Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) stands as a pivotal fruit tree with significant economic, ecological, and social value. Recent years have witnessed remarkable strides in multi-omics-based biological research on jujube. This review began by summarizing...

Forest carbon sinks are vital in mitigating climate change, making it crucial to have highly accurate estimates of forest carbon stocks. A method that accounts for the spatial characteristics of inventory samples is necessary for the long-term estima...

Amidst the challenges of global environmental change and urbanization, the salutary effects of natural environments on public health are increasingly being recognized. This study investigates the specific effects of varied forest environments in Chin...

Bacterial communities inhabiting the soil of mountain ecosystems perform critical ecological functions. Although several studies have reported the altitudinal distribution patterns of bacterial communities in warm-temperate mountain forests, our unde...

Efficiently mitigating the severe air pollution resulting from rapid progress is crucial for the sustainable development of the socio-ecological system. Recently, concerns about nature-based solutions have emerged in the research on the treatment of...

Rapid and accurate classification of urban tree species is crucial for the protection and management of urban ecology. However, tree species classification remains a great challenge because of the high spatial heterogeneity and biodiversity. Addressi...

Soil fauna play a vital role in contributing to the home-field advantage (HFA: litter decomposes faster in its natural habitat than elsewhere) during litter decomposition. Whether the presence of soil fauna affects the HFA of the decomposition of tot...

Dendrolimus superans, a prominent forest pest in northeast China, exerts detrimental effects on tree growth and development, disrupts the ecological functioning of forests, and even alters the trajectory of succession. The objective of this study was...

In order to address the challenges posed by elevated manual labor costs and limited automation in traditional log diameter grading and sorting processes, this paper centers on the design and research of an intelligent log diameter grading and sorting...

Amidst the increasing frequency and severity of forest fires globally, the imperative of effective post-fire forest restoration has gained unprecedented significance. This study outlines a comprehensive approach to post-fire forest restoration and di...
