ABSTRACT For post‐mining landscapes, erosion rates need to be demonstrably similar to that of the surrounding areas. Post‐mining landscapes are assessed (usually with a numerical model) to determine their erosion potential both in the pre‐ and post‐construction phases. Field plots, which rely on natural rainfall, provide the most reliable data; however,

ABSTRACT Ecosystem services (ES) play a crucial role in sustainable development. We systematically assessed the spatial and temporal dynamics of ecosystem service supply (ES‐s) and demand (ES‐d) in China from 1990 to 2020 by using a supply–demand matrix integrated with land use/cover data. The findings indicate that in 2020, grasslands accounted for 28.

Incorporating 0.3 wt.% COOH‐functionalized MWCNTs, well dispersed via ultrasonication, into epoxy significantly enhances tribological and mechanical performance, reducing wear by 82% and COF by 32%. During sliding, friction breaks down MWCNTs into graphitic fragments, which are slowly released, forming a protective tribofilm.
