Spatiotemporal Pattern Evolution and Driving Mechanisms of World Botanical Gardens Over Five Centuries

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents a comprehensive review of the 500‐year spatiotemporal evolution of global botanical gardens, identifying three major development stages—initial exploration (1543–1699), steady expansion (1700–1899), and rapid proliferation (1900–2020)—with six distinct sub‐stages. We propose a tripartite driving framework grounded in colonial botany

ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

ABSTRACT A recent UN report describes many regions as facing ‘water bankruptcy,’ a condition in which available water resources can no longer meet existing demands. In practice, this means irrigation will likely bear the greatest burden of future water‐use reductions, a complicated and fraught decision to make given its critical role in food security ...
