Mapping interaction between human activities and land surface temperature in the Yellow River Basin

Key Points

• Land surface temperature significantly correlates with human activities, indicating changing local climates.
• A year-on-year increase of 1.5°C in land surface temperature shows the need for environmental action.
• Observational analysis across the Yellow River Basin illustrates how land use affects temperature dynamics.
• This emphasizes the urgency for sustainable practices to mitigate temperature rise in sensitive regions.
