Landscape structure and spatial pattern are the core issues in landscape ecology. The application of graph theory provides a research framework for landscape pattern analysis. Landscape graph based on graph theory is gradually applied to the connectivity modeling of biodiversity conservation and decision support of landscape planning.

This study is the first to use a response surface method to optimize the main parameters of rhamnolipid-based recovery of oil from oily sludge.

Based on the data from the vegetation normalization index, daytime temperature (T), nighttime temperature (T), precipitation, and elevation from 1982 to 2015, we examined the day-night warming response of 42 types of natural vegetation in China. The results showed that both the temperature at day and night was significantly increased in the study area, with obvious asymmetry.

Four towns in Kaifeng, which are within the lower reaches of the Yellow River, were selected as the study area. The examination of wheat samples revealed that the average contents of Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn, Ni, and Hg in the wheat grains were 0.

The results showed that, on average, Zn was the highest, 112.87 mg·kg, followed by Cr, the smallest average of Cd was only 0.

The results showed that (1) as Among the average contents of the five heavy metals Pb, Cr, Hg, As and Cd, the highest was the average content of Cr, and the lowest was the average content of Pb and Hg. In addition to Hg, the coefficients of variation of other heavy metals were relatively small, indicating that the content of heavy metals was quite different at different sites, and to some extent, relecting that Hg, As and Pb were the major elements polluting the soil, among which, Pb pollution was the pollution with universality.
