Article Synopsis
- Old trees play crucial ecological and cultural roles, but understanding their survival in areas affected by human activities is still limited.
- Using a massive database of nearly 1.8 million old trees from China, the study identified key species traits, such as height and leaf size, that predict long-term survival in urbanized environments.
- The research highlighted that species linked to human use thrive in heavily cultivated regions, whereas wild species are more resilient in mountainous areas, showing how different species react to human influence and environmental conditions.
Background: In the past years, significant progress has been made to develop and use experimental settings for extensive data collection on tobacco smoke exposure and tobacco smoke exposure-associated diseases. Due to the growing number of such data, there is a need for domain-specific standard ontologies to facilitate the integration of tobacco exposure data.

Rationale: Growing proportions of smokers in the USA do not smoke everyday and can be referred to as light and intermittent smokers (LITS). Despite a current prevalence of LITS in the USA estimated at 25-33% of all smokers, a systematic review of the literature on this group of smokers has yet to be written.
Objectives: The aim of this paper is to review and evaluate research on LITS and to identify, describe and discuss commonalities and differences between LITS and daily smokers.
