As a world-class urban agglomeration, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) has experienced substantial land-cover restructuring driven by urbanization, necessitating high temporal resolution monitoring to capture dynamic surface processes. However, traditional land-cover products cannot capture intra-annual dynamics effectively due to their limited update cycles. Therefore, this study generates a publicly accessible dynamic land-cover dataset for the GBA spanning 2000-2022, with a 30-meter spatial resolution and a 15-day temporal resolution. This dataset achieves an overall accuracy of 97.46%, an average accuracy of 94.5%, an F1 score of 95.19%, and a kappa coefficient of 96.78%. The validation results indicated that this dataset significantly enhances the detection of short-term land cover transitions and facilitates the characterization of critical environmental patterns. We anticipate it will serve as a baseline for monitoring agricultural growing cycles, tracking vegetation phenological shifts, and identifying disturbances in forests and croplands caused by natural hazards or anthropogenic activities.

Alpine ecosystems are critical for water regulation but highly sensitive to climate change. In the Three-River Source Region (TRSR) of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, changes in temperature, precipitation, and large-scale ecological restoration have significantly altered vegetation phenology-including the start (SOS), end (EOS), and length (LOS) of the growing season, as well as vegetation growth status (GS). These shifts affect hydrological processes such as evapotranspiration, soil moisture, snowmelt, and runoff.

Indian agriculture largely depends on the timely and spatially variable availability of water resources which are replenished during the monsoon season. In the state of Telangana, a significant portion of the available water is utilized for flooded rice cultivation, both in surface water-fed command areas and in groundwater-dependent regions. The spatial extent of seasonal rice cultivation varies annually in response to water availability that is a key indicator of how farmers adapt to regional and global environmental and socio-economic changes.

Land cover (LC) change is a crucial indicator reflecting the interaction between human activities and ecological environment. In semi-arid and arid regions like the Mongolian Plateau (MP), LC change analysis is particularly meaningful in shaping biodiversity, agricultural and grassland environment, and climate regulation, but long-term spatiotemporal dynamics of LC change in MP remain uncertain. This study employed an intensity analysis approach to investigate LC changes over the MP from 1990 to 2020 by using a fine-scale 30 m resolution land cover dataset generated from multi-source satellite images.

Over the past decades, the Ghouts-as an oasis system recognized by the FAO as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System-have experienced significant degradation caused by climate change and water overexploitation. This degradation has serious socio-economic consequences: it threatens food security and the primary sources of livelihood for the local population, increasing their overall vulnerability. Studies have focused on the driving factors behind drought phenomena and water and soil-related constraints without establishing a clear link between these factors and the Ghouts degradation.
