Rice production is sensitive to climate change and significantly affected by warming in recent years. To what extent climate warming shifted rice phenology and varied thermal resource condition were explored across five agro-ecological zones in China, based on up-to-date observations of meteorology and rice cultivation in 1981-2020. It was clearly signaled that there was a general advance of 0.3-3.8 days in observed sowing date and a delay of 0.4-3.5 days in observed maturity date in 2001-2020 relative to 1981-2000 in major zones. A vacant time slice of 2.6-28.8 days between observed sowing date and potential sowing date, and a lag of 15.4-56.7 days in potential maturity date compared to observed maturity date were identified in 2001-2020. Within longer growing season, useful accumulated temperature increased by 76.7-117.6 °C·d in 2001-2020 relative to 1981-2000, while disactive accumulated temperature also increased. In Northeast China, actual rice cultivation was undergoing earlier sowing date than potential sowing date and longer growing duration than potential duration, yet leading to upward disactive accumulated temperature. The decrease in the thermal resource utilization in 2001-2020 relative to 1981-2000 was highlighted at 55.3-78.3% stations in major zones, with a decrement of 0.006-0.018 in average magnitude. The changes in thermal resource utilization unveiled that the shifts in actual rice cultivation still could not compensate for the suitability in thermal resource utilization benefited from climate warming.

Solar-driven desalination technology is currently an important way to obtain freshwater resources. Significantly, porous materials are used as substrate materials of interface solar evaporator, and their specific impact of water transport property and thermal management during evaporation is worth exploring. In this paper, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) sponges were prepared by a chemical foaming method, adjusted the PVA polymerization degree, and formaldehyde-hydroxyl ratio to regulate the pore size, and polypyrrole (PPy) was grown in situ on the surface skeleton of PVA sponge to construct a new interfacial solar evaporator (PPy/PVA) with different pore structures.

The broader use of botanical pesticides has been limited by shorter residual activity on plants, slower onset of action, and higher costs compared with conventional pesticides. These challenges could be overcome by the development of simple, cost-effective, and long-lasting preventive nanocomposites for botanical pesticides. In this study, we successfully developed a low-cost ethyl cellulose (EC)-based delivery system for the botanical pesticide osthole (OST), designed to provide extended preventive protection against infestations.

However, as electromagnetic radiation power increases, the temperature of the absorbing honeycomb increases rapidly, even leading to burning. Therefore, it is significant to possess an efficient and accurate assessment of the thermal effects of absorbing honeycombs under electromagnetic radiation.

Microplastic contamination of low-density polyethylene mulch and nutrient loss from fertilizers present significant challenges in the crop-growing. In this study, the focus was on creating a biodegradable film that combines the advantages of plastic film, thermal insulation and water retention, as well as the controlled release of fertilizer. A key innovation was the efficient introduction of low molecular weight and low dispersibility of poplar lignin into chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol matrices.

Global high consumption of fried potatoes is driven by appealing taste and edible convenience. However, the occurrence of Maillard reaction hazardous products (MRHPs) and joint control recipes have scarcely been concerned. We aim to reveal and predict how fish oil treatment for potato slices reduces simultaneous formation of typical MRHPs in air-based thermal processed potato chips.
