Research on ecological restoration and green reclamation technology of goaf in phosphorus mines

Published in Frontiers in Environmental Science

The subsidiary of Yunnan Phosphate Group Co., Ltd., Kunyang Phosphate Mine’s mining area is the subject of study. The mining of open-pit phosphate mines has caused significant damage to the ecological environment. Therefore, carrying out ecological restoration and green reclamation of the ecosystem in the mining area has become the top priority for...

Changes in plant-soil synergistic patterns along grassland degradation gradients in northern China

Published in Frontiers in Environmental Science

Inner Mongolia’s grassland is one of the most complete natural grasslands for ecological diversity and biodiversity conservation in the world. However, its degradation has seriously affected the plateau’s sustainable development and grassland restoration and reconstruction. To reveal the response of soil-plant synergistic relationship to different ...

Developing guidelines and a theory of change framework to inform rewilding application

Published in Frontiers in Conservation Science

Introduction There remain a number of debates and conflicts about the concept of rewilding which can be barriers to its application. Some of these conflicts stem from the variety of contextual interpretations of rewilding, leading to conflict between rewilding theories and approaches. Conclusions have also been drawn about rewilding based on limite...

A bibliometric analysis review of the Pennisetum (1970–2023)

Published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems

Pennisetum, a herbaceous plant belonging to the Poaceae family, is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions and encompasses ~140 species. Its versatility is evidenced by its applications in forage, paper weaving, soil erosion control, and energy production. Current research on Pennisetum spans diverse fields including hay production, molecular...

Precise mapping of coastal wetlands using time-series remote sensing images and deep learning model

Published in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change

Mapping coastal wetlands' spatial distribution and spatiotemporal dynamics is crucial for ecological conservation and restoration efforts. However, the high hydrological dynamics and steep environmental gradients pose challenges for precise mapping. This study developed a new method for mapping coastal wetlands using time-series remote sensing imag...

Turning setbacks into stepping-stones for growth in conservation paleobiology

Published in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution

Conservation paleobiology is a cross-disciplinary field that utilizes the geohistorical record of past life on Earth to inform present-day decisions in conservation and restoration and assist in planning for future natural resource management. However, information on how past ecosystems and species responded to environmental change over decadal to ...

Effects of different restoration stages on soil microbial community composition and diversity in Naolihe Wetland, China

Published in Frontiers in Microbiology

Soil microorganisms can be used as one of the important indicators of wetland ecosystem restoration. To study the effects of different restoration stages on soil microbial community composition and diversity in Naolihe Wetland, we employed a “time and space parallel” method. Four restoration stages, namely corn field (Corn), short-term restoration ...

Predicting the geographical distribution and niche characteristics of Cotoneaster multiflorus based on future climate ch...

Published in Frontiers in Plant Science

Introduction Arid and semi-arid regions are climate-sensitive areas, which account for about 40% of the world’s land surface area. Future environment change will impact the environment of these area, resulting in a sharp expansion of arid and semi-arid regions. Cotoneaster multiflorus is a multi-functional tree species with extreme cold, drought an...
