Abstract Breeding high‐yielding rice cultivars through increasing biomass is a key strategy to meet rising global food demands. Yet, growth can stimulate methane ( CH 4 ) emissions, exacerbating climate change, as cultivation major source of this powerful greenhouse gas. Here, we show in series experiments that actually reduce emissions from typical paddy soils. Averaged across 33 cultivars, increase 10% resulted 10.3% decrease soil with high carbon (C) content. Compared low‐yielding...

The effects of long-term excessive phosphorus (P) fertilization on the P fraction changes and loss risk in orchard soils remain unclear. This study aimed to assess concentrations relationships among soil total (TP), Olsen-P fractions pomelo (PO) during different periods. PO were a severe overapplication state (905.4 kg P2O5 ha-1 yr-1), with high surplus (773.5 yr-1) low use efficiency (PUE, 14.7%). Such fertilizer input significantly increased TP, Olsen-P, reduced proportions Org-P...

Abstract Given their critical influence on society and politics, university students are one of the key target groups for authoritarian political control around world. To further our understanding endurance resilience authoritarianism in post-Deng China, it is necessary to examine Party-state's most crucial frameworks: institutional mechanism through which preserves social stability nation's 2,358 campuses, maintains over its more than 22 million college students. Drawing upon intensive...

Today, with social protests a daily phenomenon in China, the Party-state’s survival hinges upon its institutional capacity to prevent, monitor, process information on, and overcome real potential challenges. Over past decade, Communist Party has consistently stressed critical importance of ‘stability preservation’ (weiwen) as central ensuring longevity authoritarian regime. Drawing intensive interviews archival research, this article looks into stability-preservation system W County North...

Excess phosphorus (P) accumulation in the soil can change bioavailability of P and increase leaching risks, but quantitative evaluation these responses acidic red is lacking. This study aimed to investigate composition fractions under different apparent balances (PAB) change-points fractions. Five fertilization rates were applied (0, 16.38, 32.75, 65.50, 131.00 kg P·ha-1) every sweet corn cultivation from field experiment, treatments marked as P0, P1, P2, P3, P4, respectively. The PAB showed...

Extensive fertilization is a major factor of soil acidification worldwide and especially in China, where farmland pH has been declined significantly resulted deterioration. However, the status fruit orchard systems currently unclear. Therefore, we choose pomelo as case study to analyze current status, characteristics improvement orchards according element charge balances. The survey results showed that continued decrease from 2010 2018 caused yields when was lower than 4.5. In this period,...

Citizen participation in policy making is essential democracies, but there much less understanding of the process and substance it non-democratic states. Taking local budgetary as an example, this article compares three pathways participatory reform undertaken by communist regime China, namely representative pathway, consultative pathway transparency pathway. All are initiated administered governments, differ a number crucial aspects from level institutionalisation to form state–citizenry...

Orchards in acid soils are at risk of magnesium (Mg) deficiency which negatively affects the plant growth, yield, and quality. However, impacts Mg supplementation on fruit quality, environmental economic benefits have only been rarely addressed. We conducted 15 pomelo ( Citrus grandis L.) orchard trials South China to assess more efficient integrated nutrient management (INM) practices, including local farmer fertilization practices (FP; average application rate nitrogen, phosphorus,...

ABSTRACT Sweet corn ( Zea mays L. saccharata ) is gaining global popularity as a staple crop and vegetable due to its high nutritional value. However, information on grain magnesium (Mg) calcium (Ca) status their response phosphorus (P) fertilization in sweet still insufficient. In the current study, we combined genotype evaluation P gradient experiments investigate how supply influences spatio‐temporal variation of mineral nutrition (Mg Ca) bioavailabilities corn. Increasing decreased Ca by...

Previous research presents conflicting views on whether cultural similarities between state officials and the societies they govern promote or hinder economic growth. We posit that embeddedness can facilitate local growth by reducing transaction costs for alleviating credible commitment problem, thereby efficiently diminishing uncertainty production investment. Using linguistic similarity as a proxy embeddedness, we find Chinese municipalities governed political leaders whose background is...

Phosphorus (P) is a non-renewable source, requires in large amount for maintaining better crop growth and development. The excessive P fertilizer contributes to the accumulation of soil results increased total Olsen P. However, spatio-temporal variation remains unclear pomelo orchard systems. Therefore, this study aimed assess temporal spatial orchards future predict pool from 1985 2100, based on dynamic simulator (DPPS) model. We found that an average 282.23 kg ha −1 yr accumulated soil,...
