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

Integrative 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.

Higher NO3−‐N Levels Under Mulberry (Morus alba L.) Planting Enhanced CAZyme Abundance, Increasing Soil Carbon Stability

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Afforestation is widely advocated for boosting carbon (C) sequestration.
