Millennial landscape and tourist development in China. The case of the Hani rice terraces in Yunnan

Via@, 2020
Between 1995 and 2015, I conducted fieldwork in a rice-growing village in southwest China as an artist-researcher. In this text, I examine the profound changes taking place in rural border areas inhabited by non-Han minorities, and particularly those of ...

A statistical model of land use/cover change integrating logistic and linear models: An application to agricultural abandonment

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2023
Several land use/cover change (LUCC) models have been developed to simulate future LUCC. However, current models work with the assumption that the input non-spatial variables are significant to the LUCC in hand and there is still a lack of model that ...

Defect‐Templated Phase Engineering in Atomically Thin Metals

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Graphene defects are transformed from passive imperfections into programmable templates for phase‐selective growth of atomically thin silver. Plasma‐generated boundary defects favor Ag(1), whereas sp3‐rich zero‐layer graphene promotes Ag(2). This defect‐directed intercalation links local graphene chemistry to crystalline phase, electronic structure ...

Second‐Generation Polyhydroxybutyrate Production From Pretreated Corn Lignocellulosic Fraction as a Strategy to Repurpose by Products From the Corn‐Processing Chain

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lignocellulosic residues are non‐cost, non‐edible, renewable feedstocks that can be used in polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production. PHB is a bioplastic synthetized by microorganisms, formed intracellularly under stressful growth conditions; however, its production costs are high, representing the major drawback for fossil‐based plastics ...

Impact of touristification and landscape pattern on habitat quality in the Longji Rice Terrace Ecosystem, southern China, based on geographically weighted regression models

Ecological Indicators
Although the roles of tourism development and landscape value in the conservation of rice terraces have become increasingly important in recent years, rice terraces still face abandonment and desertification. Habitat quality (HQ) assessments evaluate the

Industrial Symbiosis as a Neglected Opportunity in Industrial Decarbonisation Pathways: Qualitative Insights From the Australian Manufacturing Sector

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Industrial symbiosis (IS) represents a key strategy for industrial decarbonisation (ID) by converting one industry's waste into valuable inputs for another, reducing emissions and resource extraction. Scientific studies have explored the concept, implementation approaches and theoretical foundations of IS.
