TL;DR: The value of ecosystem services of the panda and its reserves is estimated to be between US$2.6 and US$6.9 billion/year in 2010, potentially further motivating expansion of the reserves and other investments in natural capital in China.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified differences in ecosystem services provision of two alternative conservation management approaches in a strictly protected nature reserve in China based on (1) existing strict regulations versus (2) extrapolation of those in an adjacent Natural Forest Protection Project (NFPP) allowing the use of natural resources by local communities.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated water sources and water sources used by Phragmites australis in the Yellow River Delta employing stable isotopic composition indicators to uncover temporal variation in plant water-use strategies in the coastal wetland.

TL;DR: In this article , the failure behavior of strip footing on geosynthetic-reinforced granular soil foundations on a mesoscale was studied using two-dimensional model tests combined with PIV technology.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors report on the fabrication and characterization of nanopatterned superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) based on grain boundary Josephson junctions in epitaxially grown multilayer YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO)/SiTrO3 (STO) thin films.
