How participation in collective action shapes income and equity in large-scale ecological restoration
Collective action is increasingly recognized as a critical yet understudied mechanism for achieving equity and sustainability in Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) programs. This study investigates how village-level collective participation shapes income growth and income inequality among farm households under China’s Grain for Green Program (GFGP), one of the world’s largest ecological restoration initiatives. Using household survey data from…

The Relationship Between Soil Organic Matter Composition and Soil Enzymes Activities in Various Land Use Types in the Upper Watershed of Danjiangkou Reservoir in China
Soil organic matter (SOM) was the primary component of the global terrestrial carbon sink. Soil enzymes were important drivers of soil metabolism facilitating the materials cycling and the energy flow in soils. However, the relationship between soil enzymes and SOM composition in various land use types had not been clearly understood. In the current study, pyrolysis gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py‐GC/MS) was used to analyze the SOM compo…
Does forest immersion benefit everyone? Investigating baseline stress and scene type as thresholds for neuropsychological restoration
This study investigates the neuropsychological effects of forest immersion on individuals with varying baseline stress levels. A total of 120 participants from Nanjing, China, were categorized into low, moderate, and high-stress groups based on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Participants engaged in seated and guided walking experiences in three distinct forest environments: dense forest, grassland-water, and woodland edge. Pre- and post-immers…
Adapting to change
COVID-19 reshaped forest-based visitor behaviour, creating lasting new normal trend. • Remote forest-immersive activities surged while popular routes saw less traffic. • Seasonal and spatial patterns decentralized, with more between-park movement. • Health crises highlight trees and forests role in supporting people’s health. • We offer insights for park management amid COVID-19′s new normal and future crises. The COVID-19 pandemic has substantia…
Linking forests, coasts, and people
Forest reserves offer restorative and immersive experiences for individual psychological well-being. • Coastal reserves promote social bonding and relaxation through group activities and open environments. • Forests mainly support personal health, while coasts foster collective wellness. • Landscape structure and trail systems drive wellness in forests. • Climatic comfort and blue-green space are key for coastal wellness experiences. Nature reser…
Adaptive forest conservation in southwest China’s biodiversity hotspot
Forest fragmentation disrupts ecological processes and negatively impacts ecosystem health and human benefits. Forest landscape dynamics are influenced by both natural factors and human activities. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for sustainable forest management and conservation. This study analyzes the forest landscape dynamics in Yunnan Province, China, in 2000, 2010 and 2020 using Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA). The fin…
From Urban Dynamics to Intelligence
Research on Companion-Based Forest Therapy and Its Physiological and Psychological Benefits to College Students
With the growing pressures of modern society, physical and mental health issues have emerged as critical global concerns. Forest therapy (FT), a novel health management model that integrates natural environments with physical and mental healing, has gained increasing attention in recent years. However, mainstream FT approaches often overlook the psychological value of interpersonal interaction. Building upon traditional FT, this study proposes a …

Examining the audiovisual therapy effects on hospital groups of varying linear canopy landscapes and those with hydrodynamic forces
Recent research has highlighted the beneficial effects of urban green spaces on physical and mental health. This study focused on the hospital population and innovatively subdivided the population into four groups: doctors, caregivers, patients and nurses. A total of 96 volunteers participated in this virtual reality experiment to assess the restoration of a linear canopy landscape and a landscape with different levels of hydrodynamics through in…
A way for livelihood improvement
Bamboo, widely known as "poor man's timber" or "green gold," is a key forest resource distributed across tropical and subtropical regions. It is vital for its social, economic, cultural, and ecological benefits, demanding in-depth research for sustainable development. Despite its potential contribution to sustainable development, previous studies on bamboo have been geographically and methodically limited, lacking a comprehensive analysis of its …
Reforestation, livelihoods and income equality
Despite global momentum in restoration activities, their socio‐economic implications are little studied. Thus far, the limited evidence available tends to overlook equity and equality outcomes. In this work, we aimed at investigating fairness within the Chinese Conversion of Cropland to Forest Program (CCFP), given the relevance of local people's support for the long‐term success of land restoration and for the inherent belief that equity should …

Impacts of Covid-19 pandemic on urban park visitation
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in over 33 million confirmed cases and over 1 million deaths globally, as of 1 October 2020. During the lockdown and restrictions placed on public activities and gatherings, green spaces have become one of the only sources of resilience amidst the coronavirus pandemic, in part because of their positive effects on psychological, physical and social cohesion and spiritual wellness. This study analyzes the impacts …
The impact of meteorological conditions on Air Quality Index under different urbanization gradients
Cognitive persistence of soundscape in urban parks
Technical efficiency analysis of the conversion of cropland to forestland program in Jiangxi, Shaanxi, and Sichuan
Conversion of Cropland to Forestland Program (CCFP) has greatly impacted China’s agricultural sector, and more specifically rural farmers. While changes in living standards as a result of the implementation of the CCFP have been analyzed, little research has been conducted regarding the impacts of such policies on farming operations. As agriculture contributes nearly 10% of national GDP, it is important to analyze the implications of policies on …
Public Awareness and Perceptions of Watershed Management in the Min River Area, Fujian, China
With the increasing magnitude and frequency of natural disasters in China, environmental issues are of major concern to governments and the general public. Using questionnaire surveys, we examined public perceptions of environmental problems resulting from economic development in the Min River Watershed, China. This study found that public awareness and understanding of environmental issues were high. Two major concerns identified were water poll…
