Watershed ecological security (ES), which is fundamental to regional sustainable development, consists of risk (ER), ecosystem health (EH), and services (ESs). It remains unclear how describe the status ES by integrating three key characteristics, little known about differences among factors driving ER, EH, ESs, ES. Here, we established an integrated assessment system based on cause–effect relationship ESs. We quantified characteristics in Huaihe River Basin China 2020 pinpointed (i.e.,...

Ecological quality (EQ) is the foundation of all ecosystem services (ESs) and critical for improvement human welfare. To clarify link between ecosystems well-being, present study investigated relationship EQ ESs in Pingjiang watershed a red soil hilly region (southern China) 2016. The remote sensing ecological index (RSEI) service (ESI), respectively, were used to characterize four major ESs, i.e., water yield (WY), conservation (SC), carbon storage (CS), food supply (FS). was explored at...

L-Ascorbate (Asc) plays important roles in plant development, hormone signaling, the cell cycle and cellular redox system, etc. The higher content of Asc chloroplasts indicates its role photosystem. objective this study was to tall fescue leaves against heat stress. After a stress treatment, we observed lower value maximum quantum yield for primary photochemistry (φPo), which reflects inhibited activity photochemical phase photosystem II (PSII). Moreover, efficiency electron transfer from QB...

Since the implementation of pollution prevention and control action in China 2013, particulate has been greatly reduced, while ozone become gradually severe, especially economically developed eastern region. Recently, a new situation air emerged, namely, enhanced atmospheric oxidation, ascending regional pollution, increasing particle synergic (i.e., double-high pollution). Based on long-term observation data from 2015 to 2021, we examined spatio-temporal characteristics urban PM 2.5 O 3...

Abstract Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays an essential role in non-shivering thermogenesis. The phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, cytoplasmic 1 (PITPNC1) is identified as a lipid transporter that reciprocally transfers phospholipids between intracellular membrane structures. However, the physiological significance of PITPNC1 and its regulatory mechanism remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate key player thermogenesis BAT. While Pitpnc1 −/− mice do not differ with wildtype body weight...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is strongly correlated with obesity, partially due to the abnormal expansion of abdominal perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT). Cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor-like effector C (CIDEC), also known as fat-specific protein 27 (FSP27) in rodents, specifically expressed where it mediates lipid droplet fusion and expansion. Whether how CIDEC/FSP27 plays a role AAA pathology remains elusive. Here, we show that FSP27 exacerbates obesity angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang...

Landscape and quality attributes are major ecosystem characteristics closely associated with soil conservation service (SCS). However, the intrinsic mechanisms by which these two influence SCS still unclear. Therefore, this study quantitatively analyzed landscape pattern, ecological quality, in Lianshui River watershed (a typical water loss area of red southern China) its sub-watersheds 2019. The boosted regression tree model was used to explore 15 factors (i.e., attributes) on at...

Coastal blue carbon storage (CBCS) plays a key role in addressing global climate change and realizing regional neutrality. Although has been studied for some years, there is little understanding of the influence megacity’s complex natural human-driven processes on CBCS. Taking Shanghai coastal area as an example, this study investigated spatiotemporal CBCS using InVEST (Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Tradeoffs) model during 1990–2015, analyzed response to natural- through land...
