Unraveling the degradation mechanism of multiple pyrethroid insecticides by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its environmental bioremediation potential by Hui Liu, Wen-Juan Chen, Zeling Xu, Shao-Fang Chen, Haoran Song, Yaohua Huang, Kalpana Bhatt, Sandhya Mishra, Mohamed A. Ghorab, Lian-Hui Zhang, Shaohua Chen

“…Extensive use of pyrethroid insecticides poses significant risks to both ecological ecosystems and human beings. Herein, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 exhibited exceptional degradation capabilities towards a range of pyrethroid family insecticides including etofenprox, bifenthrin, tetramethrin, D-cypermethrin, allethrin, and permethrin, with a degradation efficiency reaching over 84 % within 36 h (50 mg·L-1). …”

Onde está a paisagem nas políticas ambientais e territoriais do México? by Martín Manuel Checa-Artasu

“…Despite this, in recent years different books and articles have been published and different academic meetings have been held that have tried to put the landscape as an element of debate from different disciplines such as social and design sciences and humanities.Far from this debate the decision makers of public policies of the previous government articulated some proposals, such as the "Strategy towards 2040" of the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas or the modification of the General Law of ecological balance and protection to the environment would have opened the possibility of nominating biocultural landscapes as a protected natural area. …”

Analysis of Spatiotemporal Variation of NDVI in Pearl River Basin and Its Driving Force Based on Geodetector by WANG Ruiqing, JIANG Xiaohui, NIE Tong

“…On the basis of the yearly normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data from 2000 to 2015,climate,topography,vegetation,soil types,and socio-economic indicators are integrated to analyze the spatiotemporal variation characteristics and driving factors of NDVI in the Pearl River Basin with ArcGIS spatial analysis and geographical detectors (Geodetectors).The results indicate that ① NDVI in the Pearl River Basin shows phased growth in interannual variations from 2000 to 2015,and the overall average annual growth rate is 0.005 3,the medium-high vegetation coverage is greatly transformed into high vegetation coverage,which means the medium-highly and highly vegetated areas have complementary correspondence in spatiotemporal variations,and the average vegetation coverage is greatly improved.② The impact of human activities on the change in vegetation coverage in the Pearl River Basin is greater than that of natural factors.The intensity of human activities in the area reflected by the light intensity at night is the most important factor affecting vegetation changes,and the landform type is the main natural factor affecting vegetation coverage in the basin.On an annual scale,there is little correlation between the change in vegetation coverage and meteorological factors.③ The interaction between natural factors and socio-economic factors is mainly two-factor enhancement,and the two-factor enhancement of the landform type and light intensity at night makes a contribution of 58.9% to the q value;the nonlinear enhancement interaction is mainly between natural factors.By analyzing the range or type of various natural factors suitable for vegetation growth in the study area,this research provides a scientific basis for further promoting the soil and water conservation and ecological protection of the Pearl River Basin.…”
