Spatiotemporal Changes and Trade-Offs/Synergies of Ecosystem Services in the Qin-Mang River Basin by Jiwei Zhao, Luyao Wang, Dong Jia, Yaowen Wang

“…The results show that: (1) driven by urbanization and economic development, the expansion of built-up areas has replaced cultivated land and forests, with 35,000 hectares of farmland lost, thereby increasing pressure on ESs; (2) ESs show an overall downward trend, habitat quality (HQ) has deteriorated, carbon storage (CS) remains stable but the area of low CS has expanded, and sediment delivery ratio (SDR) and water yield (WY) fluctuate due to human activities and climate influence; (3) the TOSs of ESs change dynamically, with strong synergies among HQ, CS, and SDR. …”

Evaluation of Coal Seam Gas Drainability for Outburst-Prone and High-CO2-Containing Coal Seam by Lei Zhang, Ting Ren, Naj Aziz, Cun Zhang

“…This paper presents the results of an evaluation study of gas drainability in the Bulli seam in the Southern Coalfield of the Sydney Basin, NSW, Australia, where the coal seam gas (CSG) contains a high proportion of carbon dioxide (CO2). Historically the gas drainability in some particular areas of this coal seam was found to be particularly poor, which posed a significant challenge to gas predrainage. …”

Cluster sliding ferroelectricity in trilayer Quasi-Hexagonal C60 by Xuefei Wang, Yanhan Ren, Shi Qiu, Fan Zhang, Xueao Li, Junfeng Gao, Weiwei Gao, Jijun Zhao

“…By exploiting this concept, we show that sliding ferroelectricity naturally emerges in trilayer quasi-hexagonal phase (qHP) C60, a cluster-assembled carbon allotrope recently synthesized. Compared to many metallic or semi-metallic elemental ferroelectrics, trilayer qHP C60’s have sizable band gaps and several ferroelectric structures, which are distinguishable by measuring their second-harmonic generation (SHG) responses. …”
