Atmospheric Heavy Metal Pollution Characteristics and Health Risk Assessment Across Various Type of Cities in China

Toxics
This study investigates the spatiotemporal trends and health risks of nine atmospheric heavy metals (Pb, As, Mn, Ni, Cr, Cd, Zn, Cu, Fe) in PM2.5 across 50 Chinse cities, comparing resource-industrial cities (RICs) and general cities (GCs) before (2014 ...

Global Nitrogen Deposition Promotes Carbon Sink Formation in Terrestrial Ecosystems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nitrogen deposition alleviates ecosystem N limitation and enhances carbon sinks. Using 829 observations, we show 36% of deposited N is retained globally (39.15 Tg N yr−1), with distinct NHx and NOy contributions. This retention drives a terrestrial C sink of 0.88 Pg C yr−1 (25.48%), highlighting the importance of pool‐specific C:N stoichiometry ...

Seasonal water level changes affect plant diversity and littoral widths at different elevation zones in the Erhai Lake

Frontiers in Plant Science
The littoral width of lakeshores is crucial for maintaining and promoting plant diversity. However, it remains unclear how changes in seasonal water level affect littoral widths by regulating plant diversity and soil nutrient content. This study selected

Macrophage Extracellular Traps in Immunity and Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As a macrophage‐mediated innate defense mechanism, the dysregulated release of METs drives chronic inflammation and influences tumor progression. Furthermore, METs exhibit a functional duality within the tumor microenvironment, capable of both promoting and suppressing tumor development.

Supporting proactive management in the context of climate change: Prioritizaing range-shifting invasive plants based on impact [PDF]

, 2020
Non-native, invasive plants are projected to shift their ranges with climate change, creating hotspots of risk where a multitude of novel species may soon establish and spread. The Northeast U.S. is one such hotspot. However, because monitoring for novel

Biodiversity offsets can be a valuable tool in achieving sustainable development: Developing a holistic model for biodiversity offsets that incorporates environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainable development [PDF]

, 2019
The interpretation and use of biodiversity offsets in planning and development is a contentious issue because they rarely encompass each of the environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainable development.

Polar Lattice‐Distorted Motifs Enable Synergy of Local Polarization/Dipole Fields for Concurrent Glyphosate Wastewater Remediation and CO Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Photocatalytic treatment of glyphosate herbicide in agricultural wastewater is achieved through the cooperative effect of the local polarization field and dipole field mediated by lattice‐distorted carbon nitride. Glyphosate is completely degraded via selective C─P bond cleavage with a CO evolution rate of 1166 µmol g−1 h−1.
