摘要:
Biochar contains biotoxic aromatic compounds, and their influence on nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, the critical nitrogen fixer in paddy soil, has never been tested. Here, the physiological, metabolomic, and transcriptomic analyses of Nostoc sp. PCC7120 in response to biochar leachate were performed. The results suggested that biochar leachate inhibited the efficiency of photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and nitrate assimilation activities of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. Biochar leachate containing aromatic compounds and odd- and long-chain saturated fatty acids impaired the membrane structure and antenna pigments, damaged the D1 protein of the oxygen evolution complex, and eventually decreased the electron transfer chain activity of photosystem II. Moreover, the nitrogen fixation and nitrate assimilation abilities of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria were inhibited by a decrease in photosynthetic productivity. A decrease in iron absorption was another factor limiting nitrogen fixation efficiency. Our study highlights that biochar with relatively high contents of dissolved organic matter poses a risk to primary nitrogen assimilation reduction and ecosystem nitrogen loss. Further evidence of the potential negative effects of biochar leachates on the fixation and assimilation capacity of nitrogen by soil microbes is needed to evaluate the impact of biochar on soil multifunctionality prior to large-scale application.
摘要:
Revegetation is effective in improving soil quality in ecologically fragile areas. However, little is known about the impact of diverse phytomanagement strategies of tailings on soil quality and ecological security in erosion-prone areas. We investigated the water stability, soil aggregate nutrients, and the risk of heavy metal contamination of abandoned tailings under phytomanagement and in adjacent bare land on the Loess Plateau. The results showed that phytomanagement significantly enhanced soil aggregate stability, as demonstrated by higher contents of soil organic carbon (SOC), glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP), aromatic-C, and alkene-C in macro-aggregates. The pollution load index (PLI) and ecological risk index (RI) of soil heavy metals were lower in shrub/herbaceous mixed forests than in natural grasslands and planted forests. The risk of heavy metal contamination was higher in macro-aggregates (>0.25 mm) than in micro-aggregates (<0.25 mm) and was significantly and positively correlated with the SOC and GRSP contents of the aggregates. Our study demonstrates that soil aggregate quality is closely related to the fate of heavy metals. Diversified tailing revegetation measures can improve soil quality and ensure ecological security.

摘要:
Plant photosynthesis plays an essential role in regulating the global carbon cycle. Therefore, it is essential to understand the limitations imposed by climate on plant photosynthesis to comprehend the impacts of climate change on land carbon dynamics. In this study, taking gross primary productivity as a direct representation of photosynthesis, we employed a light use efficiency model (i.e., the revised EC-LUE) and factorial analysis method to quantify the spatiotemporal variation of temperature- and water-limitations on plant photosynthesis over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) grasslands during growing season (May to October) in 1983-2018. Results revealed a clear spatiotemporal pattern of the temperature- and water-limitations: temperature is the primary climatic limiting factor in the eastern TP, while water is the primary climatic limiting factor in the western TP; the water- and temperature-limitations prevail in summer and spring/autumn, respectively. The water- and temperature-limitations intensified and alleviated, respectively, during 1983 through 2018. There also was a widespread shift from temperature-limitation to water-limitation in the TP, particularly in midsummer (August). Our findings demonstrated the shifting relative importance of climatic limitations on plant photosynthesis under changing climate, which is crucial for predicting future terrestrial carbon cycle dynamics.

摘要:
This study introduces the principle of resilience into the study of human settlements. In this study, a comprehensive evaluation model of urban human settlements' resilience based on the provincial region of China was constructed using the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response framework. The spatio-temporal evolution characteristics of urban human settlements' resilience was explored. The influencing factors were analysed by geographical detectors, and the driving mechanism was constructed. Results show that the following. (1) The resilience level of human settlements in China continued to increase, and the resilience level of each province and city changed significantly. The overall clustering effect showed a tendency to fluctuate and weaken. The distribution of cold spot areas became less and less, and the hot spots were moving from northeast China to southeast China. (2) Significant differences existed in the intensity of the impact of different indicators on the resilience system. The value of the impact factor showed an overall upward trend, and the number of key impact factors increased. (3) Improving the ability of scientific and technological innovation, accelerating the transformation and upgrading of the regional economy, increasing the training of talents and making financial inclination in scientific and technological development and industrial pollution control were all important ways for developing and maintaining the resilience of urban human settlements. This study not only introduces a new evaluation of urban human settlements from the perspective of resilience but also explores key impact indices and driving mechanisms, which provides new ideas for studying urban human settlements.

摘要:
The imbalanced regional development of higher vocational education, particularly the disparity between the supply and demand of educational resources, has emerged as the primary factor impeding the provision of high-quality higher education in China during the establishment of a universal education system. Based on the 1,482 higher vocational education institutions recognized by the Ministry of Education of China in 2021 as the research objects, the development of higher vocational education in China was explored from the perspective of supply and demand using the entropy weight TOPSIS method and coupling coordination degree model. It was found that China's higher vocational institutions were mainly located in provincial capitals, representing a point distribution pattern. From a comprehensive evaluation of the supply level, areas such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Yangtze River Delta, and central Henan Province have become the catchment areas for the development of higher vocational education, laying the foundation for regional network cooperation. From the perspective of educational equality, the higher vocational education in China was found to be sufficient to match the supply and demand, and a balance between supply and demand was apparent in provincial capitals. The coupling degree between supply and demand exhibited an "olive-type" spatial structure pattern, indicating that the development of higher vocational education in most cities in China is still in the transformation stage. The results provide a scientific basis for optimizing resources in the provision of higher vocational education.
摘要:
Cadmium (Cd) contamination poses a considerable threat to human health through grain enrichment and limits biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in paddy fields. Biochar has shown great potential for agricultural soil remediation because it inactivates Cd, but uncertainties remain as to how biochar amendments affect BNF and grain N use efficiency in paddies. To elucidate these issues, we investigated the effects of biochar amendment on the structure and function of diazotrophic bacterial communities in different rice growth stages in Cd-contaminated paddy fields, and evaluated the contribution of BNF to grain N use efficiency under biochar amendment. The results showed that biochar amendment significantly increased the abundance of diazotrophic bacteria in the tillering and jointing stages. Furthermore, the community structure of soil diazotrophic bacteria markedly changed with biochar amendment, with a significant reduction in the abundances of Euryarchaeota, Desulfobacterales (Proteobacteria), and Sphingomonadales (Bacteroidetes) in the tillering stage. Changes in the soil carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio was the main factor driving diazotrophic microbial community characteristics caused by the release of available C from biochar at the tillering stage, rather than the Cd. Moreover, biochar amendment increased the efficiency of BNF (especially for autotrophic N2 fixation) in the vegetative phase of rice growth. Notably, biochar amendment significantly decreased BNF efficiency during the filling stage and reduced grain N use efficiency. The limited available nutrients in biochar and the toxicity of polycyclic aromatics and phenols in biochar-derived dissolved organic matter were responsible for the varied impacts of biochar on BNF in different rice growth stages. For the first time, we report that biochar amendment in paddy soils reduces Cd toxicity but also inhibits BNF and thereby decreases N use efficiency. Therefore, before applying biochar to inactivate Cd in paddy fields, there should be a trade-off between agricultural production and ecological safety to achieve sustainable agriculture.
摘要:
This study utilized Trichoderma and activated sludge to construct combined activated sludge (TAS). The metagenomic approach was employed to examine the shifts in microbial community structure and function of TAS under amoxicillin stress and investigate the mechanism underlying the reduction of β-lactam antibiotic resistance genes (β-ARGs). The findings demonstrated that the elevated aundance of glpa, glpd, ugpq, glpq, and glpb were primarily responsible for the reduction in total phosphorus (TP) removal by TAS. The increased abundance of Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobia led to enhanced expression of ugpb, phnd, and phne, thereby improving the TP removal of TAS. Furthermore, antibiotic inactivation has gradually become the primary antibiotic resistance mechanism in TAS. Specifically, an increase in the abundance of OXA-309 in TAS will decrease the probability of amoxicillin accumulation in TAS. A decrease in β-ARGs diversity confirmed this. This study presents a novel approach to reducing antibiotic and ARG accumulation in sludge.

摘要:
Water resource, with properties of scarcity, is one of the vital resource endowments. Like land resources, the prices of these resource endowments should be correlated to their locations to follow fair and reasonable principles. The current water price systems are mainly policy-oriented fixed regimes. And the water use was charged according to the regional-average situation with scarce consideration of the fine-scale geographical water accessibility. With a combination of the water accessibility and the current water pricing regime, this paper first proposed a novel water pricing model, the Water Price at Grid-scale (WPG) model, to dynamically allocate water prices to fine grids for urban residents. The WPG model was examined in the case study of the Han River Basin in the Hubei province of China. The specific results were: (1) the P(grid) of Tier I is between 0.66 and 3.94 yuan/m³, the P(grid) of Tier II is between 0.57 and 5.44 yuan/m³, and the P(grid) of Tier III is between 0.47 and 6.94 yuan/m³ in the study area. (2) the grids with more water acquisition generally have lower water prices than others and vice versa. (3) the average water prices in tiers obtained by the WPG model are generally higher than that derived from the current water pricing system. The results proved that the proposed WPG model spatially allocates the three-tier water prices into grids of urban areas. The WPG framework can be adopted in any society by involving its water price regimes and adjusting the scale of grids and the pricing year. This study provided a new viewpoint of domestic water pricing involving fine-scale water accessibility. The WPG model has great potential to ease water shortage pressure in water-limited societies and can be utilized and loaded into the current smart-city network for efficient and fine-scale water resource management.

摘要:
High-quality regional development should be promoted by facilitating inter-regional mobility of heterogeneous labor force to optimize its spatial allocation. This study incorporates skill relatedness into spatial categorization and selection effects, and explores how skill-relatedness affects the location choice of heterogeneous labor force. To do so, we use labor force migration data and employee data by occupation subcategory from the 2000 National Population Census and 2015 National Population Sample Survey. The empirical evidence provides three major findings. First, there are significant regional differences in labor migration rates by the occupational group between cities in China, and the trend is increasing. Regional concentration of location choice is increasing and six significant agglomerations are formed. Second, skill relatedness positively affects the location choice of the heterogeneous labor force in Chinese cities. When cities' skill-relatedness is more robust, influence on labor location choice is more remarkable. In cities with high-size classes, the effect of high-skill relatedness on labor location choice is higher. Third, labor force with solid skill relatedness with regional employment moves to the location owing to the spatial sorting effect. Labor force without skill relatedness or weak relatedness moves out or does not move to the location owing to the spatial selection effect.
摘要:
Nitrate-nitrogen (NO(3)(-)-N) loss is a significant contributor to water quality degradation in agricultural catchments. The amount of nitrogen (N) fertilizer input in citrus orchard is relatively large and results in significant NO(3)(-)-N loss, compared to cropland. To promote sustainable N fertilizer management, it is crucial to identify the sources of runoff NO(3)(-)-N loss in citrus orchards catchments. Particularly, we poorly know the sources of NO(3)(-)-N and the mitigation mechanisms in these areas, which are highly polluted with NO(3)(-)-N in water bodies. In this study conducted in central China, we conducted a field experiment with four treatments (CK: no N fertilizer; CF: conventional N fertilizer, 371.3kg N ha(-1) yr(-1) urea; OM: CF with organic manure; GM: CF with legume green manure) and a catchment-scale experiment in two citrus orchards (34.3%; 51.6%) catchments. To determine the source of runoff NO(3)(-)-N loss, we used the dual isotope tracer method (δ(15)N and δ(18)O of NO(3)(-)) to identify the sources of NO(3)(-)-N, and a 15-day incubation experiment to determine the potential and rate of soil N mineralization. Our findings revealed that soil organic nitrogen (SON) mineralization was the primary contributor to runoff NO(3)(-)-N loss, and soil N mineralization potential (0.65(⁎⁎⁎)) and rate (0.54(⁎⁎⁎)) were the key factors impacting NO(3)(-)-N loss. Interestingly, organic manure significantly increased 29.0% of NO(3)(-)-N loss derived from SON in the runoff by enhancing soil N mineralization potential (+36.6%) and rate (+77.1%). But green manure mulching significantly reduced the soil N mineralization rate (-18.6%) compared to organic manure application, making it the most effective measure to reduce NO(3)(-)-N loss (-12.4%). Our study highlights the critical role of regulating SON mineralization in controlling NO(3)(-)-N pollution in surface waters in citrus orchard catchments.

摘要:
Cultivated land resources are the material basis of sustainable agricultural development. Climate change, food security, land pollution, and other issues highlight the value of sustainable agricultural development, and the health of the cultivated land system has attracted much attention. By constructing "PSR-VOR" cultivated land system health evaluation framework under the 5 km grid scale and using GIS spatial analysis and mathematical statistics to comprehensively evaluate the health status of the cultivated land system in the two lake plains from 2000 to 2019. The major results have shown that: (1) Over the past 20 years, both the highest and average values of the health index of the cultivated land system have gone down, and the health status of the cultivated land system has changed and gotten worse over time. (2) The health status in the two lake plains has been generally good, mainly in Class I and Class II areas. However, the area of cultivated land with general and poor health status has increased rapidly. On the whole, the health level presents the characteristic of gradually decreasing from the northeast to the southwest and southeast. (3) During the study period, the global Moran's I value of the cultivated land system health index in the two lake plains increased from 0.686 to 0.729, with significant spatial positive autocorrelation, and the spatial heterogeneity of the cultivated land system health index gradually increased. As shown by the spatial distribution characteristics of high in the north, low in the south, and decreasing from the middle to the outside, the distribution of the high-value cluster area and the low-value cluster area of the cultivated land system health index in the two lake plains has not changed significantly over the past 20 years. (4) The two lake plains are divided into five areas: a moderate optimization area, a collaborative optimization area, a potential improvement area, a key improvement area, and a priority improvement area. The urgency of regulating the health status from the moderate optimization area to the priority improvement area has gradually increased, and the differentiated utilization and management of cultivated land resources need to be carried out according to local conditions.

摘要:
Influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease that commonly affects people and has an important impact on public health. Based on influenza incidence data from 103 counties in Hubei Province from 2009 to 2019, this study used time series analysis and geospatial analysis to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of the influenza epidemic and its influencing factors. The results reveal significant spatial-temporal clustering of the influenza epidemic in Hubei Province. Influenza mainly occurs in winter and spring of each year (from December to March of the next year), with the highest incidence rate observed in 2019 and an overall upward trend in recent years. There were significant spatial and urban-rural differences in influenza prevalence in Hubei Province, with the eastern region being more seriously affected than the central and western regions, and the urban regions more seriously affected than the rural region. Hubei's influenza epidemic showed an obvious spatial agglomeration distribution from 2009 to 2019, with the strongest clustering in winter. The hot spot areas of interannual variation in influenza were mainly distributed in eastern and western Hubei, and the cold spot areas were distributed in north-central Hubei. In addition, the cold hot spot areas of influenza epidemics varied from season to season. The seasonal changes in influenza prevalence in Hubei Province are mainly governed by meteorological factors, such as temperature, sunshine, precipitation, humidity, and wind speed. Low temperature, less rain, less sunshine, low wind speed and humid weather will increase the risk of contracting influenza; the interannual changes and spatial differentiation of influenza are mainly influenced by socioeconomic factors, such as road density, number of health technicians per 1,000 population, urbanization rate and population density. The strength of influenza's influencing factors in Hubei Province exhibits significant spatial variation, but in general, the formation of spatial variation of influenza in Hubei Province is still the result of the joint action of socioeconomic factors and natural meteorological factors. Understanding the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of influenza in Hubei Province and its influencing factors can provide a reasonable decision-making basis for influenza prevention and control and public health development in Hubei Province and can also effectively improve the scientific understanding of the public with respect to influenza and other respiratory infectious diseases to reduce the influenza incidence, which also has reference significance for the prevention and control of influenza and other respiratory infectious diseases in other countries or regions.

摘要:
Microplastics (MPs) are creating an emerging threat on the soil ecosystems and are of great global concern. However, the distribution in soil-plant system, as well as the phytotoxicity and impact mechanisms of MPs remain largely unexplored so far. This study introduced the diverse sources of MPs and showed the significant spatial variation in the global geographic distribution of MPs contamination based on data collected from 116 studies (1003 sampling sites). We systematically discussed MPs phytotoxicity, such as plant uptake and migration to stems and leaves, delaying seed germination, impeding plant growth, inhibiting photosynthesis, interfering with nutrient metabolism, causing oxidative damage, and producing genotoxicity. We further highlighted the alterations of soil structure and function by MPs, as well as their self and load toxicity, as potential mechanisms that threaten plants. Finally, this paper provided several preventive strategies to mitigate soil MPs pollution and presented research gaps in the biogeochemical behavior of MPs in soil-plant systems. Meanwhile, we recommended that methods for the quantitative detection of MPs accumulated in plant tissues should be explored and established as soon as possible. This review will improve the understanding of the environmental behavior of MPs in soil-plant systems and provide a theoretical reference to better assess the ecological risk of MPs.

摘要:
Spatial patterns are essential for examining the sustainability derived from land systems. Constructing spatial patterns for sustainable land development is now high on the global agenda to guarantee human welfare. However, there is as yet no consensus on the comprehensive framework for optimizing the spatial pattern of land development (SPLD) contrapose a prominent grain-producing area (PGPA). To narrow this gap, we propose a synthetic framework to shape a more reasonable SPLD for a sustainable development strategy by measuring the equilibrium between the production-living-ecological space (PLES) functions and the resource and environment carrying capacity (RECC). Taking a prominent grain-producing area (PGPA) as the object, a case study involving the Jianghan Plain (JHP) in China is conducted, leading to the following novel insights. (i) The quality of PLES and RECC in a PGPA is affected by multiple dimensions: agriculture, ecology, environment, and society. The indices of the PLES function and the RECC have significant spatial heterogeneity. SPLD in regions with fragile ecological environments and strong development is often under overload pressure. (ii) Based on the spatial zoning results of SPLD, the five partitions were taken as the optimized objects, including zones of the eco-economic, model-agricultural, core-living, eco-conservation, and coordinated-development. The land function definition of these five types of zoning covers the production-living-ecological function orientation in a PGPA. (iii) The SPLD optimization framework proposed above has strong universality because it comprehensively considers the multi-dimensional spatial functional needs of PGPA. In this study, an optimization decision framework of SPLD based on measurement and zoning was established for a PGPA. Significantly, the introduced framework is applicable and practical for optimizing SPLD from a sustainable equilibrium perspective, and the findings have considerable implications for sustainable development in prominent grain-producing areas.

摘要:
The prevalent air pollution along the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) possesses a significant threat to the natural environment, which further affects nearby tourism destination development. The paper seeks to assess the impact of air pollution on tourism in this region through a 2002-2012 panel data of 31 prefecture-level cities, along with geographic information system (GIS) and cluster analyses. The results reveal that air pollution is negatively associated with the number of inbound tourists along the YREB. In general, when air pollution intensifies by 1%, the number of inbound tourists decreases by 1.171%. This impact is more evident when air pollution is more severe, in the long term, and in areas that are larger, more central, and with more tourism resources. The paper contributes to the literature by addressing common limitations in previous studies and providing a more comprehensive evaluation of air pollution's impact on inbound tourism in the YREB. Practical implications regarding public policies and development directions based on air pollution periods, regions, and tourism resource allocations are provided.
