Integrating Ecosystem Service Benefits to Assess Ecosystem Health and Its Response to Land Spatial Structure Conflicts in Anning River Basin, China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land spatial structure conflicts (LSSC) weaken the actual benefits of ecosystem services by inducing trade‐offs among them, directly threatening regional ecosystem health (EH) and sustainable development. However, most studies have failed to incorporate ecosystem service benefits (ESB) into EH assessments and have overlooked their response to ...

Asymmetric Responses of Ecosystem Health to Urbanization in a Typical Karst City: Spatiotemporal Patterns and Driving Mechanisms in Guilin, China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion can substantially reshape ecosystem structure and functioning, especially in ecologically fragile Karst landscapes. Clarifying how ecosystem health (EH) responds to urbanization and identifying the factors that drive spatial variation in EH are important for regional sustainability.

A Study on the Distribution Characteristics of Salinity and Nutrients and the Migration Mechanism of Soil Salt in the Delingha Saline‐Alkali Soil Profile of the Qaidam Basin

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinization negatively impacts the economic development and ecological environment, particularly in the arid and semiarid regions of China. The Qaidam Basin constitutes a major distribution area of saline‐alkali land in the country. However, the distribution patterns of salinity and nutrients within soil profiles and the underlying salt ...

Ultrastable Water‐in‐Water Emulsions by Addition of Polyion Complex Micelles

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Water‐in‐water emulsions from mixtures of dextran and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) prepared in the presence of polyion complex micelles display an increase of stability from few hours to several months. Both dextran‐in‐PEO and PEO‐in‐dextran were stable against coalescence over this period of time.

High‐Fat Diet Exacerbates Neuropathology in a Transgenic Mouse Model of Multiple System Atrophy

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare and devastating neurodegenerative disorder. Accumulating clinical and preclinical evidence suggests that diabetes and insulin resistance may adversely influence MSA pathophysiology. Objective We investigated the potential association between diabetes, impaired glucose homeostasis, and MSA ...
