Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

Intact coastal nursery rearing amid climate‐driven phenological shifts in threatened salmon
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Literature linking phenology to climate has proliferated in recent decades and shows that climate change has reorganized seasonal opportunities worldwide. However, this literature often quantifies changes in point measures of timing (e.g., beginnings and peaks) without context about duration (e.g., rearing season length) or performance (e.g ...

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This computational linguistic study analyzes 8743 Rednote posts to examine how sentiment, emotion, and content domain collectively shape social comparison dynamics on social media. We identify four key findings: (1) an emotional gradient, where upward comparison content exhibits the highest sentiment scores and downward comparison the lowest; (

Synthesizing Empirical Research on Learner Metacognition in Second Language Writing
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite considerable research interest in learner metacognition in second language (L2) writing, there is not yet a review that synthesizes the existing empirical findings and discusses their implications. To fill the void, this systematic review synthesized 39 empirical studies on learner metacognition in L2 writing and examined their salient

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2005 研究了次降雨过程中红壤小流域5种不同土地利用方式土壤N,P养分流失特征。结果表明,在降雨后,花生地、花-橘间作、橘园、板栗园和水田5种利用方式表层土壤N,P养分含量均有不同程度下降,其中花生地N,P含量下降最为明显,水田N,P含量降幅则最小;不同形态养分平均降幅依次为有效氮(5.49%)、有效磷(5.25%)、全氮(1.45%)、全磷(0.59%)。各样地地表径流中水溶态N,P养分含量花生地明显高于其他样地,而泥沙中N,P养分含量则以水田最高;各样地侵蚀泥沙中N,P养分有明显的富集现象,板栗园和橘园N ...
