In order to study the ecological and atmospheric recovery of the Hexi Corridor region, this paper analyzes the migration changes of land use characteristics and utilizes multivariate data and BenMAP-CE software to study the pollution characteristics of ozone and its precursors and the impact on human health in the Hexi Corridor region. The results showed that the increase of cultivated land area in the Hexi Corridor mainly originated from grassland. The MDA8-O concentrations met the primary and secondary standards of the Ambient Air Quality Standards on 43% and 99% of the days, respectively. NO showed a negative weekend effect with O, and HCHO was opposite to it. Temperature, barometric pressure, and vegetation were highly correlated with O-NO-HCHO. Ozone pollution in the study area caused about 60% of all-cause premature deaths due to cardiovascular diseases. The study suggests that controlling exogenous transport in Wuwei City during the high ozone period (except August) is mainly dominated by the west and northwest, and that synergistic management of VOCs and NO emissions can reduce O pollution and, consequently, reduce the risk to human health.

The Yugur people represent one of the ethnic groups residing within the Hexi Corridor, distinguishable by their small population size, linguistic diversity, intricate ancestral components, serving as a quintessential exemplar of the populations inhabiting this corridor. There are still many controversial issues in the academic community regarding the origin, migration, and formation process of the Yugur. In this study, we explored the formation process of the Yugur from the perspective of molecular anthropology, based on the paternal genetic characteristics of the Yugur people.

Scientifically recognizing and mastering the spatial-temporal response of habitat quality to land use change and its internal mechanism is the basis of seeking sustainable development in arid areas. Based on the data of land use in 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020, the land use transfer matrix model, dynamic attitude and state degree model, InVEST model, and geographically weighted regression model were adopted. The research results were as follows： ① From 1990 to 2020, the area of unused land in Hexi Corridor changed the most, with a decrease of 3 021 km and the cultivated land, construction land, and water area increased by 2 343.

Snow is a valuable carrier for recording atmospheric information and snowmelt constitutes a crucial hydrological resource for ecosystem sustainability and human activities. The agriculture, industry, livelihoods and ecological security in the Hexi Corridor are dependent on the support of glacier snowmelt in Qilian Mountains of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. We investigated the main water-soluble ions, trace elements and boron isotopes composition of snow at different altitudes in the Qiyi Glacier of the Qilian Mountains from 12 to 23, Aug.

Modification of g-CN with metal-free biomaterials through an environmentally friendly, low-energy, facile, and rapid single-step method is desired for the preparation of photocatalysts with efficient activity and high selectivity of CO reduction but remains a great challenge. Herein, we develop a phase-transitioned protein modification strategy for photocatalysts through superfast amyloid-like protein assembly on surfaces using a one-step sequential coating method. Metal-free carbon nitride/protein heterojunction composite photocatalysts (the phase-transitioned lysozyme (PTL), phase-transitioned bovine serum albumin (PTB), and phase-transitioned ovalbumin (PTO)-coated carbon nitride@SiO (CN@SiO) and bioinspired carbon nitride hollow nanospheres (CN-HS) obtained by etching of CN@SiO) are prepared using lysozyme, bovine serum albumin, and ovalbumin.

The impact of different N forms on key soil enzyme activities involved in N nitrification, particularly in the saline-alkali grasslands of the Hexi Corridor, using natural grassland as a control (CK) and adding three N treatments: inorganic N (IN), organic N (ON) and a mixed N treatment (MN, with a 4:6 ratio of organic to inorganic N). Our study assessed the effects of these N forms on soil properties and enzyme activities crucial for N cycling.
