Mapping and assessment of karst landscape aesthetic value from a world heritage perspective: a case study of the Huangguoshu Scenic area

open access: yesHeritage Science
Aesthetic value is an essential component of outstanding universal value (OUV) for natural world heritage (NWH) site. However, comparisons of aesthetic value lack a set of effective evaluation systems.

From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...

Advancements in ecological assets and ecological product supply: in-depth insights from Karst World Heritage sites

open access: yesHeritage Science
Ecological assets (EA) are fundamental to the supply of ecological products (EP). They underpin the provision of ecological functions by ecosystems, their existence, and health.

Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda)

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

Interpretation of bacterial composition patterns and community assembly processes in the rhizosphere soil of tea trees in karst areas

open access: yesBMC Microbiology
Research background and purpose Soil microorganisms that are closely related to plants are important factors affecting plant health. Therefore, elucidating the abundant and rare bacterial species in soil associated with plant diseases is crucial for ...

Research advance for uranium isotope as a quantitative proxy for paleo-oceans anoxic or oxic environment

open access: yesCarsologica Sinica
Compared with other elements that are sensitive to redox environments (U, Mo, V, S, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni), uranium isotopes have the advantage to quantitatively reflect long-term and global-scale paleoredox of oceans, due to its uniform composition in the ...

Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) maps provide a high‐resolution representation of the habitat available in a species’ range and can support conservation policy and planning processes. However, until recently, there was insufficient knowledge on the distribution of inland wetlands and freshwater biodiversity to develop AOH mapping methods specifically ...
