Characteristics and community stabilities of the resource islands formed by shrubs in the mobile sandy land of the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Sichuan Province.

This study comprehensively analyzes the physical and chemical properties of soil across different layers under shrubs, comparing these properties inside and outside the shrub canopies. It also examines species diversity and community stability in these areas, discussing the impact of soil from resource islands at different formation stages on vegetation restoration. Focusing on shrubs over varying restoration periods (45 years, 25 years, and 13 years), with unrepaired mobile sandy land serving as the control, the results are as follows: (1) As vegetation restoration progresses, the content of soil organic matter (SOM) and alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen (AN) significantly increase.

Based on network pharmacology and molecular docking, the mechanism of action of Chinese herbal compound on mycoplasma synovial sac of chicken was studied.

Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) is a wall-less pathogen primarily transmitted through the respiratory tract, causing synovitis and airsacculitis in poultry, which leads to substantial economic losses in the poultry industry. China has a long-standing tradition of Chinese medicine with abundant medicinal resources, renowned for its safety, efficacy, and holistic regulatory effects. This study aims to screen a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound with anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties and preliminarily validate its in vitro efficacy against MS infections.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Liu, 1945 and its phylogenetic analyses.

We described the complete mitogenome sequence of in this research. The circular mitogenome of R. is total length with 20,520 bp, encoded 39 genes (24 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes) and two D-loop regions.

Determination of priority control factors for risk management of heavy metal(loid)s in park dust in Mianyang City.

In order to determine the priority control elements and sources of heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) pollution in park dust, this study collected dust samples from 25 parks in the urban area of Mianyang City and measured the contents of 10 HMs. Based on Monte Carlo simulation, the probabilistic pollution levels and ecological-health risks of HMs were assessed. We found that the average contents of Zn, Co, Pb, and Cr were much higher than their background values in local soil and were influenced by artificial activities.

Date palm diverts organic solutes for root osmotic adjustment and protects leaves from oxidative damage in early drought acclimation.

Investigation of the pore structure characteristics and fluid components of Quaternary mudstone biogas reservoirs: a case study of the Qaidam Basin in China.

Quaternary mudstone biogas reservoirs in the Qaidam Basin have shown great potential. However, complex pore structures with high clay contents and high heterogeneity limit the understanding of the storage and migration principles of these reservoirs. In this paper, HPMI and nitrogen adsorption experiments, in combination with NMR experiments under water saturation, centrifugation, various drying temperatures and other conditions, were adopted to determine the pore structure characteristics.

Vapor Absorption and Liquefication Triggered Dynamic Color Changes and Pattern Conversions on Photonic Crystal Films for Anticounterfeiting.

The widespread use of counterfeit goods caused significant damage to economy, personal data security, and public health. There is an urgent need to develop innovative anticounterfeiting materials to enhance their performance. Anticounterfeiting labels based on responsive photonic crystals have been widely researched for the inherent difficulty in replicating the delicate structures and structure colors.

How to Cope With Stress in the Desert-The Date Palm Approach.

Increasing desertification constitutes a global environmental problem, mainly driven by climate change and inappropriate land-use that limits agriculture, forestry and human colonization. The selection of suitable plant species to mitigate desertification is particularly challenging, as it usually requires simultaneous counteraction against a whole set of unfavourable environmental conditions, including heat, drought, high tropospheric ozone and salinity. It therefore seems useful to identify the survival strategies of plants native in desert environments.
