Development of suitable ecological protection and restoration policies for sustainable management needs to assess the potential impacts of future land use and climate change on ecosystem services. The two ecological shelters and three belts (TSTB) are significant for improving ecosystem services and ensuring China's and global ecological security. In this study, we simulated land use in 2050 and estimated the spatial distribution pattern of net primary productivity (NPP), water yield, and soil conservation from 2010 to 2050 under future climate change.

The soil and water loss problem in rock mining areas is an extremely serious problem,and microbes play significant roles in ecological restoration of those areas.In this study,directive screening was used to explore the efficiency of microbe-mediated habitat restoration and the underlying mechanisms.A bacterial strain NLX-4,which was then identified as according to its 16S rRNA gene sequence,was screened out as an efficient silicate dissolution bacterium with the ability to secrete siderophore and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA).

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to see how magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (MI) affects liver injury caused by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats, focusing on phospholipase A2 (PLA2) levels.
  • 24 rats were divided into three groups: a control group without ischemia, an I/R injury group, and a MI-treated group, with various tests performed to measure liver damage markers and enzyme levels.
  • Results showed that MI treatment significantly reduced levels of PLA2, TNFa, and other liver damage indicators compared to the I/R group, suggesting MI may protect against liver damage from I/R injury.

The adsorption of chlorpyrifos and triazophos on bentonite and humus was investigated by using the equilibrium oscillometry. The adsorption capacity of chlorpyrifos and triazophos on humus was great higher than bentonite at the same concentration. Equilibrium data of Langmuir, Freundlich isotherms showed significant relationship to the adsorption of chlorpyrifos and triazophos on humus (chlorpyrifos: R2 0.

The study on the soil infiltration under different main vegetation types in Anji County of Zhejiang Province showed that the characteristics of soil infiltration differed significantly with land use type, and the test eight vegetation types could be classified into four groups, based on soil infiltration capability. The first group, deciduous broadleaved forest, had the strongest soil infiltration capability, and the second group with a stronger soil infiltration capability was composed of grass, pine forest, shrub community and tea bush. Bamboo and evergreen broadleaved forest were classified into the third group with a relatively strong soil infiltration capability, while bare land belonged to the fourth group because of the bad soil structure and poorest soil infiltration capability.
