Spatiotemporal evolution of ecosystem services and its potential drivers in coalfields of Shanxi Province, China

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Coal contributes considerably to economic and social development. Its economic benefits have been in focus, whereas the ecosystem services (ESs) that coalfields provide have been largely neglected, and the research on driving force is not deep enough. We

Quantitative Analysis of Wind Erosion Drivers Using Explainable Artificial Intelligence: A Case Study from Inner Mongolia, China

Land
Wind erosion is a multidimensional, dynamic process driven by natural and anthropogenic factors, but existing statistical methods struggle to capture its complex nonlinear relationships, resulting in incomplete quantification of drivers and their spatial

Sustainable Materials Design With Multi‐Modal Artificial Intelligence

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Critical mineral scarcity, high embodied carbon, and persistent pollution from materials processing intensify the need for sustainable materials design. This review frames the problem as multi‐objective optimization under heterogeneous, high‐dimensional evidence and highlights multi‐modal AI as an enabling pathway.

Micro‐Galvanic Coupling Programs the Therapeutic Zinc Ion Window to Reconfigure Immune Cascades for Pro‐Regenerative Bone Healing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study utilized alloy micro‐galvanic coupling design to regulate the release of essential elements, thereby programming immune responses and promoting regeneration. The sacrificial anodic process of Zn‐0.8Mg reduced Zn2+ release compared to the “large cathode‐small anode” coupling of Zn‐0.8Fe.

Neglecting non-photosynthetic vegetation leads to serious underestimation of the wind erosion prevention service provided by the Grain for Green Program in Inner Mongolia, China

International Journal of Digital Earth
Wind erosion is a major driver of land degradation in drylands. China’s Grain for Green Program (GGP) aims to mitigate this by converting cropland to forest and grassland.

Astrocytic FDX1 Contributes to Copper Dyshomeostasis‐associated Synaptic Dysfunction in Depression and Is Modulated by Exercise

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic stress disrupts copper homeostasis and promotes copper accumulation in the prelimbic cortex, leading to astrocytic FDX1 upregulation. Elevated astrocytic FDX1 impairs calcium signaling, induces structural atrophy, and disrupts synaptic function, contributing to depressive‐like behaviors. Physical exercise reverses these alterations by restoring
