Litter layer, serving as the "skin" of forest soil, plays a crucial role in conserving water resources and maintaining soil and water conservation. We analyzed the relationship of tree species richness, community weighted mean traits, and functional diversity with the standing mass, maximum water holding rate, and effective water sto-rage capacity of litters from various tree species including , , , , , , , and their combinations of mixed forests in subtropical region. The results showed that across various tree species combinations, the ranges of maximum water holding rate, standing litter mass and effective water storage capacity of undecomposed layer were 0-419%, 0-0.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of various disabilities (vision, mental, language, psychiatric, extremity, and hearing) in children aged 0 to 7 years in Shenzhen, involving a sample of 77,727 children.
- Results showed an overall disability prevalence of 5.59 per thousand, with mental and language disabilities being the most common, while vision disabilities were the least common, with a noted increase in prevalence with age.
- The findings indicated that while the overall prevalence of disabilities in Shenzhen is lower compared to national rates from 1989, it is still significantly higher than similar studies conducted in Japan, warranting further investigation into possible causes.
