Close‐to‐nature management regulates ecosystem carbon storage through its effects on vegetation community structure in Pinus massoniana plantations

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Forest plantations play an increasingly important role in climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration, yet management strategies that enhance long‐term ecosystem carbon storage remain insufficiently understood. We investigated the effects of more than a decade of close‐to‐nature management on community structure and ecosystem carbon storage ...

Larval antibiosis to cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is absent within oilseed rape (Brassica napus)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We screened a panel of 98 Brassicaceae genotypes (97 Brassica napus and 1 Sinapis alba) for cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) larval antibiosis. We found limited evidence for antibiosis across B. napus but consistent antibiosis in S. alba. Brassicaceae relatives may therefore better inform resistance traits for breeding.

Effects of timed LED regimes on tomato plant traits, performance of two‐spotted spider mites, and predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.
Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

Main controlling factors and distribution of high-quality deep dolomite reservoirs in typical cratonic basins in China

Journal of Natural Gas Geoscience, 2018
Deep dolomite in cratonic basins is an essential target for future natural gas exploration in China. Statistical analyses of major cratonic basins in China, such as the Sichuan, Tarim, and Ordos basins, indicate that the major types of deep dolomite ...

Effect of Intrinsic Carbon in Hot Briquetted Iron on Melting and Refining Efficiency under Electric Arc Furnace Conditions for Sustainable Steelmaking with Active Use of H2‐Reduced Iron

steel research international, EarlyView.
The melting behavior of hot briquetted iron (HBI) is observed and compared with FactSage computing simulation. When using HBI in an electric arc furnace process, a proper design of intrinsic carbon content in HBI, charging ratio of HBI, and addition of lime are proposed to be essential to control the slag volume, maintain slag basicity, and mitigate ...

Double Slag Operating Standard for Mitigation of CO2 Emissions in Basic Oxygen Steelmaking

steel research international, EarlyView.
Basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking uses a double slag process (DSP) to produce low‐phosphorus steel. To reduce carbon emissions in a BOF, the hot metal ratio (HMR) must be lowered. The present article describes the optimal conditions for DSP operations under low‐HMR conditions: temperature of 1360 ± 5 °C, total Fe content of 10 ± 2 wt%, basicity (=

Two‐Stage Dolomite Formation in Carbonate Platforms Revealed by Carbonate Clumped Isotope Thermometry

Geophysical Research Letters
The “dolomite problem” refers to the scarcity of dolomite in Cenozoic marine environments compared with its abundance in earlier strata. This discrepancy has been attributed to changes in marine environments or to insufficient thermal maturity required ...

Coupled intra‐ and inter‐tunnel short‐range order in hollandites: a case study of mannardite Ba[(Ti4+)6(V3+)2]O16

Acta Crystallographica Section B, EarlyView.
Single‐crystal X‐ray diffuse scattering combined with Monte Carlo simulations and 3D‐ΔPDF analysis reveals complex short‐range order in mannardite, involving coupled Ba–Ba interactions within and between tunnels and framework relaxation.Mannardite, Ba[(Ti4+)6(V3+)2]O16, a mineral of the hollandite supergroup, is characterized by a tunnel structure ...

Climate Change and (Mal)Adaptation in Tourism‐Intensive Alpine Regions

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Tourism, especially in winter, accounts for a large share of economic income in Alpine regions. At the same time, these regions are more severely affected by climate change, leading to shorter winter seasons and reduced snow cover. This presents a pressing issue for areas reliant on income from winter tourism through activities such as skiing.
