Abstract: This study introduces the utilization of biomass energy in China, analyzes the application background of biomass energy, and elaborates on how the development and utilization of biomass energy fully align with the rural revitalization strategy, serving as an effective path for achieving sustainable rural development. On this basis, it analyzes the relevant policies of China's biomass energy industry and studies the current technologies related to biomass energy power generation. Read More

Abstract: Utilizing land use/land cover (LULC) remote sensing monitoring data from China for the 1980s, 2000, and 2018, this study investigated the patterns and driving forces of cropland change in Yulin City through the application of a land use transfer matrix. The results indicated that the cropland area initially increased and then decreased, a trend closely associated with national ecological policies. Cropland changes in Yulin City were influenced by both natural and socio-economic factors, with ecological policies and urbanization development playing dominant roles. Read More

Abstract: Gully erosion is a critical driver of land degradation and soil loss globally, threatening agricultural productivity, ecological stability, and sustainable land use. Gully land consolidation (GLC) has emerged as a key engineering measure to mitigate erosion, while soil physical improvement—encompassing modifications to soil structure, porosity, permeability, and water-holding capacity—plays a pivotal role in enhancing its slope protection efficacy. This review systematically synthesizes existing literature on the interplay between soil physical properties, GLC practices, and slope stability. It first outlines the conceptual framework of GLC and soil physical improvement, then analyzes methodological approaches (field monitoring, laboratory analyses, and case studies) used in prior research. Key findings highlight that targeted soil physical amendments (e.g., organic matter addition, biochar application, and mechanical structure optimization) significantly improve soil anti-erosion capacity, reduce surface runoff, and reinforce slope integrity when integrated with GLC. The review also identifies research gaps, such as limited long-term studies on climate-adaptive measures and inconsistent efficacy metrics across regions. Finally, it emphasizes the practical implications of these findings for guiding GLC design and policy-making to promote resilient land management in gully-prone areas. Read More

Abstract: This research paper details the development and characteristics of a new camellia cultivar, 'Four Seasons Treasure'. Bred through artificial hybridization using the robust red camellia 'Jinpan Lizhi' as the female parent and the unique Camellia azalea Wei as the male parent, this new variety exhibits desirable and stable traits. 'Four Seasons Treasure' is an evergreen shrub with a semi-open form, obovate leaves, and medium-sized, double-petaled pink flowers. A key characteristic is its extended flowering period, beginning in July and lasting for approximately six months, which helps bridge the summer-autumn blooming gap common in traditional camellias. The paper describes the cultivar's morphological characteristics, outlines optimal cultivation techniques for both potted and ground planting, and discusses its application potential in urban greening and Chinese flower arrangement. The development of 'Four Seasons Treasure' represents a significant step in Sichuan camellia breeding, contributing to efforts aimed at creating more adaptable, long-blooming varieties for wider use in urban landscapes.

Abstract: Against the backdrop of rapid digital technology advancement, integrating ideological and political education into physical education curricula serves not only as a crucial measure to fulfill the fundamental mission of fostering virtue through education but also as a key pathway to promote the integration of physical education and ideological education while driving collaborative innovation in ideological and political education. From the perspective of digital reform, the integration of ideological and political education into university physical education curricula demonstrates both urgency and necessity in terms of educational philosophy innovation, pedagogical transformation, educational resource sharing, and educational content diversification. Employing research methods such as literature review and interviews, this paper systematically explores how digital technologies reshape the pedagogical ecosystem of ideological and political education in university physical education courses through resource integration, model innovation, and evaluation optimization. Findings indicate that the core value of digital empowerment lies in its ability to transcend the temporal and spatial constraints of traditional teaching, while enhancing the persuasive power of value guidance through dynamic updating mechanisms and immersive teaching scenarios. However, current development still faces practical challenges such as lagging infrastructure, disconnect between resources and applications, and insufficient digital literacy among faculty. In response, this paper proposes a practical pathway centered on data mining, interactive scenario creation, multidimensional evaluation, and blended learning communities to advance the high-quality development of ideological and political education in university physical education courses.

Abstract: In arid and semi-arid regions, limited precipitation with uneven spatial and temporal distribution leads to low and unstable crop yields, which severely restricts the development of local agricultural production. How to efficiently utilize resources such as water, fertilizer, light, and heat in these areas to achieve high and stable agricultural yields and sustainable development is a crucial issue currently facing these agricultural regions. As an efficient water-saving cultivation measure, the ridge-furrow rainwater harvesting (RFRH) technique can effectively alleviate the low utilization rate of precipitation resources, significantly improve the water and heat environment required for crop growth and development, and thus has been widely promoted and applied locally. This paper synthesizes the research progress of RFRH models at home and abroad, summarizes the findings from four aspects: soil water-heat environment, crop photosynthetic characteristics, crop nutrient absorption, and crop growth and development, analyzes the impact of modifying the ridge-furrow structure on crop growth and development under the RFRH model, and provides an outlook on the future development of rainwater-harvesting agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions.
