This paper proposes an integrated approach combining non-grain level (NGL) control (Measure 1) with crop spatial reallocation (Measure 2), thereby establishing a three-tier governance framework for non-grain conversion (NGC) at the “national-agricultural region-county levels”. Based on China’s 2020 grain production capacity, we project pathways to meet grain demand under 2030 population scenarios and evaluate the impacts of three policy scenarios on sustainable agricultural development. Simulation results for 2020–2030 show that, compared to Scenario 1 (no measure 1 &amp; no measure 2 → a 25.56% increase in imports), Scenario 2 (no measure 1 &amp; with measure 2 → partial imports) could fulfill up to 84% of food demand through optimized crop spatial allocation. This import reduction would save approximately 16.43% of global arable land use, 16.59% of global water consumption, 16.36% of global energy use, and 15.80% of global carbon emissions associated with trade. Scenario 3 (with measure 1 &amp; with measure 2 → self-sufficiency) could achieve full grain self-sufficiency by constraining the non-grain level to ≤ 28% through integrated control and spatial optimization, thereby avoiding additional global resource consumption. However, this scenario would increase domestic water and energy stress and constrain farmers’ net income. For China’s nine major agricultural regions and their 2,668 counties, the management focus should shift from merely monitoring the surface-level rate of farmland conversion to non-grain uses, to a more critical assessment of its tangible impacts on grain production and environmental pollution. Accordingly, stringent protection measures are required, particularly for counties within core production areas such as the Northeast China Plain and the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain. The proposed three-tier governance system offers a scalable framework for addressing the intertwined challenges of food security, resource conservation, and global ecological responsibilities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":328,"journal":{"name":"Global Environmental Change","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 103116"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146033377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

This study investigates the temporal dynamics of key ecosystem services, carbon storage, habitat quality, and water yield, across five East African countries over the past two decades, while also exploring their drivers. Spatially explicit models were developed using the integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST), and random forest models (70% training, 30% testing; 500 trees) to identify ecosystem service responses to a variety of drivers, including climate, proximity, soil, Land Use Land Cover Change (LUCC), socioeconomic, and topographic factors. Results revealed distinct patterns in ecosystem service dynamics: (1) Carbon storage remained relatively stable, with 90.9% of the area maintaining consistent levels in 2000–2010, slightly increasing to 91.6% in 2010–2020; (2) Habitat quality showed more variability, but trended positively, with improvements from 2000 to 2010, and over 95% of the area remaining stable in the following decade. (3) In contrast, water yield exhibited the most significant fluctuations, with 52.6% of the area experienced a decline and 43.7% an increase in 2000–2010, followed by a dramatic 89.1% increase in 2010–2020. (4) The random forest models produced robust results (R² = 0.75–––0.96) across all three periods (2000, 2010, and 2020) for each ecosystem service.

We combine European household level survey data from 2004 to 2022 with high resolution temperature and drought data in a fixed effects econometric regression to investigate the change in household income and risk of poverty due to heat waves, droughts, and compound dry-and-hot extremes. We find that the average reduction in annual household income was 0.8 percentage points larger when heat waves coincided with a drought month, compared to when heat waves occurred alone. The compound climate impact was stronger for poorer households, with household in the poorest income quintile experiencing a reduction in average household income from the combined impacts of heatwave and drought of 2.7 percentage points larger than the households in the richest income quintile. We estimate that heat waves and droughts increased the at-risk-of-poverty (AROP) rate in Europe by 1.1 percentage points or an additional 5.6 million persons for 2004–2022 on average. Our projections indicate that limiting global warming to 1.5 °C by 2100 minimizes the negative impacts on income and limits the increase in income inequality and at-risk-of-poverty rates. Limiting warming also allows for more time to adapt to the adverse effects of heat waves and droughts. To reduce poverty by at least 15 million by 2030, the European Union has to scale up its protection of vulnerable populations through climate mitigation and adaptation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":328,"journal":{"name":"Global Environmental Change","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 103106"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146006632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Molecular eco-corona formation on nanoparticle surfaces is a key element governing nano-bio interactions. Here, we investigated how water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) from tropical soils (<em>i.e.</em>, oxisol and Amazonian dark earth) and biochar-amended oxisol affects eco-corona formation on copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONP) and how this impacts their colloidal stability and modulates their toxicity in a zebrafish model. Fluorescence spectroscopy, cryogenic electron transmission microscopy and ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry showed that the molecular structure and functionality of carbon compounds from WEOM are the main drivers of eco-corona rather than carbon content. Small, highly functionalized conjugated aromatic compounds exhibited the highest potential to form a strong eco-corona, which was positively correlated with nanoparticle stability. The interaction between CuONP and WEOM from Amazonian soil effectively inhibited nanoparticle aggregation at higher ionic strengths, thereby avoiding agglomeration and resulting in no significant impact on the embryo hatching rate. A correlative microscopy approach enabled the identification of different deposition patterns of nanoparticle association with the chorion membrane of zebrafish embryos. The mitigation of CuONP toxicity by strong eco-corona highlights the decisive role of the organic matter source and carbon chemistry in modulating nano-bio interactions and eco-corona composition, with implications for biological membrane attachment (<em>i.e.</em>, chorion binding) linked to toxicological effects (<em>i.e.</em>, embryotoxicity). These findings carry significant implications for risk assessment, safety, and the regulation of nanoparticles in tropical environments.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2026-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147496139","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}

We advanced the imaging diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) method to sample not only solutes but also pore water colloids in intact soils. The DGT setup consisted of a zirconium oxide–Chelex binding layer separated from soil by a 9 μm thick membrane with a pore size of 1 μm, providing a short diffusion length to increase colloid sensitivity. The method was tested in a vertical 15 cm section near the plough pan at about 30 cm depth in an arable soil (Luvisol) with silt-loam texture. Intact soil cores were sampled, sliced along the longitudinal axis, and the DGT was deployed on the exposed surface. Two-dimensional mapping of the DGT by LA-Time-of-Flight (TOF)-MS identified striking co-localisation of Al, Si, Rb, and Cs, indicating clay colloids. Pore water extracted from the same soil cores and analysed using Flow Field Flow Fractionation confirmed 2 : 1 clay minerals as the dominant colloids. Laboratory studies confirmed the potential of the DGT binding layer to concentrate clay colloids from suspensions, likely due to cation bridging between the negatively charged clay surfaces and the zirconium oxide in the binding layer. Colloids were present on the soil-deployed gels primarily at locations where pore water Ca<small>²⁺</small> concentrations were lower, likely corresponding to larger pores that were mostly drained at the time of sampling. This study presents the first 2D map of pore water colloids in soil, future work will focus on converting DGT data into resident colloid concentrations.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2026-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147478606","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}
