Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 334-338, September 2025.This study reports four rare events of spiders preying on vertebrates in the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Southwest China. The predators included a giant golden orb‐weaver, huntsman spiders, and a wandering spider, while the prey consisted of a small bird, a blind snake, a gecko, and a tiny shrew.

Multiple global change factors alter the scaling of nitrogen to phosphorus in alpine plants
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 2044-2055, August 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The stoichiometry and allometry of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) reflect nutrient absorption and dynamic allocation by plants, and can be regulated by global change factors (e.g. nitrogen enrichment, climate warming and altered precipitation). Yet, how multiple global

China's Eco‐Civilisation, Climate Leviathan, and Hobbesian Energy Transition
Antipode, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 830-861, May 2025.Abstract Scholars have hitherto tended to theorise China's ecological civilisation project either as a form of environmental authoritarianism or as a vision of eco‐socialism. This paper contributes to the conversation by conducting a textual analysis of Chinese scholarly discussions on eco‐civilisation.

How Many Floods Have Occurred in China in the Past Decade? A Perspective From Social Media
Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract Global climate change has led to frequent and widespread flood disasters in China. Traditional flood disaster investigations mainly focus on major flood events, and small‐scale flood events are often overlooked. This study utilized the Sina Weibo social media platform to detect flood events in 370 cities in China from 2012 to 2023.

The need for carbon finance schemes to tackle overexploitation of tropical forest wildlife
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Defaunation of tropical forests, particularly from unsustainable hunting, has diminished populations of key seed dispersers for many tree species, driving shifts in forest community composition toward small‐fruited or wind‐dispersed trees with low wood density. Such shifts can reduce aboveground biomass, prompting calls for overexploitation to

Review of Policy Research, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 985-1016, November 2024.Abstract Sustaining agricultural production in arid and semi‐arid regions is of paramount importance to food security, geo‐political independence, and social stability. In this context, it is vital to understand the effectiveness of policies. In this article, we aim to answer the question of what role the state and its policies play for soil protection

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2021 自然条件下降雨多以间歇形式出现，而坡面土壤侵蚀又是一个渐变发育的复杂过程。通过3个雨强（60，90，120 mm/h）、5个坡度（5°，10°，15°，20°，25°）下的15场室内模拟降雨，研究一、二次降雨条件下不同雨强、坡度及降雨量对红壤坡面径流和侵蚀过程的影响，探讨间歇降雨条件下坡面侵蚀发育过程及其主要影响因素的变化。结果表明：（1）二次降雨的产流时间相比一次降雨均提前，一次降雨径流总量受到雨强、坡度和降雨量的共同影响，15°坡度是径流总量变化的一个转折点，二次降雨时降雨量的作用减弱 ...
