Existing evaluations of Agricultural Carbon Emission Efficiency (ACEE) typically rely on aggregate indicators, treating the agricultural sector as a “black box” and lacking the computational resolution to reveal structural ecological trade-offs among internal production factors. To overcome this data limitation, this study constructs a high-resolution computational decomposition framework applied to the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YEB), China (2003−2022). By integrating the Directional Distance Function (DDF) for multi-dimensional factor deconstruction, Standard Deviational Ellipse (SDE) for trajectory tracking, and Partial Least Squares Regression (PLS-R) for complex network modeling, we systematically uncover the spatiotemporal dynamics and systemic drivers of ACEE.

However, current studies have largely focused on bacterial communities, neglecting the profound roles of multitrophic interactions in biogeochemical processes. Here, we employed a multi-omics approach in Changtan Reservoir to investigate multitrophic community dynamics, their effects on nitrogen transformations, and the contributions of core taxa. Our results revealed that multitrophic community composition regulated nitrogen transformation processes primarily via trophic cascades driven by top-down predation, bottom-up resource allocation, and species interaction, with core taxa acting as dominant contributors. Analysis of community drivers indicated that multitrophic α- and β-diversity was mainly affected by biotic factors, except for bacterial and fungal richness. Co-occurrence networks demonstrated that multitrophic taxa were directly linked to nitrogen-metabolizing genes, with competitive interactions outweighing positive ones, particularly in denitrification, N₂ fixation, and nitrification processes. Temporal dynamics showed that competition with algae suppressed nitrification in spring, while competition with Cyanobacteria promoted N₂ fixation in summer. Invertebrate bioturbation was identified as a key factor leading to declined denitrification in autumn. Furthermore, core taxa were essential for maintaining network stability and modulating nitrogen-metabolizing gene abundance by community assembly and multitrophic β-diversity. These findings highlight the significance of incorporating multitrophic interactions and core taxa dynamics into aquatic nitrogen management strategies and policy formulation, proposing the enhancement of multitrophic diversity and cross-trophic synergy as viable approaches to optimize nitrogen cycling in reservoir ecosystems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11459,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Indicators","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 114908"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147798861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Correlation analysis and redundancy analysis (RDA) were employed to identify the land-use and landscape variables most strongly associated with variations in water quality. The results indicate that urban land use is consistently positively correlated with COD<sub>Mn</sub>, BOD₅, TN, and TP and negatively correlated with DO at three or four of the four buffer scales examined, making it the most consistently associated land-use variable across buffer widths. IL showed significant associations with water-quality indicators at the 0–100 m scale but not at broader scales, while AL–TP and AL–TN associations reached statistical significance at the 0–200 m and 0–400 m scales but were non-significant at the 0–100 m and 0–800 m scales. Forest land, green land, and wetland/water areas are associated with higher dissolved oxygen and lower pollutant concentrations, consistent with the known filtering and oxygen-replenishment functions of riparian ecological land.

We employ a multi-level regression model to examine the drivers of cropland use change, accounting for parcel- and regional-level factors and their interactions. The results show that: (1) In Ordos, 54% of cropland parcels remained very stably used between 2010 and 2020, while 25% showed general stability with intermittent fallowing. Recurrently transitioning and abandoned parcels accounted for 14% and 7%, respectively. This distribution significantly differs from the patterns observed in plains and mountainous regions.

(3) Interactions between regional and parcel-level factors significantly shape cropland use trajectories. Notably, rural depopulation exacerbates parcel-level constraints, focusing instability risks on cropland with poor conditions.

Flower abundance and diversity may reflect multiple aspects of habitat quality in grasslands, including resource availability, vegetation structure and microclimate. Therefore, we test if the species richness and total cover of open flowers can indicate local species richness of plants and multiple arthropod groups in grasslands. In April, June and July 2022, flower, plant and arthropod data were collected along a 150 m<sup>2</sup> transect in 41 Dutch grasslands, ranging from low to high land-use intensity levels. Flower richness showed consistent linear relations with plant and arthropod species richness, and resembled both the seasonal increase of arthropod richness and the exponential declines of plant and arthropod richness with increasing land-use intensity. By contrast, flower cover was strongly driven by a few dominant flowering species, decreased over the sampling period and showed more variable relations with plant and arthropod richness. Flower richness qualifies as a broadly representative biodiversity indicator in grasslands that can efficiently be surveyed at site level, and is directly relatable to local land use practices. Flower richness measurements can therefore complement inventories of species composition and steer biodiversity restoration efforts such as result-based agri-environmental schemes on farmland, in which there is increasing emphasis on improving habitat quality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11459,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Indicators","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 114898"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147798953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ecosystem health was assessed using multi-source remote sensing data and census statistics within a Pressure–State–Response (PSR) framework, and township population dynamics were analyzed using spatial statistical and regression approaches. Results indicate that the ecosystem health index (EHI) exhibited a pronounced U-shaped trajectory over the past 24 years, shifting from degradation to gradual restoration.

Township populations displayed a polycentric spatial pattern, with strong concentration in the main urban area and its surrounding townships. Population pressure was predominantly associated with ecosystem health degradation. Notably, although approximately 58% of townships remained below their ecological population carrying capacity, population dynamics in these areas were still linked to measurable declines in ecosystem health. After isolating background environmental influences using long-term sub-capacity townships as reference areas, a significant and stable negative relationship was identified between population change and ecosystem health across two independent periods.

This study constructs the EFDC hydrodynamic model that takes into account the spatiotemporal changes of SAV and analyzes the evolution of hydrological connectivity in the Baiyangdian Wetland, the largest wetland in North China. The results show that under the growth conditions of SAV, the hydrological connectivity of wetlands exhibits seasonal variation characteristics. The connectivity-domain area, accounting for the effects of SAV density and plant height, decreased on average by 3.5%, 39.2%, and 25.1% across the different growth stages, which are more pronounced in areas with dense vegetation distribution. The water-impeding effect of SAV is the main reason for the decrease in hydrological connectivity, especially during the peak growth period when the impact of SAV on flow velocity exceeds the influence of water depth changes by 14 times. The spatiotemporal differences in SAV distribution density and plant height are the main drivers of the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of hydrological connectivity. In addition, SAV may reduce the flood conveyance capacity of wetlands, leading to increased flood risk. We suggest that remote sensing technology should be combined to determine the spatial distribution of wetland plants, and artificial intervention should be made during the peak growth period to control its growth at key nodes to improve the hydrological connectivity of wetlands.
