The social-economic-natural system is a complex system for human survival and development, and the data-driven system research provides a new value-added orientation to enhance the cognition of the ecosystem. Under the new data context, the social-economic-natural complex system shows new features. The research object is gradually changing from a single element to a multi-factor coupling direction, which makes the data system more diversified, data sources more extensive, data expression more visualized.

Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) has been widely accepted as a policy tool for promoting ecological and social progress. However, PES development and implementation in traditional agricultural and pastoral areas are often more challenging than in other areas. The contradiction between ecological protection and people's livelihood development in traditional agricultural and pastoral areas is related to developing country's sustainable development strategy.

Tree growth is the main way of carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems, which is influenced by climatic and non-climatic factors. The long-term location monitoring of cambial phenology and wood formation dynamics (xylogenesis) is an important method to clarify the responses of radial growth to climate change. Here, we reviewed studies on cambial phenology and xylogenesis by microcoring method.

The radial growth of eight individuals of and environmental factors were monitored by Dendrometer and automatic meteorological station in the western Qilian Mountains. The Gompertz function fitted results showed that the radial growth of started on April 19, April 17, and April 10 in 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively, and that the radial growth started when daily mean temperature exceeded 5.5 ℃.

Tree-rings of from high (3000 m), middle (2750 m) and low (2500 m) altitudes were collected from the Xiying River basin in the eastern Qilian Mountains, with the standard chronology being established using dendrochronological methods. Results of the correlation analysis between tree-ring width index and temperature and precipitation during different periods showed that radial growth of at different altitudes responded differently to climate warming in the eastern Qilian Mountains. Water and heat availability were the main limiting factors for the radial growth of in the eastern part of Qilian Mountains.

Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the differences in the proteomic expression between uncomplicated parapneumonic pleural effusion (UPPE) and complicated parapneumonic pleural effusion (CPPE).

Material And Methods: There were 10 patients with UPPE and 10 patients with CPPE. These patients were combined due to the complication of pleural effusion and further divided into group A and group B.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of cerebral arterial air embolism.

Clinical Presentation And Intervention: The clinical data of a patient with cerebral arterial air embolism induced during artificial pneumothorax were retrospectively analyzed. The patient needed the induction of artificial pneumothorax for medical thoracoscopy but developed hemiplegia and disturbance of consciousness during the induction.
