Can red tourism lead to spiritual transformation? Evidence from tourists visiting the Red Army Long March Xiangjiang Battle Memorial Park.

The mechanism of spiritual transformation in red tourism plays a key role in facilitating the inheritance of red culture. A survey of 385 tourists of Chinese nationality was conducted to explore the path of red tourism's influence on tourists' spiritual transformation. Based on the stimulus-organism-response theory, this paper explores tourists' environmental perceptions of red tourism activities as special external stimuli, introduces a positive emotion factor, and constructs a path model of red tourism for tourists' positive emotions based on educational function and cultural identity, which ultimately leads to their spiritual transformation.

Seasonal and Inter-Annual Variations of Carbon Dioxide Fluxes and Their Determinants in an Alpine Meadow.

The alpine meadow is one of the most important ecosystems on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) due to its huge carbon storage and wide distribution. Evaluating the carbon fluxes in alpine meadow ecosystems is crucial to understand the dynamics of carbon storage in high-altitude areas. Here, we investigated the carbon fluxes at seasonal and inter-annual timescales based on 5 years of observations of eddy covariance fluxes in the Zoige alpine meadow on the eastern Tibetan Plateau.
