Spatial Alignment and Mismatch Between Ecosystem Resilience Potential and Outdoor Recreation Suitability in Giant Panda National Park

China’s national parks must protect ecological integrity while enabling appropriate public access, yet recreation suitability and ecological resilience potential are commonly assessed separately. Taking Giant Panda National Park as a case study, this research develops a contempor...

Research on the Mechanical Behavior and Stability of Shallow Tunnels Crossing through Adversely Varying Surrounding Rock Masses

With the increasing transportation demand in the Yangtze River Delta region of eastern China, shallow-buried large-section tunnels have become the preferred solution for expressway construction in hilly areas because of their technical and economic advantages. In such shallow-bur...

Enhanced eugenol biosynthesis through GmEGS overexpression confers broad‐spectrum pathogen protection in soybean

Soybean is a major source of plant protein and oil, yet its production is severely constrained by diverse pathogen infections. Here, we identify eugenol as a pathogen-induced defense metabolite in soybean with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against fungal, oomycete, and ba...

High-resolution land cover mapping from coarse labels via a noisy label learning-guided cross-scale framework

High-resolution remote sensing images (HRSIs) provide essential data support for land cover mapping, where deep learning has shown great promise. However, deep learning-based methods rely on abundant high-quality annotations, while low-resolution coarse labels are difficult to us...

Customer–Meter Box Relationship Identification Based on Load Switching Dynamic Response

Within the same low-voltage distribution network (LVDN), the short electrical distances between customers lead to highly similar steady-state voltage curves. This reduces the discriminative capability of traditional similarity metrics and limits the accuracy of customer–meter box...

A Detailed Evaluation of the Suitability of Waterbird Habitats in Hangzhou Bay National Wetland Park—A Differential Analysis of Wading Birds and Swimming Birds

Hangzhou Bay is an estuarine ecosystem on the Yangtze River Delta and a key wintering habitat for waterbirds. However, suitable waterbird habitats have been degrading and fracturing. Therefore, we aimed to assess waterbird habitat suitability and identify the principal factors af...

Mechanical properties of cross-laminated bamboo with different structural configurations: Experimental investigation and analytical modeling

Driven by the global demand for green and low-carbon construction materials, Cross-Laminated Bamboo (CLB) has emerged as a viable solution to mitigate the inherent anisotropy of natural bamboo. However, the influence of different cross-sectional configurations on its mechanical p...

Sustainable Phytoremediation of Potentially Toxic Element-Contaminated Soils Using Invasive Plants: Opportunities, Challenges, and Management

Invasive plants produce abundant biomass, while featuring strong environmental adaptability and fast growth rates, which endows them with great potential for phytoremediation of soils contaminated by potentially toxic elements (PTEs). Here, the advantages of using invasive plants...

Effects of N Reduction and Combined with Organic Fertilizer Application on Rice Yield and NH3 Volatilization from Saline Soil

Organic fertilizer (OF) application can significantly enhance soil fertility and crop yield. However, its influence on nitrogen (N) loss via ammonia (NH3) volatilization from reclaimed coastal paddy soil is not well known. We conducted a pot experiment here using cyanobacteria co...

Bond-slip constitutive model for the strand-concrete interface based on pull-out tests

Bond transfer at the strand–concrete interface governs the anchorage behavior of pretensioned concrete structures. Monotonic central pull-out tests were conducted on 39 specimens containing 15.2 mm seven-wire strands to investigate the effects of effective anchorage length, trans...

Photoredox-Enabled Difluoromethylation Cyclization and Quinoxalin-2(1 H )-one Integration: Access to gem -Difluoro-Quinolines

Abstract Herein, a novel protocol for the photoredox-enabled intramolecular difluoromethylation cyclization and intermolecular domino quinoxalin-2(1H)-one integration is established. This version allows facile access to structurally diverse gem-difluoro-quinolines. A wide substra...

Physiological Responses and Absorption Removal Effects of Three Floating Macrophytes to Polystyrene Nanoplastics Pollution

Microplastics exert toxic effects on aquatic plants, thereby impacting ecosystem functions and services. Currently, research on the effects of nanoplastics on aquatic plants has mainly focused on algae, while floating macrophytes have received less attention. To investigate the p...

Hygrothermal reconfiguration of radial chemo-mechanical gradients in arc-shaped natural fiber-reinforced bamboo composite for flattening and panel manufacturing

It remains unclear whether hygrothermal softening controls the deformation of bamboo as a natural fiber-reinforced composite by reshaping its radial physicochemical structures and mechanical-gradient heterogeneity. Here, hygrothermally softened arc-shaped bamboo strips were inves...

Characterization and Preservation of Archaeological Bamboo Cultural Relics: Microstructural, Chemical, and Environmental Perspectives

Bamboo served as an important writing support and raw material for tools and daily objects in ancient Asian societies, yet archaeological bamboo remains far less systematically reviewed than archaeological wood, paper, and parchment. Owing to its lignocellulosic composition and h...

Directed biosynthesis of the designer peptidyl nucleoside antibiotics featuring a simplified azetidine-containing moiety

Fungal and fungal-like pathogen infections pose escalating threats to the global one-health, thus underscoring the urgent need to reverse this trend by accelerating the development of novel antifungal drugs. Polyoxin (POL), a group of structurally related nucleoside antibiotics,...

A surrogate-driven optimization framework for thermal parameter inversion in hydraulic concrete structures

Thermal parameters are key inputs for numerical thermal analysis of hydraulic concrete structures. Under long-term service conditions, however, these parameters may progressively deviate from their design values because of environmental exposure, material deterioration, and compl...

This Perspective summarizes the research strategies, current challenges and potential directions for converting native lignin polymers into pharmaceutical molecules and materials.

Emerging Hotspots of Cropland Expansion on Steeper Tropical Terrains Intensify Tropical Forest Carbon Loss

Abstract Tropical deforestation driven by agricultural expansion to meet growing food demand poses a rising threat to the global carbon cycle. While previous studies quantified agriculture‐related carbon losses, the role of cropland expansion remains poorly resolved, partly becau...

Age-Dependent Heterogeneity Trends in the Associations between Urban Green Space and Cardiovascular Health in a Humid-Subtropical Megacity

Abstract Urban green space (UGS) is a promising nature-based solution for cardiovascular health, yet its associative pathways in pollution-saturated, high-density environments remain contested. We applied a two-stage framework combining gradient boosting decision trees and struct...

Machine Learning-Assisted Nanozyme–Porphyrin Dual-Channel Sensor Array for Glycosaminoglycan Pattern Recognition

Abstract Selective discrimination of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) is crucial for drug safety and quality control but remains challenging because GAGs share similar disaccharide repeating units and overlapping polyanionic features. Nanozyme-based sensor arrays offer a cross-reactive...
