TL;DR: It is overwhelmingly that the interventions improved the sustainability of China’s rural land systems, but the impacts are nuanced and adverse outcomes have occurred.

TL;DR: This work compiled data from 443 elevational gradients involving diverse organisms worldwide to investigate how elevational diversity patterns may vary between the Northern and Southern hemispheres and across latitudes and shows that most Elevational diversity curves are positively skewed.

TL;DR: The introduction and dispersal routes and growth of S. apetala in China from 1985 to 2006 are mapped and monitored to show whether the species offers some benefits at some locations where it cannot naturally invade or appears harmful to other native mangrove species.

TL;DR: A combined evaluation of these agricultural production systems was done using emergy, energy and economic methods, and both energy and emergy evaluations showed that long-term rice was the best choice for sustainable development, followed by rotation systems.

TL;DR: The results suggest that C storage in mangroves can be increased by selecting high C-density species for afforestation and stand improvement, and even more by increasing the mangrove area.
