摘要

Background

Sustainable development and urbanization are interwoven concepts that promote an eco-friendly life for all living beings, which ensures harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Consequently, ecosystem assessments using various modi operandi are essential in evaluating urbanization’s impact and construction of the ecological civilization. This study examines microscale ornithological successional analysis, limnological parameters, and remote sensing techniques over three months (January, February, and March) in 2020 and 2023 to assess structural and temporal variations.

Results

The findings indicate a notable increase in avian species richness, diversity, and abundance in 2023 compared to 2020. Elevated nutrient levels in the lake water, along with an expansion in agricultural land within a 5 km radius of the lake, were identified as key drivers of increased bird diversity. Higher nutrient concentrations facilitated enhanced plant growth in the lake and surrounding agricultural areas, attracting insectivorous and omnivorous birds. These results provide valuable insights into the ecological complexity, structural changes, and dynamic transformations occurring within an urban ecosystem and their implications for local biodiversity.

Conclusion

This study employs an integrative approach utilizing three distinct parameters to evaluate the ecological implications of sustainable development. The findings provide a foundation for evidence-based conservation strategies and urban planning policies aimed at enhancing ecological resilience, sustainability, and coexistence. Additionally, the study underscores the need for continuous, long-term ecological monitoring to assess spatiotemporal environmental dynamics and inform future management practices.
