Spatiotemporal dynamics and suitability of greenhouse agriculture in China
Greenhouse cultivation, integral to modern agricultural facilities, is pivotal for sustainable agricultural development and land resource management. However, long-term monitoring of their spatiotemporal dynamics and structural stability remains limited in seasonal climate regions. This study employed the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud computing platform and the Random Forest algorithm to analyze spatiotemporal dynamics and assess land suitabili…
The impact of water rights reform on vegetation coverage
Vegetation is a key indicator of regional ecological environment changes, in which water resources will be most crucial. The water rights reform (WRR), a market-oriented system, is progressively replacing the current water resource policy. Therefore, this study utilizes the city-level data to empirically analyze the effect of the WRR on vegetation coverage, which is indexed by the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) with an empirical st…
Declining Urban–Rural Population Densities
The decline in urban–rural population density (URPD) has consistently characterized China's rapid urbanization. Analyzing the spatiotemporal trends in URPD and their effects on habitats within the context of China's ecological civilization is crucial. However, quantitative studies on the decline in URPD are lacking, and the impact on natural habitats remains unclear. Therefore, using population census and land‐use data, we analyzed the spatiotemp…

Declining resilience of forest carbon sinks linked to increased atmospheric water deficit during droughts in the Northern Hemisphere
Droughts have posed intense threats to the forest carbon sink (i.e. net ecosystem productivity, NEP), potentially elevating the risk of forest degradation and challenging the achievement of climatic and ecological goals. While global forest NEP endured, the resilience of NEP served as the ability of ecosystems to withstand and recover from perturbations and the underlying maintenance mechanisms during droughts remain unclear. Here, we explored th…
Stand characteristics regulate forest water use efficiency in the Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program region of China
The Three-North Shelter Forest Program (TNSFP) of China, one of the largest forestry ecological projects, serves as a nature-based solution to addressing ecological, social, and economic challenges and issues. This program, mainly situated in arid and semi-arid regions, critically focuses on improving water use efficiency (WUE)—maximizing carbon sequestration per unit of water consumed—as a key strategy for optimizing water resource utilization a…

Does agricultural water-saving policy improve food security? Evidence from the Yellow River Basin in China
For our empirical research, the 2012 implementation of China's National Agricultural Water-Saving Outline serves as a quasi-experiment. In addition, one of the main regions in China for grain production is the Yellow River Basin. Based on this, we utilize a Difference-in-Difference (DID) empirical technique to assess the impact of the agricultural water-saving policy on food security using data from prefectures in China's Yellow River Basin from …
In Service of U.S. Cold War Strategy or an Independent Initiative? Japan’s Economic Cooperation with Taiwan (1962–1972)
Although Japan and Taiwan rebuilt their trade relations shortly after the KMT retreated to Taiwan, the Government of Japan (GOJ) was not deeply involved in postwar Taiwan’s economic development until the mid-1960s. This paper traces how the rhetoric of ‘economic cooperation’ with Taiwan was shaped and evolved within the GOJ. Aside from supporting the U.S.’ cold war policy, the GOJ turned positively to the KMT’s demand for economic cooperation in …
Effect of arctigenin on neurological diseases
Agricultural Water Use Efficiency and Rebound Effect
Agricultural water use accounts for the largest proportion of water withdrawal, so improving agricultural water use efficiency is an important way to alleviate water shortage. However, the expected water saving by the improved agricultural water use efficiency may be offset by the rebound effect, which means the goal of water saving by improving agricultural water use efficiency is not achieved. Based on the definition of the rebound effect of ag…
Heatwave effects on gross primary production of northern mid-latitude ecosystems
Heatwave events are expected to become more frequent and intense in the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere in the future. However, our knowledge of the impacts of these extreme temperature events on ecosystem functions is still limited. We investigated the responses of ecosystem gross primary productivity ( GPP ) to heatwaves for nine sites encompassing a wide variety of ecosystem types with long-term (i.e., >7 years) flux and meteorologica…
Effects of Pre-Oxidation on Haloacetonitrile and Trichloronitromethane Formation during Subsequent Chlorination of Nitrogenous Organic Compounds
The reaction between organic matter and disinfectants leads to the formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water. With the improvement of detection technology and in-depth research, more than 1000 kinds of DBPs have been detected in drinking water. Nitrogenous DBPs (N-DBPs) are more genotoxic and cytotoxic than the regulated DBPs. The main methods are enhanced coagulation, pretreatment, and depth technologies which based are on co…
Preparation of Ceramsite Based on Waterworks Sludge and Its Application as Matrix in Constructed Wetlands
The recycling of waterworks sludge has become a trending issue because it not only solves the problem of difficult disposal but also saves land resources. This paper aimed to provide a new idea for the utilization of waterworks sludge to form ceramsite and to purify sewage. The specific surface area, average pore size, and pore volume of the made ceramsite were 8.15 m 2 /g, 8.53 nm, and 1.88 cm 2 /g, respectively. The made ceramsite was applied i…
