The comprehensive evaluation of China's urbanization and effects on resources and environment
for the Chinese urbanization between 1981 and 2006 based on the Entropy method. Moreover, the effects of urbanization on resource and environment are examined to promote the healthy development of urbanization.

This paper investigates the negative effects of foreign direct investment on the local labour market in the city of Plzeň, Czechia. The analysis utilizes data collected from public databases, companies’ annual reports, and field research of Plzeň’s
firms. The paper identifies several negative effects of foreign direct investment on Plzeň’s labour market, including the quality and structure of the local labour force and its average gross monthly wages. - (EN)
The paper presents a hedonic analysis of the amenity and disamenity effects arising from the heterogeneous urban landscape in a Chinese city. The study focuses on the central built-up area of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. A three-dimensional
model is applied to estimate the effects of these urban landscape features. Residential gardens were the most attractive landscape and urban villages had disamenity effects. The visibility of landscape was more valued than the accessibility.
A model linking subaqueous dune migration to the effective (grain related) shear stress is calibrated by means of flume data for bedform dimensions and migration rates. The effective shear stress is calculated on the basis of a new method assuming
a near-bed layer above the mean bed level in which the current velocity accelerates towards the bedform crest. As a consequence, the effective bed shear stress corresponds to the shear stress acting directly on top of the bedform. The model operates
Learning through contact ? The effects on earnings of immigrant exposure to the native population
The study introduces the role played by workplace composition, in addition to place of residence, in immigrant earnings. Based on Swedish longitudinal register data, regression analysis is used to examine effects of previous exposure to natives
Hydraulic and geomorphological effects of run-of-river dams
As, in part related to public-safety concerns, the number of removals of run-of-river dams increases, it is crucial to understand the effects that these structures have on river geomorphology and sedimentology. This paper reviews current knowledge
Effectiveness of geotextiles in reducing runoff and soil loss : a synthesis
The aim of this review is to analyse the effects of plot length (L) and other possible affecting factors [cover percentage (C, %), slope gradient (S), rainfall duration (D), rainfall intensity (I), sand, silt and clay contents, soil organic matter
(SOM) content and geotextile type (natural or synthetic)] on the effectiveness of geotextiles in reducing soil and water loss, based on reported experimental data. From linear regressions, C (%) and soil sand, silt and clay contents are found
Using a data set with measures of Jiangxi’s climate and rice production, the AA. find the reason that during 1985 and 2004 ENSO’s well correlated with rainfall did not promote Chinese rice production. First, the largest effects of ENSO mostly occur
in the months when there is no rice in the field. Second, there is almost no temperature effect. Finally, the monthly distribution of rainfall is almost the same in ENSO and neutral years because the largest effects are during months when there is the least rain
. In addition, due to the high irrigation share and reliable and effective irrigation facilities of cultivated land, China’s rice production is less climate-sensitive.
Effects of wildfire and laboratory heating on soil aggregate stability of pine forests in Galicia : the role of lithology, soil organic matter content and water repellency
This work aims to assess the effects of wildfires on soil aggregate stability and the role therein of contrasting lithologies as well as of fire-induced changes in organic matter content and soil water repellency. To this end, a pair-wise comparison
of neighbouring burned and unburned soils was carried out and complemented by laboratory heating experiments to clarify the role of fire intensity. The wildfire effects on field aggregate stability were highly variable and results indicated that these changes
Downstream effects of urbanization on stillwater Creek, Oklahoma
This project evaluates the effects of urbanization on Stillwater Creek, located in central Oklahoma. The upper section of this basin is predominantly rural, while the downstream section is experiencing urban expansion. Statistical analysis
) in this basin counter the possible effects of urbanization on channel morphology. Increasing urbanization was expected to reduce the sources of woody debris to stream channel and affect channel morphology. However, Stillwater Creek had thick riparian corridors
