Human expansion into Asian highlands in the 21st Century and its effects
C. Yang, H. Liu, et al.
This study by Chao Yang, Huizeng Liu, and colleagues delves into the remarkable transformation of human activities across Asian highlands between 2000 and 2020, revealing a staggering 23% growth primarily at the expense of ecological lands. While this has intensified habitat fragmentation, it has also fostered development by preserving cultivated land and accommodating 40 million people, emphasizing the complex nature of regional sustainable growth.
