Trade-off between NTFP harvesting and tourism income in a protected area
Protected areas contribute to poverty alleviation through the provision of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), but relatively few studies have researched the recreational context and the socio-ecological interactions that influence household NTFPs income. Using household surveys in the Yading biosphere reserve (2020-2022), our study investigated factors affecting income of main NTFPs including caterpillar fungus ( Ophiocordyceps sinensis ) and ma…
Habitat–Soil–Food Synergy Amplifies Feedback to Enhance Carbon Sinks in Black Soils Regions
Enhancing the terrestrial ecosystem carbon sink represents a critical strategy for mitigating climate change and advancing sustainable development. In this study, we developed a comprehensive framework that integrated ecosystem service interactions across temporal, spatial, and functional dimensions to identify pathways for enhancing carbon sinks, using Northeast China as a case study. We employed the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services an…
Grazing and Grassland Type Drive Divergent Stability Mechanisms Across Alpine Ecosystems on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau
The Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau (QXP) plays a pivotal role in global biodiversity conservation and climate regulation, but its ecosystem stability is increasingly threatened by climate change and human disturbances. Clarifying the spatial patterns and driving mechanisms of ecosystem stability across the QXP is critical for targeted ecological conservation. By integrating remote sensing data and field surveys at 443 sites, we employed random forest ana…

Economic Inequality Reduces Preferences for Competent Leaders
It is well-documented that economic inequality can harm political stability and social cohesion. In six experiments (total N = 1,907) conducted in China and the United Kingdom, we tested our primary hypothesis that high (vs. low) economic inequality leads to voters’ reduced preferences for competent political leaders. Across studies, this prediction was consistently supported by experimental evidence, regardless of the voter’s social status. We a…

The association between perceived social support and resilience among Chinese university students
This study investigated the relationship between perceived social support and psychological resilience among university students while also exploring the mediating role of coping style and the moderating effect of perceived stress. The study collected data from 1356 university students, and a path analysis was used to test the proposed hypotheses. The results revealed that perceived social support had a significant positive effect on psychologica…
Intergroup threat, knowledge of the outgroup, and willingness to purchase ingroup and outgroup products
Established theories have acknowledged that intergroup threat is one of the key determinants of intergroup attitudes and behaviours, but how intergroup threat can affect consumer behaviour remains unclear. Here, four preregistered studies (total N = 988) examined the effect of intergroup threat (manipulated in terms of realistic and symbolic threats) on consumers’ willingness to purchase ingroup and outgroup products. In the context of China–West…
Afforestation may accelerate the depletion of deep soil moisture on the Loess Plateau
Afforestation is an effective way to restore degraded landscapes and protect ecosystems in arid and semiarid regions. However, the responses of soil moisture content (SMC) to afforestation in deep soil layers as well as the related controlling factors on a regional scale are still poorly understood. In this study, a meta‐analysis compiled a total of 3045 individual measurements in 203 sites, was conducted to evaluate the effects of afforestation …
Financial Development and Environmental Degradation
Emerging countries are approaching economic prosperity. However, the development process has enhanced their ecological footprints, thus promoting low-carbon competitiveness among E7 countries' industries. Therefore, it is essential to identify the factors that affect a country's ecological footprint (EF) in order to safeguard the environment. This study explored the effect of financial development, human capital, and institutional quality on the …
Reduced interactivity during microbial community degradation leads to the extinction of Tricholomas matsutake
Ecosystem degradation is a process during which different ecosystem components interact and affect each other. The microbial community, as a component of the ecosystem whose members often display high reproduction rates, is more readily able to respond to environmental stress at the compositional and functional levels, thus potentially threatening other ecosystem components. However, very little research has been carried out on how microbial comm…
Effects of standing culm density and fertilizer regimes on Dendrocalamus brandisii (Munro) Kurz shoot production at Simao District, southwestern China
Optimum shoot production in Dendrocalamus brandisii (Munro) Kurz depends on either standing culm density (SCD) or application of fertilizer. However, silvicultural application through the combined effect of SCD and fertilizer regimes is not fully understood. In this study, effects of SCD and fertilizer regimes, relationships between silvicultural treatments and growth parameters and model prediction on shoot production were conducted. A split-plo…
Scale effects of sediment retention, water yield, and net primary production
Ecosystem services are generated by ecological processes over a range of scales. Studying the scale effects on ecosystem services is important for exploring the driving mechanisms and conducive to prudent ecological managements. Unfortunately, quantitative testing the scale effects of ecosystem services' associations, as well as identifying the driving mechanisms across scales, has rarely been documented. This study used the Loess Plateau as stud…

Effects of national ecological restoration projects on carbon sequestration in China from 2001 to 2010
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…
Perspectives on policy framework for trans-boundary water quality management in China
In river basins that cross jurisdictional boundaries, water quality degradation has become a crucial problem and results in intensive competition among water users, especially in developing countries. Under this situation, implementing water quality management and control across jurisdictional boundaries can strengthen watershed pollution controls, and prevent pollution from being passed on and promote active pollution control within the related …

The impact of tourism on agriculture in Lugu Lake region
Tourism has had some significant effects on local agriculture as well as the economy and environment in the Lugu Lake area because it has developed so rapidly. This paper analysed the effects of tourism on two villages at different locations. Tourism did not have an obvious impact on agriculture in the village near a tourism hot spot because it has tourism administrators who have developed culture-protecting management measures so that this villa…
Impact of tourism development on land-cover change in a matriarchal community in the Lugu Lake area
Remote sensing was used to assess the impacts of tourism development on temporal land-cover changes in the Lugu Lake region, home to the Mosuo people. The ecological and economic significance of the Lugu Lake area derives from the existence of a unique matriarchal system and the success of tourism development. Temporal land-cover changes between 1990 and 2005 were evaluated using digital interpretation of multi-temporal Landsat TM images. Pairwis…
