- Vegetation Greenness Changes in Northeast China Dominated by Climate Change and Ecological Restoration (2026) · ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information · doi
Ecological restoration has often been overlooked as a core driver in previous studies. The study aims to fill the gap by analyzing the role of ecological restoration in vegetation protection and recovery. The study also aims to quantify the contributions of climate change and human activities to vegetation changes.

Lack of studies on the hydraulic characteristics of slope flow with combined vegetation. Limited understanding of the impact of vegetation on slope flow and erosion. Need for a comprehensive investigation of the effects of combined vegetation on slope hydrological properties.

Although vegetation restoration is widely recognized for improving soil infiltration, how root-soil interactions respond to erosion-induced changes in soil profile stratification and related properties, and how these responses affect the hydrological effectiveness of vegetation restoration, remain poorly understood.
