Associations of 24-h movement behavior with mental health in adolescent athletes
Background Adolescent athletes are exposed to high training loads and competitive pressure, which may increase the risk of psychological problems such as sport-related cognitive trait anxiety, mental fatigue, and other psychological symptoms. Understanding how 24-h movement behaviors—including moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light-intensity physical activity (LPA), sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep (SLP)—are associated with psycho…
Mapping biodiversity footprints and pathways in provincial China
Opting Back In
In Chinese families, child‐rearing responsibilities predominantly fall on mothers, reinforcing an unequal gender division of labor within the household and placing women in a vulnerable position in the labor market. To balance work and family, many mothers rely on additional childcare support, with grandparents serving as the most critical source of assistance. This study examines the impact of grandparental childcare on maternal labor market out…

Green spaces provide substantial but unequal urban cooling globally
Climate warming disproportionately impacts countries in the Global South by increasing extreme heat exposure. However, geographic disparities in adaptation capacity are unclear. Here, we assess global inequality in green spaces, which urban residents critically rely on to mitigate outdoor heat stress. We use remote sensing data to quantify daytime cooling by urban greenery in the warm seasons across the ~500 largest cities globally. We show a str…
Climate-smart forestry in the world’s drylands
Land degradation and desertification are widespread across the world’s drylands. These processes are substantially affected by climatic change, with long-term and severe droughts on the one hand, and high intensity rainstorms and devastating floods on the other hand. Simultaneously, land-use change and mismanagement practices have led to processes of accelerated soil erosion, depletion of soil organic carbon pools, and the degradation of extensiv…
Anticipating the global redistribution of people and property
Hai-Honghua medicinal liquor is a reliable remedy for fracture by promotion of osteogenic differentiation via activation of PI3K/Akt pathway
Safe and just Earth system boundaries
The stability and resilience of the Earth system and human well-being are inseparably linked 1–3 , yet their interdependencies are generally under-recognized; consequently, they are often treated independently 4,5 . Here, we use modelling and literature assessment to quantify safe and just Earth system boundaries (ESBs) for climate, the biosphere, water and nutrient cycles, and aerosols at global and subglobal scales. We propose ESBs for maintain…
Minor Forms of Parental Maltreatment and Educational Achievement of Immigrant Youths in Young Adulthood
Parental hostility and emotional rejection-or aggregated as general harsh family interactions with parents-have received little research attention due to such parent-child interactions being counted as minor forms of parental maltreatment and regarded as being less harmful. However, recent research showed that these minor forms of parental maltreatment on youth development are far from negligibility on account of their frequency, chronicity, and …
Quantifying the human cost of global warming
The costs of climate change are often estimated in monetary terms, but this raises ethical issues. Here we express them in terms of numbers of people left outside the ‘human climate niche’—defined as the historically highly conserved distribution of relative human population density with respect to mean annual temperature. We show that climate change has already put ~9% of people (>600 million) outside this niche. By end-of-century (2080–2100), c…
Generational gaps in attitudes toward migrants
Climate Endgame
Prudent risk management requires consideration of bad-to-worst-case scenarios. Yet, for climate change, such potential futures are poorly understood. Could anthropogenic climate change result in worldwide societal collapse or even eventual human extinction? At present, this is a dangerously underexplored topic. Yet there are ample reasons to suspect that climate change could result in a global catastrophe. Analyzing the mechanisms for these extre…
Virtual Grandparenting
Many grandparents today are physically separated from their families. Given that maintaining close family relationships (with both adult children and grandchildren) is associated with increased physical, mental, and emotional health across generations, it is important to determine how families can maintain close relationships with grandparents when physically separated. Technology offers one potential support: the proliferation of video chat. Rec…
Plant Adaptability and Vegetation Differentiation in the Coastal Beaches of Yellow–Bohai Sea in China
To identify the key soil factors influencing the vegetation differentiation in the coastal tidal flats of the Yellow-Bohai Sea in China, this study investigated the corresponding relationship between the Spartina alterniflora (SA), Suaeda salsa (SS), and Phragmites australis (PA) communities and their respective soil factors with published data, and combined the ecological strategy for analysis. The results showed a corresponding relationship bet…
Greening vs browning? Surface water cover mediates how tundra and boreal ecosystems respond to climate warming
Climate warming in northern high latitudes has progressed twice as fast as the global average, leading to prominent but puzzling changes in vegetation structure and functioning of tundra and boreal ecosystems. While some regions are becoming greener, others have lost or shifted vegetation condition as indicated by a browning signal. The mechanisms underlying this ‘greening or browning enigma’ remain poorly understood. Here we use multi-sourced ti…

Mandatory Physical Education Classes of Two Hours per Week Can Be Comparable to Losing More than Five Kilograms for Chinese College Students
Despite releases of governmental guidelines for promoting physical fitness among the youth in China, the performance of college students in fitness tests has been declining over the past three decades. Obesity and physical inactivity have been proposed as two main causes. However, their relative importance for improving physical fitness remains unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we collected longitudinal data spanning four consecutive years …
System-Specific Complex Interactions Shape Soil Organic Carbon Distribution in Coastal Salt Marshes
Coastal wetlands provide many critical ecosystem services including carbon storage. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the most important component of carbon stock in coastal salt marshes. However, there are large uncertainties when estimating SOC stock in coastal salt marshes at large spatial scales. So far, information on the spatial heterogeneity of SOC distribution and determinants remains limited. Moreover, the role of complex ecological interacti…

China's Natural Wetlands
Natural wetlands, occupying 3.8% of China's land and providing 54.9% of ecosystem services, are unevenly distributed among eight wetland regions. Natural wetlands in China suffered great loss and degradation (e.g., 23.0% freshwater swamps, 51.2% costal wetlands) because of the wetland reclamation during China's long history of civilization, and the population pressure and the misguided policies over the last 50 years. Recently, with an improved u…
The Headwater Loss of the Western Plateau Exacerbates China's Long Thirst
China is a country poor in water resources, with an annual 2800 km3 of freshwater storage and 2300 m3 of water availability per capita. Both the water shortage and low use efficiency make modern China thirsty. Furthermore, the loss of glaciers and wetlands in the western plateau that feed the major rivers of China as their headwaters will exacerbate this thirst in the future. Although groundwater might be tapped as a resource, most regions alread…
