Mapping the “Supply–Demand–Flow” of Ecosystem Services for Ecosystem Management in China
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study develops a “supply–demand–flow” framework clarifies how ecosystem services move between regions by distinguishing potential and actual supply and demand. Using integrated biophysical–socioeconomic modeling, nine services in China were mapped.

Trophic Diversity in Duckweed: Mixotrophy, More Than the Sum of its Extremes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In the context of rising DOC in aquatic environments, mixotrophic duckweed may impact carbon cycling by acting as either a carbon sink, as they absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, or a carbon source, as they release CO2 through respiration of absorbed DOC, which depends on DOC concentration, light availability, temperature, and other environmental ...
