Quantifying temporal niche abundance through environmental predictability and seasonality: A novel framework for biodiversity assessment by Lei Huang, Futing Zhao, Shuwen Guo, Li Liu, Rongguang Zhang

“…Focusing on the southern foothills of Qilian Mountains, we employed Colwell’s indices and wavelet analysis to analyze seasonality and predictability patterns of temperature and precipitation. The temporal niche abundance derived from each environmental parameter was then synthesized to reveal spatial patterns of environmental suitability and stress for biodiversity from a niche perspective. …”

Greed, grievance, and the displacement of identity: Courses of community conflict in the Mahaweli resettlement scheme in Sri Lanka by Pulsie Epa

“…The findings indicate that within these main drivers, factors such as cultural issues, social adaptability, land use patterns, traditional ways of life, poverty, modern development practices, macro-level policy design, weak implementation, the intervention of powerful political groups, administrative patterns, resource scarcity, land and forest encroachment, overconsumption of common pool resources, and resource abundance were identified as key leverage points. …”

An Aegean View on Non-Adaptive Radiations by Spyros Sfenthourakis

“…Given that allopatric divergence due to stochastic processes is presumably the cause of non-adaptive radiations, insular systems provide a rich pool of case studies. Using examples of lineage divergence from various taxa living on the Aegean islands, I discuss the processes leading to non-adaptive radiations in view of the alternative classifications of radiation by other authors, and show that such patterns may also result from a mixture of adaptive and non-adaptive processes.…”

Human Action Recognition Method Based on Multi-channel Fusion by Zhiyong TAO, Xijun GUO, Xiaokui REN, Ying LIU, Zemin WANG

“…A temporal convolution network captures temporal dependencies within the extracted action features, distinguishing between actions with similar spatial characteristics but distinct temporal patterns. Compared to the feature map fusion attention mechanism, the feature channel attention mechanism assigns weights to different channels based on their importance for action recognition. …”

Analysis of Carbon Sequestration Capacity and Economic Losses Under Multiple Scenarios in Major Grain-Producing Regions of China: A Case Study of the Urban Agglomeration the Huaihe... by Junhao Cheng, Wenfeng Hu, Mengtian Zheng, Xiaolong Jin, Junqiang Yao, Shuangmei Tong, Fei Guo

“…The results indicate that the following: (1) From 2000 to 2020, CS kept on declining, with cultivated land and forest land being the dominant carbon pools, accounting for over 86% of the total CS. (2) From a “city–grid–raster” perspective, the spatial pattern of high-value hot spots of CS remained stable, and the overall pattern remained unchanged under multi-scenario simulation, yet the overall carbon sink center of gravity shifted to the southwest. (3) The top five driving factors are elevation, slope, NDVI, GDP per capita, and population density, accounting for 77.2% of the total driving force. (4) The carbon sequestration capacity at the county scale continued to weaken, and the overall capacity presented the following order: 2035 Farmland protection scenario (FPS) > 2035 Natural development scenario (NDS) > 2035 Urban development scenario (UDS). …”

Late Quaternary fluctuation in upper range limit of trees shapes endemic flora diversity on the Tibetan Plateau by Jinfeng Xu, Tao Wang, Xiaoyi Wang, Christian Körner, Xianyong Cao, Eryuan Liang, Yongping Yang, Shilong Piao

“…Abstract The influence of paleoclimate in shaping current biodiversity pattern is widely acknowledged. However, it remains unclear how the upper paleo-range limit of trees, which dictated the habitat of endemic alpine species, affects the variability in endemic alpine species composition across space over the Tibetan Plateau. …”

Experimental Study of Water and Sediment Separation under Hydrocyclone and Flocculation by FU Xuhui, SONG Yuanyuan, HU Jiang, TANG Dingdan, WANG Shuo, CAO Changlai

“…In order to study the effect of the combined technology of hydrocyclone and flocculation on the sediment content of water bodies,this paper measures the surface velocity and turbidity by a laboratory self-circulating physical model,ADV and ASM-IV turbidimeter,and analyzes the flow pattern and sediment distribution in the hydrocyclone pool.The results show that:The internal flow field of the hydrocyclone pool is a typical three-dimensional axisymmetric flow field;the turbidity in the hydrocyclone pool gradually decreases from the side wall to the center in the radial direction,and the turbidity gradually increases in the axial direction.Under the same sediment conditions,when the flocculant concentration was 5 mg/L,the effect of final sediment contents in purified water (water purified by the outer ring twice) is the best;the smaller the inlet flow of the hydrocyclone pool,the smaller the final sediment content in purified water.Compared with flocculant,inlet flow has a greater impact on the final sediment content in purified water,so it is a key factor in reducing the sediment content. …”
