Satellite imagery analysis of Poyang Lake in China from 1973 to 2019 revealed major shifts in wetland cover types driven by flooding, drought cycles, and human activity. The study is focused on remote sensing of wetland dynamics and is not directly related to microplastics research.
A review of remote sensing in coastal aquaculture: data, geographic hotspots, methods, and challenges
This review synthesises remote sensing methods for monitoring coastal aquaculture, covering satellite and aerial data sources, identifying geographic hotspots of aquaculture expansion, and evaluating current and emerging techniques for assessing environmental impacts such as plastic debris from nets, cages, and buoys.
Long-term human expansion and the environmental impacts on the coastal zone of China
This study analyzed long-term expansion of reclamation, aquaculture ponds, and urban land cover in the Circum-Bohai Coastal Zone of China from satellite data using Google Earth Engine. Human coastal expansion accelerated significantly over the study period and was associated with declining ecosystem services including carbon storage, water purification, and biodiversity habitat.
A review of remote sensing in coastal aquaculture: data, geographic hotspots, methods, and challenges
This review examines remote sensing applications in coastal aquaculture, synthesising data sources, geographic hotspots, and methodological advances that allow satellite and aerial imagery to monitor aquaculture facility extent, water quality, and environmental impacts including plastic debris from aquaculture infrastructure.
A review of remote sensing in coastal aquaculture: data, geographic hotspots, methods, and challenges
A review of remote sensing applications in coastal aquaculture examined available data sources, geographic coverage, and analytical methods for monitoring aquaculture zones. This is relevant to microplastic research because aquaculture operations are both exposed to and potential sources of microplastic contamination in coastal waters.
Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Land Use Changesand Their Impacts on Ecosystem ServiceValue in the Qinghai Lake Basin, 2003-2023
Researchers examined spatiotemporal land use changes and their effects on ecosystem service value in the Qinghai Lake Basin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau over a 20-year period from 2003 to 2023. The study found that land use alterations significantly disrupted biodiversity, soil retention, water conservation, and overall ecosystem service value in this important inland saltwater lake region.
Standardized Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Biological Index Method for Ecosystem Health Evaluation in Large Waters of Aquaculture Type
Researchers developed a standardized fuzzy comprehensive evaluation biological index method for assessing ecosystem health in large aquaculture-type water bodies, providing a more nuanced tool for monitoring river and lake ecosystem conditions under increasing human environmental pressure.
Evaluation of the Spatiotemporal Change of Ecological Quality under the Context of Urban Expansion—A Case Study of Typical Urban Agglomerations in China
Researchers tracked changes in ecological quality across three major urban areas in China over two decades of rapid urbanization. They found that urban expansion significantly reduced ecological quality in surrounding areas, with the most severe impacts occurring in newly developed zones. The study provides a framework for monitoring how urbanization affects local ecosystems using remote sensing data.
Effects of Urbanization on Landscape Patterns in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River Region
This remote sensing study analyzed how urbanization changed land use and landscape patterns in the middle Yangtze River region of China over several decades. Rapid urbanization replaced natural vegetation with impervious surfaces, reducing ecosystem services like water filtration. Urban expansion is closely linked to increases in plastic consumption and microplastic pollution in adjacent water bodies.
