2,3,4. While the main cause of these declines is broadly attributed to land-use change and land-use intensification5,6,7, previous studies have mostly focused on the response of aboveground biodiversity to a few components of land use, such as the use of pesticides8, fertilization intensity9...
At a local scale, the persistence of open habitats did better than forest resulting from land abandonment in maintaining reptiles within a heavily anthropogenic matrix. Contrary to our expectations, the absence of any clear trait or phylogenetic signals suggests that these responses are mediated by a...
The present invention relates to a new-type arid land crop seedling-cultivating method namely dry and wet two-stage tray seedling-cultivating method. It is characterized by that said method adopts porous tray, matrix and nutrient liquor. According to the biological characteristics of crop seed germi...

The judgment matrix was constructed to grade the CLQ by considering productive, ecological, and recreational connotations. In this study, we considered that the CLQ should emphasize cultivated land’s productive and ecological functions, which were deemed the basis of cultivated land. Therefore, when ...
All my life I’ve always heard adults use the expression,‘They’ll only learn from experience…’ so I guess I’m that adult now. Yesterday after visiting an old, dear friend of mine, my oh so lovely and determined husband (wink)‘missed’the highway turn off in Brisbane (I say mis...

The water from precipitation has several possible fates. It might flow into the soil matrix where it will be stored before being lost through evapotranspiration or drainage. If the water remains on, or near, the soil surface it may evaporate, or if the ground is sloped or already saturated,...
dominant growth forms of plants and summer temperatures66. Hence, these bioclimatic subzones are generally well aligned with summer warmth index (SWI) classes42. A confusion matrix showing the classification of study sites into Vegetation type and CAVM subzone categories is shown in Supplementary Table...
