A Study on the Spatio-Temporal Land-Use Changes and Ecological Response of the Dongting Lake Catchment

Catchments support the survival and development of humans in a region and investigating the mechanism of land-use changes and ecological responses in catchments is of great significance for improving watershed ecological service functions. Taking the Dongting Lake catchment as the study area, this s...
