The territory of China is vast, so the daylight climates of different regions are not the same. In order to expand theutilization scope and improve the utilization efficiency of solar energy and daylight resources, this article observed and analyzed the ground daylight spectra of China's different light climate partitions. Using a portable spectrum scanner, this article did a tracking observation of ground direct daylight spectra in the period of 380-780 nm visible spectrum of different solar elevation angles during one day in seven representative cities of china's different light climate partitions. The seven representative cities included Kunming, Xining, Beijing, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Nanchang and Chongqing. According to the observation results, this article analyzed the daylight spectrum changing law, compared the daylight spectrum curves of different light climate partitions cities, and summarized the influence factors of daylight spectral radiation intensity. The Analysis of the ground direct daylight spectra showed that the daylight spectral radiation intensity of different solar elevation angles during one day of china's different light climate partitions cities was different, but the distribution and trend of daylight power spectra were basically the same which generally was first increased and then decreased. The maximum peak of spectral power distribution curve appeared at about 475 nm, and there were a steep rise between 380-475 nm and a smooth decline between 475-700 nm while repeatedly big ups and downs appearing after 700 nm. The distribution and trend of daylight power spectra of china's different light climate partitions cities were basically the same, and there was no obvious difference between the daylight spectral power distribution curves and the different light climate partitions. The daylight spectral radiation intensity was closely related to the solar elevation angle and solar surface condition.

Drying trends driven by climate change and the water stress they entail threaten ecosystem functioning and the services they provide to humans. To get a better understanding of an ecosystem response to drying trends, we study a mathematical model of plant communities that compete for water and light. We focus on two major responses to water stress: community shifts to stress-tolerant species and spatial self-organization in periodic vegetation patterns.

Mango (Mangifera indica), a leading tropical fruit crop, is a prime candidate for intensification through modern orchard-management techniques, including canopy manipulation to improve light interception. This study investigated how leaf-level acclimation to light gradients within the canopy of a high-yield, dwarfing mango cultivar (Calypso™) could be used to examine integrated canopy-scale responses. We quantified foliar morphological, biochemical, and physiological traits across a range of canopy positions using this information to model canopy-scale productivity within digital-twin representations of mango under both conventional (i.

Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration necessitates innovative approaches to transform CO into valuable compounds utilizing solar energy. The photocatalytic CO reduction reaction (PC CRR) offers a sustainable solution, yet wide band gaps, rapid electron-hole recombination, and poor CO adsorption capacity limit traditional metal oxide semiconductors for the PC CRR. This review systematically evaluates recent engineering advances in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as efficient photocatalysts for the PC CRR.

To halt and reverse the trends of ecosystem loss and degradation under global change, nations globally are promoting ecosystem restoration. Restoration is particularly crucial to coastal wetlands (including tidal marshes, mangrove forests, and tidal flats), which are among the most important ecosystems on Earth but have been severely depleted and degraded. In this review, we explore the question of how to make restoration more effective for coastal wetlands in light of the often-overlooked dynamic nature of these transitional ecosystems between land and ocean.

The remarkable phenotypic plasticity of land snail shells often results in convergent evolution, leading to frequent taxonomic misidentifications and non-monophyletic classifications. The taxonomy of the Holarctic micro land snails related to Euconulus fulvus has been particularly challenging to resolve. This study integrates mitochondrial and nuclear DNA phylogenetics, geometric morphometrics, and climate suitability modeling to clarify the phylogenetic and taxonomic status of an East Asian lineage within this group.
