The higher grain yields achieved in the TWW-irrigated systems were probably attributed to the continuous supply of plant nutrients, especially N, contained in the TWW at high concentrations during the growing season (Table 3). Being the most yield-limiting nutrient in rice production, N is generally applied through high doses of synthetic fertilisers to ensure high levels […] More

The diverse influences of individual species on air quality are reflected by the immeasurable range of phenotypes. As well as consideration of the planting environment, effective plant selection for air pollution mitigation requires an understanding of the balance between beneficial and detrimental aspects of vegetation at species level and below. In the following sub-sections, we […] More

In Jones et al. (2018) we describe a dataset uploaded to the Dryad Digital Repository (Dataset 112) comprising 63,070 unique raw time-lapse images captured by the Penguin Watch remote camera network, metadata for these photographs (e.g. date/time and temperature information), raw anonymised classifications from the Penguin Watch citizen science project, and ‘consensus clicks’ derived from […] More

Study location and field methods We attached either light-level geolocator or Global Positioning System (GPS) tags to adult Swainson’s Thrushes in breeding condition in coastal California, and in the Tahoe and Lassen regions within California’s northern Sierra Nevada and southern Cascade Mountains (hereafter the Cascade-Sierra), in the summers of 2014–2015 (Fig. 1; Supplementary Table S1). Light-level tags […] More

Ethics statement The sugarcane borer T. intacta larvae and adult moths were reared on artificial diet in the laboratory of Guangzhou Sugarcane Industry Research Institute (23°8′N, 113°17′E, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China). A laboratory population was kept and maintained at 27 ± 1 °C, 70 ± 10% RH, and 14:10 h L:D. The host-plant sugarcanes (ROC22) were cultivated in the experimental field […] More

The methodological framework of our study was shown in Fig. 1. We firstly reviewed air pollution control policies and measures between 2013 and 2017. We assessed the changes in exhaust emissions and ambient air pollutants during the study period. The reduction in mortality and morbidity from improved air pollution were quantified. Finally, associated economic benefit was […] More
