The Historical and Theoretical Rationale for Ecological Protection and Restoration: Experiences from China by Xiaotong Han, Zhengfu Bian, Haochen Yu, Shaogang Lei, Yibo Zhao, Yingjie Guo

“…Utilizing a literature review method, logical reasoning method, and inductive summarizing method, the historical and theoretical frameworks of territorial spatial ecological conservation and restoration are elucidated, leading to the following conclusions: (1) The ecological protection and restoration of national land space represents an advanced form of land remediation; however, they differ in terms of objects, principles, goals, and measures. (2) Territorial space ecological protection and restoration is historically unavoidable due to the current phase of societal development, driven by the natural environment and the necessity to establish an ecological civilization. (3) To implement territorial spatial ecological protection and restoration effectively and rationally, it is essential to comprehend its systematicity, territoriality, dynamics, and scientificity. …”

Nanoparticle-bands enabled strength-ductility synergy in wrought Al-Cu alloys by Yunfeng Hu, Mojia Li, Jiaheng Li, Yingbo Zhang, Dongdi Yin, Ying Zeng, Hui Chen

“…The combined effects of dual nanoparticle (i.e. broken nanoparticles and precipitated nanoparticles) strengthening and grain boundary strengthening are identified as the direct reasons for the enhanced strength. The uniformly alternated coarse and fine grain regions in the bimodal grain structure can coordinate deformation, and the dispersed spherical phase can weaken stress concentration, which are important factors for high plasticity. …”
