TL;DR: None of these metrics is appropriate for all aspects of a landscape pattern, but some are recommended for future use, which include total number of patches, average patch size, total edge density, double-logged fractal, contagion, and aggregation index.

TL;DR: Coastal wetlands mainly include ecosystems of mangroves, coral reefs, salt marsh, and sea grass beds as discussed by the authors, and they are frequently threatened from both sides from both land and sea.

TL;DR: Global tidal wetland C accumulation is revealed and a net increase in the global C accumulation by 2100 is revealed, driven by sea level rise in tidal marshes, and higher temperature and precipitation in mangroves.

TL;DR: Exogenous MeJA inhibited the uptake of Cd to the aboveground part (leaves) of the seedlings, which helped reduce direct damages of CD to the photosynthetic organ of the plant.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Hani people and their outstanding cultural landscape of rice terraces in Yuanyang County of Yunnan Province as a case study to describe their worldview and discuss their formation of IEK; their roles in the preservation of rice landraces and in pest regulation; their management of water, forest, and soil resources; and the vertical landscape pattern and resource-circulation system that has evolved in the areas managed by Hani.
