Western populations. Environmental exposures such as smoking and air pollution are known contributors, but the impact of urban green space remains underexplored.

Methods: We conducted a cohort study using the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort (2006-2019), including 5,171 patients aged ≥40 years with at least two COPD-related prescriptions within one year.

Background: Although the postpartum period is an opportunity to promote long-term well-being and health systems usage, system complexities limit patients' abilities to optimize their longitudinal health. Postpartum patient navigation, an intervention that assists individuals in navigating health systems, is a novel innovation that may mitigate barriers to longitudinal care.

Methods: Within a recently completed randomized controlled trial (RCT), we conducted a secondary analysis of interviews with two navigators and a subset ( = 15) of navigated participants to describe gaps in the health care system.

Urban green areas are vital yet underexplored reservoirs of microbial diversity in cities. This study examines myxomycete communities in Zijin Mountain National Forest Park, a subtropical urban forest in Nanjing, China, across four seasons and multiple forest types. Combining field collections and moist chamber cultures, we documented 60 species from 906 occurrence records.
