Changes in HQ are closely linked to climate factors and land use [108], the roles of these factors have not been fully examined
Research gap analysis derived from 3 earth_science papers in our local library.
The gap
While changes in HQ are closely linked to climate factors and land use, the roles of these factors have not been fully examined. Urbanization also warrants attention, especially regarding unsustainable practices such as logging and overgrazing, which contribute to ecological degradation.
Evidence profile
Sourced from the future-work section and inline gaps of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 2024 and 2026, spanning 3 journals. Those papers have been cited 20 times in total.

Further research is needed to assess the spatial and temporal changes in HQ, identify the driving factors behind the changes, and detect the interactions among these factors in these degraded areas at the regional scale. Research on the impact of climate change on HQ is needed. Studies on the effects of human activities on HQ are necessary.
