EVALUATING ECOLOGICAL SENSITIVITY CHANGES IN THE HAN RIVER BASIN OVER TIME

Abstract

Ecological sensitivity, signifying the adaptability of ecological components to external pressures without compromising ecological integrity, holds pivotal importance in contemporary ecological and environmental research. The surge in global and regional environmental challenges, spurred by heightened urbanization, resource mismanagement, and human intervention, has accentuated the urgency for ecological investigations. This is particularly crucial in the context of environmental pollution, dwindling resources, and the degradation of ecosystems, which have emerged as critical constraints on socioeconomic progress. Accordingly, assessing ecological sensitivity plays a pivotal role in regional ecological protection and management. This research not only constitutes a focal point in global geography, ecology, and environmental science, but also stands at the forefront of current endeavors in ecological restoration and sustainable development. A wealth of studies attests to ecological sensitivity as a robust and inclusive gauge of ecosystem self-regulation and resilience in the face of stressors. To facilitate a more harmonious coexistence between humanity and the natural world, while mitigating environmental harm associated with societal progress and human undertakings, a thorough evaluation of regional ecological sensitivity is imperative.
