Several air pollution episodes occurred in China in the past decade, and high levels of aerosols load also caused the changes of radiation, which could further influence the gross primary productivity (GPP) in the terrestrial ecosystem. This paper focuses on the spatiotemporal variations and relationship of aerosol-radiation-GPP in China during a heavy pollution period (2001-2014). For this purpose, the Fu-Liou radiation transfer mechanism model was used to estimate total radiation (TR) and diffuse radiation (DIFR) at the spatial resolution of 1° × 1° based on the satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) and other auxiliary data. This model shows excellent performance with an R of 0.88 and 0.79 for TR and DIFR, respectively. A significant increasing trend (0.23 W m year) in TR was found in China in this phase, and it was mainly attributed to DIFR. Furthermore, a scenario without aerosols (AOD = 0) was simulated as a comparison to quantify the aerosol radiative forcing, which indicated that aerosols play a catalytic role in DIFR, increasing it by approximately 19.55%. Despite all this, aerosols have weakened the brightening of China due to the negative forcing on direct radiation. Meanwhile, 0.65-4.20 kgC m year increase of GPP was also captured in seven regions of China during this phase.However, the significant negative response of GPP to aerosol was found in most ecosystems in the growing season of vegetation, and the highest correlation of -0.76 (p < .01) existed in the central China forest regions. It suggests although aerosol causes a diffuse fertilization effect, GPP is still lost due to high levels of aerosol load in most areas of China during growing season of vegetation. This paper aims to determine the relationship among the aerosol-radiation-ecosystem productivity in different regions of China, which could provide a reference for the divisional strategy formulation and classification management in different ecosystems.

The eukaryotic cell division cycle is a highly conserved process, featuring fluctuations in protein localization and abundance required for key cell cycle transitions. Here, we present a protocol for the spatiotemporal analysis of the proteome during the budding yeast cell division cycle using live-cell imaging. We describe steps for strain construction, cell cultivation, microscopy, and image analysis.

Atmospheric halogens, including fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine(I), significantly impact atmospheric chemistry and climate change. Containing all types of halogens, coal fired power plants (CFPPs) are among the major anthropogenic sources of atmospheric halogens. However, comprehensive estimates of halogen emissions from CFPPs in China remain limited, despite significant advancements in scale and pollution control.

The source-receptor relationship of atmospheric mercury is a critical environmental concern. However, comprehensive evaluations of mercury pollution based on spatially resolved and time-averaged data have not yet been conducted in Korea. In this study, the spatio-temporal variations of total gaseous mercury (TGM) and mercury isotopes were examined using passive air samplers at 30 sites in Ulsan over one year.

Background: Snakebite is a priority neglected tropical disease, but incidence data are lacking; current estimates rely upon incomplete health facility reports or ad hoc surveys. Spatial analysis methods harness statistical associations between case incidence and spatially varying factors to improve estimates. This systematic review aimed to identify variables associated with snakebite risk in spatial and temporal analyses for inclusion in geospatial studies to improve risk estimation accuracy.
