Balancing Hydrological Sustainability and Heritage Conservation: A Decadal Analysis of Water-Yield Dynamics in the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces by Linlin Huang, Yunting Lyu, Linxuan Miao, Sen Li

“…A 31% decline by 2020, driven by cropland fragmentation and tourism growth, revealed persistent-yield hotspots in forested central-eastern terraces and cold spots in southwestern dryland margins. Land-use pattern accounted for 80–95% of yield variability, exacerbated by temperature interactions. …”

Ultracompact computational spectroscopy with a detour-phased planar lens by Wenkai Yang, Zijian Wang, Jian Xu, Dashan Dong, Guiyuan Cao, Han Lin, Baohua Jia, Lige Liu, Kebin Shi

“…This work proposes a computational micro-spectrometer based on an ultra-thin (~250 nm) detour-phased graphene oxide planar lens with a sub-millimeter footprint, utilizing a spectral-to-spatial mapping method. The varying intensity pattern along the focal axis of the lens acts as a measurement signal, simplifying the system and enabling real-time spectrum acquisition. …”
