Article Abstract
The health of urban trees is jointly influenced by species-specific environmental adaptability and habitat heterogeneity, posing severe challenges for management. We investigated landscaping trees in Beijing, established a five-tier health evaluation system (healthy, sub-healthy, unhealthy, severe decline, and moribund) comprising 14 indicators. Then, we analyzed current health status and the influence of six typical habitats: dense forest, sparse forest, tree belt, tree pond, waterside, and buildingside. A total of 3654 trees were surveyed, which belonged to 80 species, 44 genera, 27 families. 71.7% of the trees were rated as sub-healthy or worse. The top 10 species by number of samples (46.3% of total) showed significant health variations. , ×, , , and were classified as sub-healthy, while , , , , and 'Atropurpurea' were classified as unhealthy. exhibited optimal performance in dead branch rate, crown form, and trunk injury severity. × exhibited optimal performance in foliage disease and pest severity, foliage density, trunk inclination degree, and tree vigor, whereas 'Atropurpurea' showed the poorest performance in foliage disease and pest severity, leaf discoloration, and tree vigor. Tree health varied significantly across the six habitats, ranked as sparse forest > dense forest > waterside > buildingside > tree belt > tree pond. Trees in spare forest habitat exhibited favorable overall healthy. Dense forest habitat exhibited notable crown form deficiencies. Waterside habitat suffered higher foliage disease and pest severity. Buildingside habitat exhibited pronounced leaf discoloration. Tree pond habitat exhibited marked tree vigor decline. In conclusion, Beijing landscaping trees faced substantial health risks, and × demonstrated strong urban adaptability, while 'Atropurpurea' exhibited sensitivity; sparse forest habitat provided optimal growing conditions, whereas tree pond habitat imposed the most significant constraints on tree health.

Quaternary Habitat Fluctuations and Demographic Dynamics in Turtles Inferred From Environmental Niche Modelling and Whole Genome Data.

Quaternary climatic fluctuations had a substantial influence on ecosystems, species distribution, phenology and genetic diversity, driving extinction, adaptation and demographic shifts during glacial periods and postglacial expansions. Integration of genomic data and environmental niche modelling can provide valuable insights on how organisms responded to past environmental variations and contribute to assessing vulnerability and resilience to ongoing climatic challenges. Among vertebrates, turtles are particularly vulnerable to habitat changes because of distinctive life history traits and the effect of environmental conditions on physiology and survival.

Accurate and high-frequency monitoring of methane (CH) from rice paddies is crucial for effective carbon emission control but remains challenging due to fluctuant emissions and complex field environments. This study proposed a new in-situ high-frequency CH4 measurement method based on machine learning and sensor-measurable water-soil-air environment factors. The results show that: (1) soil and paddy water serve as critical media influencing CH production and transportation, with paddy water depth (H), soil electrical conductivity (EC), and soil temperature (T) being significantly positively correlated with CH emission flux, while soil redox potential (Eh) had a negative effect (p < 0.

Shrimp aquaculture plays a pivotal role in global seafood production, particularly in Southeast Asia, where it significantly contributes to the economy and food security. The sustainability of this industry, however, is threatened by frequent mass mortality outbreaks with unknown causes. Despite the significant impact, there is a notable lack of information on the occurrence and diversity of harmful dinophytes in this system.

Livestock management practices like the provision of shade, air movement using fans, and wallowing are important methods to alleviate heat stress (HS) and maintain the productivity of buffaloes during extreme summer seasons. This study evaluated the effectiveness of heat mitigation strategies in lactating Murrah buffaloes under extreme summer conditions, with temperature-humidity index (THI) values ranging from 82.29 to 84.
