Exploring the contribution of geopedology to the implementation of national frameworks for land degradation neutrality

, 2023
This chapter proposes a conceptual framework for integrating geopedology in the preliminary assessments required to establish the baseline for land degradation neutrality (LDN) at national or sub-national levels and to monitor outcomes of interventions ...

Two Routes to Land: Genomic Underpinnings of Parallel Aerial Egg Deposition in Aquatic Old‐World Pila and New‐World Pomacea (Ampullariidae)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.

Achieving High‐Density and Stress‐Resilient Maize Breeding Via Germplasm Innovation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Global population growth and climate change have exacerbated the global food crisis. This perspective presents a conceptual framework focusing on enhancing population advantages. Several novel breeding objectives are proposed to improve density tolerance and stress resistance for yield improvement.

Multi-Sensor Evaluating Effects of an Ecological Water Diversion Project on Land Degradation in the Heihe River Basin, China

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
To deal with the increasingly severe land degradation in the downstream of the Heihe River Basin (HRB) in northwest China, an Ecological Water Diversion Project (EWDP) was implemented since 2000.

Ultrafast, High‐Capacity Uranium Harvesting From Seawater via a Hierarchically Porous Polymer Electrode

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hierarchically porous AOPIM‐CNT electrode enables uranium harvesting from seawater via adsorption‐promoted electrodeposition. Rapid diffusion and selective adsorption are coupled with electrochemical crystallization and spontaneous detachment, creating a self‐refreshing process that sustains high‐capacity, continuous extraction from ultradilute ...

Catalytic Enantioselective Multicomponent Reactions of Sulfoxonium Ylides Enabled by a Formal Rearrangement—A Versatile Entry to Enantioenriched α‐Sulfanyl Carbonyl Compounds

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A catalytic network embedding a formal rearrangement enables the first catalytic enantioselective multicomponent reaction (MCR) of sulfur ylides. In the presence of a bulky chiral phosphoric acid, the reaction combines sulfoxonium ylides, aldehydes and thiols, and affords synthetically versatile β‐hydroxy‐α‐sulfanyl carbonyl compounds in ...
