The beet webworm (BWW), Loxostege sticticalis (L.), is a notorious migratory agriculture pest of crops and fodder plants, inducing sudden outbreaks and huge losses of food and forage production. Quantifying its spatiotemporal patterns and possible dynamics under future climate scenarios may have significant implications for management policies and practices against this destructive agriculture pest.

- Human activities play a crucial role in shaping grassland ecosystem functions, especially impacting plant biomass in China's Loess Plateau between 2000 and 2022.
- The study found positive effects on aboveground biomass (AGB) increasing by 0.29 g/m² per year, while negative effects decreased by 0.31 g/m² per year, with 32% of grasslands showing significant positive effects.
- Key factors influencing these outcomes included agricultural practices and population dynamics, with some activities like livestock farming having both beneficial and detrimental impacts, suggesting a need for balanced management strategies to maintain grassland health.
Current cloud computing causes serious restrictions to safeguarding users' data privacy. Since users' sensitive data is submitted in unencrypted forms to remote machines possessed and operated by untrusted service providers, users' sensitive data may be leaked by service providers. Program obfuscation shows the unique advantages that it can provide for cloud computing.

The vegetation cover of the Chinese Loess Plateau, one of the most erosive regions in the world, has been greatly increased. However, studies on quantitatively investigating the climate change and human activities on vegetation coverage change were rare.
