ABSTRACT The expansion of farmland non‐grain production (NGP) poses a potential threat to food security and agricultural land protection, particularly in mountainous urban agglomerations. However, the utilization patterns, driving mechanisms, and associated production‐loss effects of farmland NGP in this specific regional context remain insufficiently ...

ABSTRACT Understanding the multiscale patterns and interactions of cultivated land multifunctionality is important for conservation, governance, and agricultural spatial optimization in the Dongting Lake region. Using 2020 data, we evaluated economic production (EPF), social security (SSF), landscape‐based recreation (LRF), and ecological maintenance ...

ABSTRACT Mining in the karst regions of southwest China threatens ecosystem stability and accelerates land degradation. Regional evaluation rarely distinguishes between degradation pathways in open‐pit and underground operations, due to spatial heterogeneity and geomorphological confounding effects.

Abstract Statistical analysis is a cornerstone of scientific research, yet young researchers in aquatic sciences often struggle when analyses begin without a clearly defined research question or a solid understanding of the data structure. This disconnect between data collection and analytical decision‐making recurrently drives unreliable findings ...

ABSTRACT The escalating global crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), particularly among the ESKAPE group, necessitates the discovery of novel therapeutic agents. Soil ecosystems represent a vast, under‐explored repository of microbial secondary metabolites with potent antimicrobial properties. This study aimed to identify soil‐derived bacteria with

Property Rights Entrepreneurship: The Drive for Product, Asset, and Resource Excludability
ABSTRACT Property rights are foundational to market economies, and entrepreneurial activity depends heavily on the excludability afforded by property rights. Yet, the role of entrepreneurs in shaping the evolution of property rights has been so thoroughly taken for granted that it often vanishes from analyses.

Rearrangement Towards Stability: Plastic Shakedown in Granular Materials Under Thermal Cycles
ABSTRACT Granular materials are routinely subjected to thermal cycling due to natural and anthropogenic phenomena. Despite the ubiquity of this occurrence and its relevance for science, engineering, and technology, the long‐term thermo‐mechanical response of granular materials to repeated heating and cooling remains poorly understood.

Life history stability under climate change: a wildflower at the northern edge of its range
Stabilities of life history traits for a widespread native perennial wildflower, Rudbeckia laciniata L., are described for five populations near the northern edge of its range in North America. Theory proposes that such populations experience variable levels of stress as suitable abiotic conditions shift north or south from year to year, which ...

Bone Adaptation and Labor Organization in Co‐Located Medieval Anatolian Populations
ABSTRACT Skeletal evidence from geographically co‐located populations offers a rare opportunity to disentangle subsistence‐driven bone adaptation from socially organized labor. This study examines upper limb morphology in two Byzantine communities—the urban center of Tyana (10th–13th c.
