Nitrogen form regulates source-sink dynamics, flowering performance, and tuber development in container-grown Jerusalem artichoke revealed by 15N tracing

Optimizing nitrogen (N) form is essential for improving the ornamental quality, tuber yield, and N use efficiency of Jerusalem artichoke ( Helianthus tuberosus L.; JA). This study investigated the effects of different N forms on growth, flowering, photosystem II efficiency, tuber...

IoT-enabled environmental monitoring and adaptive governance for ecotourism areas

Abstract Ecotourism areas require timely and adaptive environmental governance to balance ecological conservation with increasing tourism activities. However, existing studies primarily emphasize environmental sensing and data acquisition, while insufficient attention has been de...

Thermal Performance Optimization of a Phase Change Material (PCM)-Based Thermal Energy Storage System

The mismatch between the availability of thermal energy and demand for it is a principal obstacle to the wider adoption of solar-thermal and waste-heat-recovery systems. Latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) using phase change materials (PCMs) offers compact, near-isothermal...

Agronomic and socio-economic assessments of the roles of earthworms and termite mounds in paddy fields

Bioturbation, the physical disturbance and mixing of soil layers caused by the activity of living organisms, such as earthworms and termites, plays a critical role in shaping soil structure, enhancing nutrient cycling, and regulating ecosystem dynamics. In paddy fields, earthworm...
