A theory of urban park geography
, 2008 A theory of urban park values is presented using the theory of island biogeography as an analogue. The theory predicts that two factors—the size of park and distance from concentrated human habitation—influence the diversity of park values.

Opportunity or orientation? Who uses urban parks and why.
PLoS ONE, 2014 There is growing recognition that interactions with nature provide many desirable human well-being outcomes, yet increasing urbanization is degrading the quality and quantity of nature experiences. Thus, it has become increasingly important to understand

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Foliar spraying of CS‐CDs can form a film on the leaves of Brassica rapa, effectively reducing the enrichment and absorption of PS in the leaves, while increasing the biomass and nutrient content of the plants. In addition, CS‐CDs can also enrich the interfoliar microbial community and activate the plant's own defense metabolic pathways.

Urban Parks and their Cooling Potential: Evaluating how Park Characteristics Affects Land Surface Temperature [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesUrbanization significantly alters city landscapes, exacerbating the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, where cities experience significantly higher temperatures compared to their rural surroundings due to impervious surfaces and heat emissions.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Herein, we propose a solar‐powered heavy metal trap (SPHT) for sludge disposal. The indoor experiments demonstrated that the sludge water content decreased from 90 % to 31 %, coupled with a decrease in heavy metal content to 6 % at most. Furthermore, the designed SPHT generated an initial potential of 0.10 V, and monitoring this hydrovoltaic potential ...

Hydrothermal Embedding of Pd Single Atoms Into SnO2 for Efficient CO Oxidation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.By applying hydrothermal regulation to SnO2‐supported PdO, we achieve atomic dispersion of Pd into the SnO2 lattice, which activates the lattice oxygen neighboring Pd atoms to generate oxygen vacancies and facilitates subsequent O2 activation, thereby promoting CO oxidation to proceed via a low‐energy‐barrier MvK pathway while avoiding CO poisoning ...
