  • Martial arts training and aggressive behavior in children and adolescents: A systematic review of longitudinal evidence and psychological processes

    Open Access•Lei Deng, Xiujie Ma et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Public Health•2026

    Aggressive behavior in childhood and adolescence represents a persistent developmental and public health concern, with important implications for psychosocial adjustment and long-term wellbeing. Martial arts training, which typically integrates structured physical activity with rule-based interaction, discipline, and social learning, has increasingly been proposed as a potential intervention context for shaping behavioral and emotional developmen…

  • Nitrogen‐Fixing Woody Plants Sequester More Soil Mineral‐Associated Carbon and Lose Less Particulate Carbon Than Herbs Post Vegetation Restoration

    Open Access•Yang Liao, Jianli Yang et al.•ARTICLE•Land Degradation and Development•2026

    Dividing soil organic carbon (SOC) into particulate (POC) and mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC) is crucial for understanding the formation, persistence, and functions of soil carbon. However, current understanding of the dynamics of new and old carbon in POC and MAOC following vegetation restoration remains unclear. Here, we investigated the dynamics of new and old carbon in POC and MAOC using stable 13 C isotope techniques, and analyzed t…

  • The Influence of Aesthetic Education on Graduates’ Research Innovation Ability Based on the Multiple Intermediary Model of Cognition, Emotion, and Motivation

    Open Access•Lei Deng, Zhenzhen Li et al.•ARTICLE•Education Sciences•2026

    Aesthetic education is a crucial component of the integrated development of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labour education. It holds a significant position in Chinese higher education in the new era. Drawing on constructivist learning theory, cognitive psychology, positive psychology, and self-determination theory, this study developed an integrated cognition–emotion–motivation model to examine how aesthetic education is associate…

  • How Labor Education Enhances Graduate Mental Health: A Moderated Mediation Model of Psychological, Cognitive, and Behavioral Pathways

    Open Access•Lei Deng, Yiwen Li et al.•ARTICLE•Education Sciences•2026

    Graduate students face increasing academic and psychological pressures, making it important to identify educational practices associated with their mental health. This study examined the association between labor education and graduate students’ mental health by constructing a moderated mediation model. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1283 full-time graduate students in Chinese universities. Structural equation modeling and PROCESS a…

  • Divergent Responses of Autotrophic and Heterotrophic Respiration to Nitrogen Application in a Pinus tabulaeformis Plantation

    Open Access•Wenwen Lv, Jiwei Li et al.•ARTICLE•Land Degradation and Development•2025

    Nitrogen (N) fertilization, as a plantation management technique, plays a vital role in maintaining plantation healthy development and affecting CO 2 emissions. However, the effect of N fertilization on soil respiration (Rs) in the planted forests remains debated. Distinguishing autotrophic respiration (Ra) and heterotrophic respiration (Rh) will help better understand the response of Rs to N fertilization. A 5‐year field experiment with four N l…

  • Short‐Term Nitrogen and Phosphorus Additions Regulated Soil Organic Carbon Turnover by Altering Functional Microorganisms in Desert Steppes

    Open Access•Xuying Hai, Jianping Li et al.•ARTICLE•Land Degradation and Development•2025

    The dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover are significantly modulated by the supply of essential nutrients, with particular emphasis on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). For the typical desert steppe, the responses of soil carbon (C) turnover to the addition of N and P and the underlying mechanism remain elusive. This study applied N and P fertilization for 2 years and probed the impacts of N and P on the composition of the microbial comm…

  • Biochar application induces different responses of bacterial and fungal communities to metabolic limitation

    Open Access•Jiayan Yang, Jinyin Lei et al.•ARTICLE•Land Degradation and Development•2024

    Biochar, an environmentally friendly soil amendment, has the potential to alleviate soil degradation. However, the mechanisms and effects of biochar addition on soil microbes and metabolic limitation in degraded soils are still ambiguous because of the complex ecosystem and the varying conditions of planting. Therefore, a field experiment with six biochar application rates (0, 24, 60, 96, 132, and 168 Mg ha −1 , applied in the 0–20 cm soil layer)…

  • Chinese urbanization promoted terrestrial ecosystem health by implementing high‐quality development and ecological management

    Open Access•Chunbo Huang, Shuangshuang Liu et al.•ARTICLE•Land Degradation and Development•2024

    High‐quality urbanization and a healthy ecosystem are both the material basis for sustainable social development. However, the tie between terrestrial ecosystem health (TEH) and urbanization is still unclear. Therefore, we assessed the spatial and temporal dynamics of urbanization and TEH at 368 cities in China from 2000 to 2020, then explored their spatial interaction and driving mechanisms by spatial autocorrelation analysis and structural equa…

  • Mechanical terracing regulates soil physicochemical properties and infiltration processes in the Loess Hilly Region of China

    Open Access•Zhuoxiao Wang, Daming Yang et al.•ARTICLE•Land Degradation and Development•2024

    The widespread adoption of large‐scale machines has led to a significant shift in terrace construction methods, transitioning from manual labor to mechanical processes. Mechanical terracing, by deeply disturbing the surface and compaction of the soil, has resulted in significant variations in both the soil physicochemical properties (SPCs) and soil infiltration properties (SIPs). However, few studies have been carried out to investigate the impac…

  • The forest loss within small reservoirs surpasses that of large reservoirs across the tropics

    Open Access•Feng Yang, Yang Feng et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Research Letters•2024

    The vast potential of hydropower remains crucial in addressing the escalating need for clean energy, particularly in Tropical Moist Forests (TMFs) regions. Yet, the widespread construction of reservoirs within TMFs has resulted in the inundation of forested areas, exacerbating the fragmentation of forest landscapes and contributing additional loss of carbon stored in these ecosystems. Despite this, the scale and degree of forest loss within reser…

  • Assessing economic and environmental impacts of subsidies for organic fertilizer in vegetable production: Insights from a combined PMP-LCA-LCC approach

  • Changes in soil microbial metabolic activity following long‐term forest succession on the central Loess Plateau, China

    Open Access•Yulin Liu, Xinzhang Song et al.•ARTICLE•Land Degradation and Development•2023

    Forest succession can alter terrestrial ecosystem processes and potentially impact subsurface carbon dynamics. However, the effects of long‐term forest succession on soil microbial metabolic activity remain unclear. This study investigated a long‐term forest succession approximately ~160 years after farmland abandonment on the central Loess Plateau, China, to explore the changes in soil microbial metabolism following the forest succession. Among …

    Measurements of mineral magnetism were performed on a sediment sequence recovered from Foye Chi, an alpine lake (3410 m a.s.l.) on the southern slope of the Taibai Mountain (3767 m a.s.l.), the highest mountain in east mainland China (east of 105°E) influenced by East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) and East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM). Mineral magnetism were also measured for surface sediments from the lake, rock debris, surface soils and a soil pro…

  • Effects of national ecological restoration projects on carbon sequestration in China from 2001 to 2010

    Open Access•Fei Lu, Huifeng Hu et al.•ARTICLE•Proceedings of the National…•2018

    Significance China has launched six key ecological restoration projects since the late 1970s, but the contribution of these projects to terrestrial C sequestration remains unknown. In this study we examined the ecosystem C sink in the project area (∼16% of the country’s land area) and evaluated the project-induced C sequestration. The total annual C sink in the project area between 2001 and 2010 was estimated to be 132 Tg C per y, over half of wh…
