Superstrong and Tough Biomimetic Lignin‐Based Hydrogel Enabled by Self‐Diffusion Driven Strategy for Self‐Powered Human Dynamic Healthcare Monitoring

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Biomass‐based hydrogels are widely regarded as ideal substrates for self‐powered wearable sensors. However, the practical applications of hydrogels are commonly limited by their inherent low strength and toughness, which restrict their capacity to withstand repeated stretching, bending and other mechanical loads arising from human motion in ...

Ecohydrological characteristics of biocrusts explain divergent responses of biocrusts and grasses to rainfall reduction

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2843-2860, September 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Drylands are mainly structured by both vascular plants and biological soil crusts (biocrusts), the latter often regarded as a self‐organizing component of these ecosystems.

Seasonal Spatial Population Density Distribution Dynamics of Lynx and Ungulate Prey in Cold‐Temperate Coniferous Forests 寒温带针叶林猞猁和有蹄类猎物种群密度空间分布的季节性动态研究

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 225-235, June 2026.
This study used camera trap data from 6 years between 2016 and 2021 and generalized linear mixed models to explore the factors that influence the spatial density distribution of lynx and its prey populations in warm and cold seasons in Inner Mongolia Hanma National Nature Reserve, China.

Symbiotic Germination Technique of an Endangered Epiphytic Orchid Dendrobium sinominutiflorum: A Promising Conservation Application 濒危附生兰科植物勐海石斛 (Dendrobium sinominutiflorum) 的共生萌发技术:一种具有应用前景的保护策略

Integrative Conservation, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 192-204, June 2026.
We developed an effective ex‐situ conservation approach for an endangered orchid species, Dendrobium sinominutiflorum. A compatible fungal strain Tulasnella sp. was obtained by using in‐situ seed baiting technique. The Symbiotic germination with Tulasnella sp. significantly promotes seed germination and seedling growth.

Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Robust metrics for quantifying and comparing resistance and recovery in experimental studies

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 6-14, January 2026.
Abstract Various indices have been developed to experimentally quantify resistance and recovery (two components of engineering resilience) in response to anthropogenic and natural disturbances. This diversity complicates the selection of appropriate metrics for comparing resilience across ecosystems and studies.

Aridity and grazing are associated with reduced trait complementarity and higher invasion intensity of Solanum rostratum in native plant communities

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 3255-3268, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The biotic resistance hypothesis (BRH) of Elton posits that diverse communities are more resistant to biological invasions. While the effects of climatic stresses and human disturbances on community invasibility have been extensively studied individually, their combined

Assessing the Corn Belt as an anthropogenic barrier to migrating landbirds in the United States

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Migrating landbirds adjust their flight and stopover behaviors to efficiently cross inhospitable geographies, such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Sahara Desert. In addition to these natural barriers, birds may increasingly encounter anthropogenic barriers created by large‐scale changes in land use. One such barrier could be the Corn Belt in the

On the normative roles of biodiversity and naturalness in conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Nature is an opaque concept. Consequently, the term biodiversity conservation has replaced nature conservation in most conservation contexts. We review the conceptual indeterminacies that plague the terms nature and natural but then show that comparable difficulties plague biodiversity.

基于GIS的干热河谷植被恢复分区研究——以攀枝花城市视野区为例

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2003
以攀枝花视野区为例,研究了基于GIS的干热河谷区植被恢复适宜性评价及分区方法.在干热河谷植被恢复适宜性评价及分区中,主要考虑对植被类型及植物生长影响较大的海拔高度、坡向、坡度、岩土类型、土层厚度等因素,并采用专家评分法给各影响因子权重和适宜性评价赋值.经过GIS的数据处理、空间分析、模型建立及运算,得到植被恢复适应性评价图,再经过分类、合并,将攀枝花市视野区划分为适宜区、较适宜区、较不适宜区、不适宜区、极不适宜区,得到植被恢复分区图.
