Construction of ecological security pattern of the Chinese section of the Silk Road Economic Belt based on the minimum cumulative resistance model

Yi Jia et al.

Summary: The six northwestern provinces in China face the challenges of land use change and insufficient ecosystem services. This study aims to address these issues by constructing an ecological security pattern. The results show an increase in urban and rural construction land and a decrease in grassland and water bodies. The different ecological security patterns have distinct ecological source areas and ecological corridors. The construction of an ecological security pattern based on the ecosystem service value is beneficial for regional ecological protection and security.

Fire History in the Qinling Mountains of East-Central China Since the Last Glacial Maximum

Yao Zhang et al.

Summary: The study of alpine lake sediments from Daye Lake in the Qinling Mountains, China, revealed the influence of climate, vegetation, and human activity on fire activity since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Fire activity during the LGM was mainly controlled by regional aridity and a weak East Asian summer monsoon, while human-induced fires dominated in the late Holocene. Fire activity was found to be linked to biomass through temperature variability, with conifers contributing to high-intensity fires in the last glacial period and herbs contributing to high fire frequency over the mid-late Holocene. With future rising temperatures, increased vegetation cover, and extreme climate events, the fire risk in the region may increase.

Differential effects of urbanization on air pollution: Evidences from six air pollutants in mainland China

Guangzhi Qi et al.

Summary: Rapid urbanization has led to economic growth and inevitable air pollution. The dominant factors of different air pollutants vary significantly, and the mechanism of urbanization on air pollutants is still unclear. Therefore, exploring the differential effects of urbanization on various air pollutants is crucial for improving air quality and collaborative treatment of pollution.

How do mountain ecosystem services respond to changes in vegetation and climate? An evidence from the Qinling Mountains, China

Fei Yu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of climate and vegetation changes on ecosystem services in the Qinling Mountains region. The results provide thresholds for temperature and vegetation cover that affect the provision of ecosystem services, as well as conditions under which high levels of ecosystem service supply are maintained. The study identifies sensitive areas and areas with high ecosystem service supply, and offers practical recommendations based on these findings.

Populist Backlash and Trade Agreements in North America: The Prospects for Progressive Trade

Robert G. Finbow

Summary: The rejection of the international order by populist movements is driven by the failure of globalisation and free trade to take into account fair trade. Conservative populist positions on free trade differ between Canada and the United States, with the latter adopting a more protectionist stance. While there is support for fair trade, an alliance between right-populist movements and fair-trade advocates is unsustainable due to their conflicting approaches to issues such as climate change and immigration.

Environmental evaluation of metals and minerals production based on a life cycle assessment approach: A systematic review

Safa Rachid et al.

Summary: Through the analysis of 78 research papers on the life cycle of metals and minerals, this study reveals issues in the application context, methodology, and environmental impacts of life cycle assessment in the mining industry. The results show that gold has the highest impact on global warming potential, terrestrial acidification, water depletion, and land use, while coal has the highest global carbon footprint. The study highlights the need for more life cycle assessment studies on strategic metals for the clean energy transition.

Maximizing the potential of protected areas for biodiversity conservation, climate refuge and carbon storage in the face of climate change: A case study of Southwest China

Hui Wu et al.

Summary: A forward-looking approach that incorporates biodiversity and nature-based solutions is needed for climate change adaptation. In this research, conservation priorities in 2050 for Southwest China (SWC) were identified based on habitat suitability, climate stability, and carbon storage capacity. Our findings indicate that the mean temperature of the SWC may increase significantly by 2050, with a predicted range of 1.36-2.78 degrees C. Additionally, the carbon storage capacity is forecast to increase in most of the SWC's protected areas, and habitat suitability is expected to increase in a majority of the areas. However, the existing protected areas network does not adequately overlap with conservation hotspots, highlighting the need for a stepwise post-2020 conservation plan.

Do the protection and harnessing of river systems promote the society, economy, and ecological environment of cities? A case study of Xi'an, China

Bing Wang et al.

Summary: River systems protection and harnessing is crucial for various aspects of cities, and understanding the dynamic interactions between different factors is important for sustainable urban development. This study assessed the situation of river systems protection and harnessing, social, economic, and environmental subsystems in Xi'an, China, and used a vector autoregressive model to quantify the dynamic interactions. The results showed that the development levels of the subsystems had an overall upward trend, with significant dynamic effects observed between them. The study emphasized the importance of the river systems protection and harnessing subsystem and its positive influence on urban development, while also recognizing the initial negative impact of the social and economic subsystems on the environment.

Response of vegetation to multi-timescales drought in the Qinling Mountains of China

Guizeng Qi et al.

Summary: Understanding how vegetation responds to drought is crucial for ecosystem and water resource management. This study investigated the spatiotemporal patterns of vegetation responses to drought in the Qinling Mountains. The results showed a significant positive correlation between the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). The most sensitive period for vegetation growth in response to drought was from May to July. Additionally, the response timescale of vegetation to drought was found to differ between the northern and southern slopes. The study also highlighted the importance of considering vegetation type and elevation in drought management.

A flagship species-based approach to efficient, cost-effective biodiversity conservation in the Qinling Mountains, China

Hongfei Zhuang et al.

Summary: Prioritizing the protection of threatened species has been proposed as an efficient response to the global biodiversity crisis. The study suggests that a conservation priority area based on specialist species could lead to effective and cost-efficient biodiversity conservation in the Qinling Mountains, but existing protected areas account for only 26.52% of the conservation priority area.
