Phosphorus (P) is an essential plant nutrient that often limits agricultural productivity. Human activities, especially fertiliser use, have significantly altered the P cycle, causing eutrophication of aquatic systems. Restoring wetlands to agricultural landscapes can retain P, improving water quality and other ecosystem services. The effectiveness of P retention in restored wetlands varies with hydrology, soil properties, vegetation, and other factors. Challenges such as wetland P saturation, legacy P release, and plant invasions can limit P retention capacity. Furthermore, climate-related changes in temperature and hydrology have the potential to undermine long-term P retention. New methods such as Integrated Constructed Wetlands and new technologies that provide high-resolution temporal and spatial data enable managers to optimise multifunctionality in agricultural landscapes.

Roses () are among the most cherished ornamental plants globally, yet they are highly susceptible to infections by , the causative agent of gray mold disease. Here we inoculated the resistant rose variety 'Yellow Leisure Liness' with to investigate its resistance mechanisms against gray mold disease. Through transcriptome sequencing, we identified 578 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that were significantly upregulated at 24, 48, and 72 hours post-inoculation, with these genes significantly enriched for three defense response-related GO terms.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the health benefits of green spaces, yet research on how specific elements of natural infrastructure affect well-being during the pandemic has been limited.
Methods: This study, conducted at Sichuan Agricultural University with 300 students in 2022, investigated how urban natural infrastructure impacts physical and psychological well-being during the pandemic. Different aspects of natural infrastructure, such as thermal comfort, air quality (negative ion concentration), and noise and light levels, varied in their positive effects on students' health.

The development of a model is highly crucial in cases where there are intricate geographical features, and conducting a forest inventory is both time-consuming and expensive, requiring significant manual effort for measurement. Acquiring reliable data regarding the forest's condition and future progression is essential for making informed decisions about its management. Therefore, this research aimed to create an individual tree diameter growth model specifically for (B.

It is crucial to prioritize research and development as part of rural revitalization efforts to promote balanced economic growth, preserve cultural heritage, and reduce urban migration. This ensures sustainability and encourages equal access to opportunities, resources, and a healthy environment for people in both rural and urban areas. For the first time, this study explores the interplay between sustainability (Factor A) and health-related environment (Factor B) under the background of rural revitalization in the eight towns (Chengguan, Haocheng, Liacheng, Renqiao, Hugou, Xinmaqiao, Liuji, and Wangzhuang) located in Guzhen County, Bengbu City, China.
