Jiuquan, Zhangye, Wuwei, and Jiayuguan have strong complementary connections among various industrial sectors and a solid industrial foundation. We found that precipitation elasticity showed comparatively higher sensitivity to socio-economic and topographic factors at a global scale. Zheng, B.-M.; Liu, A.-L.; Han, J.-L.; Ming, Q.-Z. Topographical relief is a key factor that limits population distribution and economic development in mountainous areas. Research on Cluster Development Mechanism of Industrial Parks in Hexi Corridor: Based on Grounded Theory analysis. P-F and DOC are abundant in tropical (A), arid (B) and temperate (C) climate waterbodies. ; Chang, H.-Y. ; Gao, S.; Wang, Y.-Q. Latitude. Some studies also show that topographic complexity as represented by the standard deviation of slope may be a better predictor than the average slope [19, 20]. Geography doesn't just determine whether humans can live in a certain area or not, it also determines people's lifestyles, as they adapt to the available food and climate patterns. We discuss the socio-economic and topographic factors that cause instability of CEWQ parameters and conclude with some suggestions for watershed managers to bring sustainability in freshwater bodies. To summarize, this paper chooses the Hexi Corridor urban agglomeration as the research area, which is at the forefront of the opening up of the Belt and Road and located in an economically underdeveloped region with an extremely important geographical location. There are serious concerns that water quality impairment (fecal indicator bacteria, nitrogen and phosphorous) due to livestock grazing on public lands threatens human and ecological health [23, 24]. ; Dang, X.-W. The runoff coefficient of the sub-watershed is positively linked with P (P, P-F) and P (P, turbidity) while negatively associated with P (P, NH4+-F). Secondly, the sensitivity of streamflow to precipitation is higher in temperate climate class (C) [27] where surface land runoff absorbs heat from the ground surface to elevate the water temperature. Latitude or distance from the equator Temperatures drop the further an area is from the equator due to the curvature of the earth. It measures average life expectancy, level of education and income for each country in the world. Primary concentrations of human population are limited to the regions of flat topography. One of the most important factors in development is geography, where the country is in the world, and climate. It depends on how close or how far it is to the equator. Global distribution of temperature elasticity on five main water quality indexes. Geography doesn't just determine whether humans can live in a certain area or not, it also determines people's lifestyles, as they adapt to the available food and climate patterns. The climate of any particular place is influenced by a host of interacting factors. Land 2023, 12, 274. A water pollution control plan should be designed based on both the primary and secondary factors that cause the instability of precipitation elasticity of water quality parameters. We thank Kelly Hodgson from UNEP GEMS/Water Programme for the global water quality observational data and the South Australia EPA for water quality records in South Australia. GDP positively favors P (P, P-UF), which might be linked with urbanization. ; Li, M.-L. Study on Spatial Connection and Optimization of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area: Based on urban flow intensity and gravity model. Zhao, J.; Sun, G.; Webster, C. Does China-Pakistan Economic Corridor improve connectivity in Pakistan? permission is required to reuse all or part of the article published by MDPI, including figures and tables. Land. Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area. Thessaly has warm, dry plains and lower mountain ranges. A protocol assesses the planned transport network infrastructure. Measurement of the network connectivity of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration from the perspective of urban flow. Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. For example, air is forced to rise over mountains. In tropical climate class (A), gross domestic product (GDP) played an important role in stabilizing the CEWQ. Nie, X.-Y. Water heats and cools more slowly than landmasses. The basic answer is that the farther away you get from the earth, the thinner the atmosphere gets. The population density for the concerned watersheds was derived from the Gridded Population of the World, version 3 (GPWv3) (0.50.5 latitude/longitude) [32]. P-fertilizer has a positive coefficient for P (P, temperature). Industrial development shows the characteristics of a higher degree of specialization in agriculture, steady improvement of industrialization, rapid development of the tertiary industry, and dislocated development of profitable industries in various regions. Export citation and abstract Air expands as it rises, and the fewer gas moleculesincluding nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxidehave fewer chances to bump into each other. Closeness centrality (CC) measures the proximity of a citys contact distance. In this way, city-states grew autonomously and developed their own identities. A region's weather patterns, usually tracked for at least 30 years, are considered its climate. It can also be considered a subfield or method in economics. (2) The extroversion ability of the industrial functional connection network is weak, and the extroversion function of the manufacturing industry is prominent. Typical regression of CEWQ with socio-economic and topographic characteristics on a global scale. Thus, from a pedologic perspective, topography is important because it exerts a strong influence on the disposition of energy and matter experienced by soils on the landscape. Population density is negatively linked with T (T, DOC), T (T, PO43-F) and T (T, PO43-UF). Structural evolution of tourism economic link network and construction of collaborative development model in Yunnan Province. Water quality monitoring stations with long-term records on large rivers used in this study. Topography Affects Rain and SnowfallAs air rises, it also cools. This research was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, No. ; software, X.X. Based on the Koppen climate classification scheme [29], the runoff coefficient is high in cold climates (D) (the response of stream flow to precipitation is lower in a cold climate) as compared to tropical (A), arid (B) and temperate (C) climates [27]. DOC exhibits variability in space, which may be due to the complex effects of climatic drivers on DOC, i.e. No special The expected outcomes are quantitative and qualitative improvements in human capital (e.g. The topographic effect is the variation in radiance from an inclined surface compared to the radiance from a horizontal surface as a function of the surface orientation relative to the light source and sensor position. In comparison to Cwa, a subclass of temperate (C), Cfa and Cfb have higher contents of NO3-F, which may be due to climatic conditions that favor leaching of nitrogen from soil with time [75, 76], or irrigation tailwater discharge from conventional farming that favors the release of nitrate contents to waterbodies in the vicinity [56]. Spatial pattern evolution of economic links in Shandong Peninsula urban agglomeration. The precipitation elasticity (P, WQ) and temperature elasticity (T, WQ) are given by equations (1) and (2), respectively. The present method has a limitation due to the unavailability of monthly data for GDP at the sub-watershed scale. Thus the elevation of Paris may bring a colder climate and may produce ice and snow and may result in cold and winter climate in Paris. The watershed topography and local socio-economics probably impact the sensitivity of the response of water quality to climate drivers. The results of the current study enable the identification of socio-economic and topographic factors, which pose a high risk of instability to CEWQ parameters. Area development model construction. Mountain ranges are natural barriers to air movement. Economic uncertainty spillover and social networks. ; Lv, R.; Zhang, X.-B. Revisions:1 Some nonlinear relations are reported in table 1 with their corresponding R2 and P-values which include: P (P, NOx-F) with mean slope (R2=0.624, P=0.001), P (P, PO43-F) with P-manure with (R2=0.624, P=0.001), T (T, NO2-F) with N-manure (R2=0.563, P=0.001), T (T, P-F) with P-fertilizer (R2=0.695, P=0.010) and T (T, P-F) with P-manure (R2=0.920, P=0.000). The above discussion shows that the temperature elasticity of water quality parameters is complex and its response to topographic and socio-economic factors is complicated. Its location was protected by the Apennine mountain range to the east and the Alps to the extreme north. Today, geography still plays an important but much more nuanced role in the development of economies. Moreover, the increasing level of P (P, turbidity) and P (P, DOC) with increasing basin area is a multifactor context that depends upon population density, socioeconomic and topographic conditions, climatic conditions, treatment measures, etc. Topographical relief is a key factor that limits population distribution and economic development in mountainous areas. It also caused the Greeks to look outside of its peninsula for colonies that possessed soil that could be farmed. correlation analysis) were formerly reported by [28]. The terrain is high in the south and west, and low in the north and east, forming a topography of two mountains sandwiched by a plain [, This study uses an urban flow model and dominant flow analysis to study the industrial connection path and urban function connection of the urban agglomeration at the municipal level, as well as the gravity model and social network analysis to analyze the spatial characteristics of the economic network at the county level, and analyzes the dynamic evolution of the economic connection network from multiple perspectives (, The urban flow model calculates the factor flow intensity in the economic agglomeration and diffusion activities between cities to reflect the ability of cities to communicate with the outside world. Women in Athens were on the bottom rung of the social ladder and were not considered citizens. Lv, Y.; Chen, Y. As a result, more energy is lost and temperatures are cooler. https://doi.org/10.3390/land12020274, Subscribe to receive issue release notifications and newsletters from MDPI journals, You can make submissions to other journals. Although many factors combine to influence weather, the four main ones are solar radiation, the amount of which changes with Earth's tilt, orbital distance from the sun and latitude, temperature, air pressure and the abundance of water. shape of the land (known as 'relief' or 'topography'). Climate 4. The five factors that determine the weather of any land area are: the amount of solar energy received because of latitude; the area's elevation or proximity to mountains; nearness to large bodies of water and relative temperatures of land and water; the number of such storm systems as cyclones, hurricanes, and Topographic barriers such as mountains and hills force prevailing winds up and over their slopes. Cooler air is capable of holding less water vapor than warmer air. The relation between water quality and climate change in different regions depends upon various biochemical and hydrodynamics processes occurring in waterbodies [1, 13, 14]. Rugged terrain restricts the concentration of population in any area. Introduction: Climate is determined by the temperature and precipitation characteristics of a region over time. The limitation is especially appare The positive sign of GDP coefficient for T (T, DO) may be attributed to conservative practices and better treatment facilities, which reduce organic and nutrient loading and improve DO saturation in surface waterbodies due to higher development in the region. Liang, C.; Zeng, J. Papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and undergo peer review The Coastal Range allows for some condensation and light precipitation. Our summaries and analyses are written by experts, and your questions are answered by real teachers. Liu, H.-Y. ; writingreview and editing, P.S. Res. By contrast, the impact of topographical features on the response of typical water quality parameters to climate factors has not been investigated. how people tried to overcome geographical features and provide for themselves and The Topography of an area can greatly influence our climate. Lv, R.; Shi, P.-J. (3) The economic network has a greater agglomeration effect than diffusion effect, with prominent grouping characteristics, forming a network structure of one man, three vices, and many nodes and a significant spatial proximity effect. Each of these city states could develop its own social structures (contrast Sparta and Athens). Topographical relief is a key factor that limits population distribution and economic development in mountainous areas. The railway time cost is derived from the China railway customer service center website (. latitude,temperature,precipitation,topography,and elevation. Educators go through a rigorous application process, and every answer they submit is reviewed by our in-house editorial team. The above-mentioned data sets are publicly available and are at 0.50.5 latitude/longitude grid resolution. GDP is negatively associated with T (T, turbidity). This is because geographical features include mountains, deserts, and water, which directly impact the movement of people and thus the movement of trade. How does geography affect business? - Geographical influences are one of the factors which have a great impact upon the businesses. When topography comes into play, weather scenarios deviate from that rule. Certain ocean currents have differenet temperatures. Though a majority of the population is engaged in agriculture and rarely shift Ashfaq, S.; Tang, Y.; Maqbool, R. Insights of energy and its trade networking impacts on sustainable economic development. (1) The overall function of the urban agglomeration is weak, the outward function of manufacturing is outstanding, the complementary network is highly complicated and evolving, and the environment and public service and tourism industry have apparent advantages. tectonic uplift, fluvial erosion and deposition, mass wasting, volcanic activity and glaciation. Disclaimer/Publishers Note: The statements, opinions and data contained in all publications are solely Topographical features like mountains affect the weather mostly in the way that they direct air currents. 1996-2023 MDPI (Basel, Switzerland) unless otherwise stated. Previous studies, which used statistical approaches or process-based approaches, have discussed the river water quality relationship with, or response to, air temperature and precipitations. and X.X. progress in the field that systematically reviews the most exciting advances in scientific literature. GDP is positively related with T (T, P-F). Latest answer posted February 02, 2020 at 3:03:31 PM. Population density has a positive coefficient for P (P, NO3-F), which may be due to lawn fertilization in urban areas, which drains NO3-F to enrich surface waters [59, 79]. Moreover, the particular influences on water chemistry exhibit regionalization owing to climatic and non-climatic factors [11, 12]. Figure 3. ; Wei, W. Urban competition and cooperation in Hexi Corridor based on niche theory. Elevation. The temperature characteristics of a region are influenced by natural factors such as latitude, elevation, and the presence of ocean currents. Primary concentrations of human The mountains also worked as barriers to separate different areas. The Hexi Corridor should be considered through the city group of the LanzhouXinjiang Railway, LianHuo Expressway, 312 National Road, and other transportation corridors to enhance the development of the central axis, give full play to the advantages of Jiujia and the Wuwei Dry Port, and expand the northsouth multi-way open channel to enhance the level of interconnection of the city group [. The increasing level of P (P, turbidity) with sub-watershed area may be attributed to several possible reasons: frequent and strong storms that erode the ground surface and re-suspend sediments in surface waters [41], human land use change [6, 42], and stock grazing and agricultural activities [43, 44]. "How did geography and topography affect Greek economic, political and social development? Table 1. Temperature usually decreases by 1C for every 100 metres in altitude. [1] There are four branches of economic geography. Greece's geographical location gave it a very advantageous position for trading. The topography of an area also helps determine the climate. Ocean currents. Wei, Y.; Wang, J.; Zhang, S.; Sono, D.; Xiu, C. Urban positionality in the regional urban network: Through the lens of alter-based centrality and national-local perspectives. Zhang, Y.-Q. The topography of an area can influence the weather and climate. If an area is close to a body of water it tends to make milder climates. Based on the model, when topography over the selected region (KTU) is reduced to 25%, the mean rainfall (temperature) over east Africa is reduced (increased) by about 19% The response of PO43-F and PO43-UF to temperature is inelastic and relatively elastic, and site specific [28]. Why topography is considered in site selection? Mountain ranges are natural barriers to air movement. This enabled the Spartan citizens to train in the art of battle. https://www.mdpi.com/openaccess. Tian, M.; Wang, Y.; Wang, Y. Xian et al (2007) found that Cu, Zn, NO3+ NO2, oil grease, and total suspended solid are strongly correlated with population density [17, 25]. Research on the Evolution Characteristics and Synergistic Relationship between HSR Network and Economic Network in Hubei Province. Climatic factors such as light, water, and rainfall, temperature, air, relative humidity and wind also affect farming in various ways. The impacts of natural environment on water quality, e.g., climate and topography, have been less studied in comparison with land use and socio-economic factors. There is a positive correlation between relief degree and elevation, and a much stronger correlation between relief degree and slope. Environmental Research Letters, The concept of climatestream flow relationships [26, 27] have been extended to the bivariate climate elasticity of water quality using extensive monitoring data [28]. Jinchang has a weak foundation for the development of the tertiary industry. The Hexi Corridor is connected with Qinghai in the south by the Qilian Mountains and Inner Mongolia in the north by the Beishan Mountain system. Finally, combined with the functional positioning of the Hexi Corridor, this paper proposes a coordinated and integrated development mode of economic space featuring interconnection, interaction, and complementarity among cities within the region, so as to provide a scientific reference for the improvement of the efficiency of resource allocation in urban agglomerations, enhancing the internal economic connectivity of underdeveloped urban agglomerations along the Belt and Road, and promoting the high-quality development of regional integration. The runoff coefficient has a positive coefficient for T (T, NO3-F). This study was carried out on major watersheds of the World. MDPI and/or Watershed managers can bring improvement to the water environment via the developed patterns between socio-economic variables, topographic variables and CEWQ parameters to reduce stress on aquatic life. Sun, Q.; Tang, F.; Tang, Y. "Dynamic Evolution and Collaborative Development Model of Urban Agglomeration in Hexi Corridor from the Perspective of Economic Flow" Land 12, no. Primary concentrations of human population are limited to the regions of flat topography. Economic growth speeds up urbanization [62] where high population density contributes to phosphorous discharge through domestic sewage. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly Afed U Khan1,2, Jiping Jiang1,3, Peng Wang1,4 and Yi Zheng3, Published 11 October 2017 The negative coefficient of GDP for P (P, P-UF) shows that sufficient restoration and treatment facilities reduce organic and nutrient loading at the catchment scale due to higher economic growth, which decreases P-UF enrichment in surface waters swept via land runoff [56]. This type of Multi-point coordinated characteristic development mode. In order to be human-readable, please install an RSS reader. How does topography affect human life?
