Integrating Multiple Approaches to Reveal the Spatiotemporal Pattern of Soil Erosion in Mollisol Watershed
Although numerous prediction methods have been developed, scientific estimation of the spatiotemporal pattern of soil erosion at the watershed scale remains challenging. In this study, fallout radionuclides of 210 Pb ex and 137 Cs were used to estimate average annual soil erosion and deposition in a Mollisol watershed in Northeast China. Additionally, the Chinese Soil Loss Equation (CSLE) and source‐sink theory based on fingerprinting techniques …
Great Potential of Biochar Application in Reducing Greenhouse Gases While Increasing the Yield in Acidic Soil of Global Cropland
Biochar's ability to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, global warming potential (GWP), greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI), and its impact on yield remain unclear due to the variation in biochar properties, initial acidic soil properties, and experimental and climatic conditions. This study aimed to determine the biochar potential in mitigating GWP and GHGI while simultaneously increasing yield in acidic soils through a meta‐analysis of 288 publicat…
Identification of land-use conflicts
Divergent perspectives on future land-use changes, known as land-use conflicts (LUCs), significantly affect the local environment, human well-being, and sustainable development goals. However, the accurate identification and resolution of LUCs remain challenging. This study proposed a framework for LUC identification by integrating the land characteristics obtained from expert analyses with local stakeholder preferences. It outlined four types of…

Spatiotemporal heterogeneity of soil available nitrogen during freeze–thaw cycles in a watershed
The spatial pattern of soil available nitrogen (AN) is the key reference for farmland fertilization however, it is still unclear how freeze–thaw cycles (FTC) altered the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of AN at the watershed scale. In this study, the geostatistical, traditional analysis and structural equation models were used to detect how topography, land management, and soil properties influence the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of AN in both befo…
Using unmanned aerial vehicle multispectral data for monitoring the outcomes of ecological restoration in mining areas
The effective and efficient monitoring of revegetation outcomes is a key component of ecosystem restoration. Monitoring often involves labor‐intensive manual methods, which are difficult to deploy when sites are inaccessible or involve large areas of revegetation. This study aimed to identify plant species and quantify α‐diversity index on a sub‐meter scale at Manlailiang Mine Site in Northwestern China using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as a …

The long‐term effects of underground mining on the growth of tree, shrub, and herb communities in arid and semiarid areas in China
Underground mining (as opposed to open‐cast) often causes large‐scale subsidence, leading to various types of disturbances to surface vegetation. Adequate quantitative assessment of the long‐term effects of underground mining on the growth of different plant communities is important and still lacking. To address these issues, a vegetation growth contract model (VGCM) was proposed, and six indicators including the growth trend (GT), annual growth …
Functional Assessment and Coordination Characteristics of Production, Living, Ecological Function—A Case Study of Henan Province, China
Multifunctional state assessment was the basis of time sequence design of territory spatial development and overall utilisation. This study aimed to identify the ecological-production-living (PLE) territory spatial function to provide a basis for territory spatial planning. It took Henan Province as the research area. This study developed a methodology to assess differentiation characteristics for PLE function, a method that integrates functional…
Peak Match Demands in Young Basketball Players
The main finding is that there are significant differences between the most intense moments of a game and the average demands. This means that understanding game demands using averages drastically underestimates the peak demands of the game. This approach helps coaches and fitness coaches to prepare athletes for the most demanding periods of the game and present potential practical applications that could be implemented during training and rehabi…
The Regional Differences in Game-Play Styles Considering Playing Position in the Fiba Female Continental Basketball Competitions
The aim of this study was to identify regional differences based on playing position in terms of the technical performances among FIBA Female Continental Basketball Championships by controlling the influence of situational variables including the game outcome, game type, teams and opponent quality. The samples comprised of 9208 performance records from 471 games in the America, Africa, Asia and Europe Championships during 2013-2017 and were colle…
Modelling the Relationship between Match Outcome and Match Performances during the 2019 Fiba Basketball World Cup
The FIBA Basketball World Cup is one of the most prominent sporting competitions for men's basketball, with coaches interested in key performance indicators (KPIs) that give a better understanding of basketball competitions. The aims of the study were to (1) examine the relationship between match KPIs and outcome in elite men's basketball; and (2) identify the most suitable analysis (multiple linear regression (MLR) vs. quantile regression (QR)) …
Remediation of Soil Polluted with Cd in a Postmining Area Using Thiourea-Modified Biochar
Cadmium presence in soil is considered a significant threat to human health. Biochar is recognized as an effective method to immobilize Cd ions in different soils. However, obtaining effective and viable biochar to remove elevated Cd from postmining soil remains a challenge. More modifiers need to be explored to improve biochar remediation capacity. In this investigation, pot experiments were conducted to study the effects of poplar-bark biochar …
Evaluation of the Technical Performance of Football Players in the Uefa Champions League
This study aimed to assess the technical match performance of top-class football players in a long-term perspective. Technical performance profiles of players according to five playing positions (central defender, full back, wide midfielder, central midfielder, forward) and five situational variables (competition stage, match location, quality of team, quality of opponent, match outcome) were established. Technical match data of players in the UE…
Cracks Reinforce the Interactions among Soil Bacterial Communities in the Coal Mining Area of Loess Plateau, China
Soil microorganisms play a key role in global biogeochemical changes. To understand the interactions among soil bacterial communities and their responses to extreme environments, the soil properties and bacterial community diversity were determined in the post-mining ecosystem of the Loess Plateau, China. The results showed that the soil temperature, pH, organic matter, available phosphorus, and available potassium values were significantly reduc…

Effects of Pb Smelting on the Soil Bacterial Community near a Secondary Lead Plant
Secondary lead smelting is a widespread industrial activity which has exacerbated Pb or Cd contamination of soil and water across the world. Soil physicochemical properties, soil enzyme activities, heavy metal concentrations, and bacterial diversity near a secondary lead plant in Xuzhou, China were examined in this study. The results showed that secondary lead smelting activities influenced nearby soils. Soil acidification decreased one order of …
Spatial Variability of PAHs and Microbial Community Structure in Surrounding Surficial Soil of Coal-Fired Power Plants in Xuzhou, China
This work investigated the spatial profile and source analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil that surrounds coal-fired power plants in Xuzhou, China. High-throughput sequencing was employed to investigate the composition and structure of soil bacterial communities. The total concentration of 15 PAHs in the surface soils ranged from 164.87 to 3494.81 μg/kg dry weight. The spatial profile of PAHs was site-specific with a concen…
