As an IUCN Red List endangered species, Phoebe zhennan epitomizes the convergence of ecological vulnerability and cultural significance. Renowned for its “Golden-thread nanmu” timber, P. zhennan dominates China’s precious wood industry but faces critical threats from habitat fragmentation and climate-driven drought. While previous studies have primarily examined local-scale habitat characteristics, few studies have integrated paleo-historical dynamics with future projections by synthesizing changes in habitat area, geographic centroid, and niche evolution. This study used optimized MaxEnt and Biomod2 to simulate the potential distribution of P. zhennan across past, current and future climate scenarios. ENMeval-guided parameter tuning, combined with MESS/MoD analysis based on the 153 validated occurrence records of P. zhennan and the 13 selected bioclimatic and topographic variables, improved the detection of environmental shifts beyond the current reference conditions, while niche differentiation assessments provided deeper insights into local adaptation mechanisms. Results show suitable habitats concentrated in subtropical regions, with stability during the Last Glacial Maximum and Mid-Holocene. Under the SSP5-8.5 scenario, warming and precipitation shifts are projected to drive northward habitat expansion, though increased precipitation variability may impose physiological constraints. Eastern and western populations exhibit distinct temperature-precipitation adaptations, highlighting the species’s vulnerability to climate variability. This study integrates multi-model optimization and niche quantification to provide data-driven frameworks for sustainable management, emphasizing assisted migration, germplasm conservation, and climate-adaptive forestry.

作为世界自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录，菲比珍南体现了生态脆弱性和文化意义的融合。以“金线楠木”著称的真南在中国的珍贵木材产业中占据主导地位，但面临栖息地破碎化和气候干旱的严重威胁。虽然以往的研究主要是考察局地尺度的生境特征，但很少有研究通过综合生境面积、地理质心和生态位演变的变化，将古历史动态与未来预测结合起来。本研究利用优化后的MaxEnt和Biomod2模拟了过去、现在和未来气候情景下真南的潜在分布。基于enmeval指导下的参数调优，结合基于153个已验证的真南发生记录和13个选定的生物气候和地形变量的MESS/MoD分析，改进了对当前参考条件之外环境变化的检测，而生态位分化评估则有助于深入了解局部适应机制。结果表明：适宜生境集中在亚热带地区，末次盛冰期和中全新世期间生境较为稳定；在SSP5-8.5情景下，升温和降水变化预计将推动栖息地向北扩展，尽管降水变率的增加可能会施加生理限制。东部和西部种群表现出不同的温度-降水适应，突出了物种对气候变化的脆弱性。该研究将多模型优化和生态位量化相结合，为可持续管理提供数据驱动框架，重点关注辅助迁移、种质资源保护和气候适应性林业。

The construction of solar-tracking photovoltaic (PV) system in arid sandy lands shows potential for restoring plant community diversity and productivity, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we examined the contribution of PV system on plant community structure and diversity by improving microhabitats with the continuous soil moisture and temperature monitoring data in arid sandy land. Results showed that the area inside the PV system (IPV) increased rainfall allocation by rainfall accumulation of PV panels and decreased photosynthetically active radiation by 70.40 % compared with the outside PV system area (OPV). Meanwhile, the IPV significantly decreased daytime soil temperature in spring, summer, and winter seasons, whereas increased soil moisture both daytime and nighttime in spring, autumn, and winter seasons. Furthermore, the IPV significantly advanced plant coverage (+43.71 %), plant density (+51.34 %), aboveground biomass (+93.80 %), and total biomass (+47.59 %). Plant diversity in IPV was also significantly enhanced than in OPV, as reflected in the increases in the Shannon-Wiener index (+40.75 %), Simpson diversity index (+27.96 %), and species richness (+61.62 %). Additionally, the PV facilitated a shift in species composition from species of Compositae family in the OPV to species of Amaranthaceae, Graminae and Chenopodiaceae families in the IPV, also increased the proportion of edible forage species and inhibited forbs species. Overall, the PV system promotes vegetation restoration and alters plant community structure and diversity by improving arid sandy soil microhabitat conditions, offering insights into the ecological impacts of PV infrastructure in arid ecosystems.

在干旱沙地建设太阳能跟踪光伏（PV）系统显示出恢复植物群落多样性和生产力的潜力，但其机制尚不清楚。本文利用干旱沙地连续土壤温湿度监测数据，通过改善微生境，探讨光伏系统对植物群落结构和多样性的贡献。结果表明：与系统外区相比，系统内区通过光伏板的降雨积累增加了降雨分配，光合有效辐射减少了70.40%；同时，IPV显著降低了春、夏、冬季白天土壤温度，增加了春、秋、冬季白天和夜间土壤湿度。此外，IPV显著提高了植物盖度（+ 43.71%）、密度（+ 51.34%）、地上生物量（+ 93.80%）和总生物量（+ 47.59%）。IPV区植物多样性显著高于OPV区，分别为Shannon-Wiener指数（+ 40.75%）、Simpson多样性指数（+ 27.96%）和物种丰富度（+ 61.62%）。此外，植物多样性还促进了植物群落中菊科物种向紫花科、禾本科和藜科物种的转变，增加了可食用饲料物种的比例，抑制了牧草物种的生长。总体而言，光伏系统通过改善干旱沙质土壤微生境条件，促进植被恢复，改变植物群落结构和多样性，为研究光伏基础设施对干旱生态系统的生态影响提供了新的思路。

Growing evidence of the microbiome’s importance for plant ecology highlights the need for conservation strategies that consider both plants and their microbial partners, the holobiont. Population genomics are valuable tools for designing conservation strategies but rarely accounts for host- or site-specific microbial interactions. Orchids, with their dependence on specific mycorrhizal fungi, exemplify the need to include the microbiome in conservation planning. We here combine population genomics with exploration of root mycobiomes for three closely related orchid taxa (Platanthera chlorantha, P. bifolia var. bifolia and P. bifolia var. latissima) across 22 populations in Denmark to identify ecologically and evolutionary significant units. Our data revealed that Platanthera chlorantha and P. bifolia s.l. hosted different mycobiomes, suggesting a strong host effect on the fungal symbionts. Population genomic analyses identified three different clusters, one matching P. bifolia var. bifolia and two clusters dividing P. chlorantha into two geographically separate units. The genomic profile of P. bifolia var. latissima was similar to that of P. bifolia var. bifolia but indicated some introgression from P. chlorantha. By combining the mycobiome and population genomic data we reveal that the three detected clusters were associated with different mycobiomes, resulting in a significant correlation between host genomics and mycobiome. Root mycobiomes were correlated with variation in soil nutrients, suggesting a role of the orchids’ fungal partners in adaptation to local edaphic conditions. We propose to identify evolutionary significant units in Platanthera in Denmark based on the novel combination of host genomic and mycobiome profiles, in a conservation hologenomics approach.

越来越多的证据表明微生物组对植物生态的重要性，这凸显了保护策略的必要性，既要考虑植物，也要考虑它们的微生物伙伴——全息生物。种群基因组学是设计保护策略的宝贵工具，但很少考虑宿主或特定地点的微生物相互作用。兰花依赖于特定的菌根真菌，因此需要将微生物组纳入保护规划。在此，我们将群体基因组学与对丹麦22个种群中三个密切相关的兰花分类群（Platanthera chlorantha， P. bifolia var. bifolia和P. bifolia var. latissima）的根真菌群落的探索相结合，以确定生态和进化上的重要单位。我们的数据显示，Platanthera chlorantha和P. bifolia s.l.有不同的真菌群落，表明宿主对真菌共生体有很强的影响。种群基因组分析确定了三个不同的集群，一个匹配双歧双歧豆，两个集群将绿antha划分为两个地理上独立的单位。双歧豆的基因组图谱与双歧豆相似，但有来自绿花豆的基因渗入。通过结合真菌组和群体基因组数据，我们发现三个检测到的集群与不同的真菌组相关，从而导致宿主基因组学和真菌组之间存在显着相关性。根真菌群落与土壤养分变化相关，表明兰科植物的真菌伴侣在适应当地土壤条件方面发挥了作用。我们建议在保护全基因组学方法中，基于宿主基因组和真菌组谱的新组合，确定丹麦Platanthera的进化重要单位。

Reducing livelihood vulnerability enables rural households to mitigate external risks, enhance their adaptive capacity, and promote sustainable livelihood development. Watershed eco-compensation is an important public governmental policy for protecting water resources. By doing so, it fosters sustainable economic and social development in river basins. However, the effects of watershed eco-compensation policies on the livelihood vulnerability of rural households have not been determined. In response to this shortcoming, we conducted a survey of 203 rural households residing within the Xin’an River Basin to investigate the effects of watershed eco-compensation policies on the livelihood vulnerability of rural households. The results indicated that the watershed eco-compensation policies significantly lowered the livelihood vulnerability of rural households. Moreover, rural households with higher vulnerability were more affected by the watershed eco-compensation policies than those with lower vulnerability. An analysis of how watershed eco-compensation policies influence the livelihood vulnerability of rural households revealed that income diversification and the transformation of individual development concepts played significant roles as mediating factors. These findings indicate that policies must continue to incorporate eco-compensation schemes to preserve aquatic ecosystems, and parallel efforts should be made to boost rural adaptive capacity through enhanced risk awareness and skill development.

降低生计脆弱性使农户能够减轻外部风险，增强适应能力，促进可持续生计发展。流域生态补偿是政府保护水资源的一项重要公共政策。通过这样做，它促进了流域的可持续经济和社会发展。然而，流域生态补偿政策对农户生计脆弱性的影响尚未确定。针对这一不足，本文以新安河流域203户农户为研究对象，探讨了流域生态补偿政策对农户生计脆弱性的影响。结果表明，流域生态补偿政策显著降低了农户生计脆弱性。此外，脆弱性较高的农户受流域生态补偿政策的影响大于脆弱性较低的农户。流域生态补偿政策对农户生计脆弱性的影响分析表明，收入多样化和个体发展观念的转变是影响农户生计脆弱性的重要中介因素。这些发现表明，政策必须继续纳入生态补偿计划，以保护水生生态系统，同时应通过提高风险意识和技能发展来提高农村的适应能力。

Large felids, including Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris), Indochinese leopards (Panthera pardus delacouri), and Mainland clouded leopards (Neofelis nebulosa) in Southeast Asia, face imminent threats due to overexploitation, habitat destruction, and the adverse impacts of climate change. The Chindwin River Basin (CRB) in Myanmar has witnessed a decline in the populations of these big cats, attributed to deforestation, habitat loss, and illegal wildlife trade. This study addresses a crucial knowledge gap by assessing the combined impact of climate and land use on the distribution of large felids in the CRB. We gathered presence-only GPS points of three felid species through extensive camera trap surveys conducted between 2013 and 2018, primarily in critical areas of Hukaung Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, Htamanthi Wildlife Sanctuary, Alaungdaw Kathapa National Park, and Hphonkanrazi Wildlife Sanctuary. Incorporating environmental variables such as altitude, slope, aspect, land cover types, and bioclimatic data, we employed ten algorithms and an ensemble modeling approach to develop Species Distribution Models (SDMs) for the three felid species. Our study observes that suitable habitats for large felids in the CRB are not uniformly distributed. Although protected areas cover a significant portion of suitable habitat (57%), crucial areas outside reserves are indispensable for the survival of these species. Environmental variables, including elevation, slope, land cover types, and human-related activities, influence the distribution patterns. The intricate relationship of felids with river ecosystems emphasizes the necessity for targeted conservation measures along riparian zones. Climate variables, encompassing temperature and precipitation fluctuations, also significantly influence felid distribution. These findings underscore the importance of expanding conservation focus beyond existing protected areas to include key unprotected habitats and future connectivity corridors planning.

东南亚的孟加拉虎（Panthera tigris tigris）、印度支那豹（Panthera pardus delacouri）和大陆云豹（Neofelis nebulosa）等大型猫科动物由于过度开发、栖息地破坏和气候变化的不利影响而面临迫在眉睫的威胁。由于森林砍伐、栖息地丧失和非法野生动物贸易，缅甸钦德温河流域（CRB）的这些大型猫科动物数量正在下降。本研究通过评估气候和土地利用对CRB大型农田分布的综合影响，解决了一个关键的知识缺口。在2013年至2018年期间，我们通过广泛的相机陷阱调查，主要在Hukaung Valley野生动物保护区、Htamanthi野生动物保护区、Alaungdaw Kathapa国家公园和Hphonkanrazi野生动物保护区的关键区域收集了三种猫科动物的仅存在的GPS点。结合海拔、坡度、坡向、土地覆盖类型和生物气候等环境变量，采用10种算法和集成建模方法建立了3种野外物种的物种分布模型（SDMs）。我们的研究发现，CRB中大型田块的适宜生境分布并不均匀。虽然保护区覆盖了相当大一部分（57%）的适宜栖息地，但保护区之外的关键区域对这些物种的生存是不可或缺的。环境变量，包括海拔、坡度、土地覆盖类型和与人类有关的活动，都会影响分布格局。田野与河流生态系统的复杂关系强调了沿河岸带采取有针对性保护措施的必要性。包括温度和降水波动在内的气候变量也显著影响田间分布。这些发现强调了将保护重点从现有保护区扩展到包括关键的未受保护栖息地和未来连通性走廊规划的重要性。

Niche modeling is an effective tool to forecast change in taxa range and evaluate the impacts of human activities on specific species in desert environments. Despite their utility, these methods are rarely applied to Mediterranean plants of Egypt, likely due to the inhospitable nature of many desert areas. The present study attempts to identify the habitat suitable for vegetation communities, and identify environmental drivers of their distribution, and assess the effect of human’s activity on the land cover in the Mareotis subsector of Egypt. Using occurrence data from 36 environmental variables and 291 plots, the Maxent algorithm was utilized to forecast the suitability of the habitat for four vegetation communities. Additionally, seven Landsat 8 satellite images were analyzed and classified using supervised classification to track land use/ cover changes (LULC). The Area Under the Curve (AUC) values of the models exceeded 0.9, revealing strong prediction accuracy, and reliable forecasts of Mediterranean plant communities’ possible geographical distribution. Elevation, wind speed, and the lowest temperature of the coldest month were the key bioclimatic drivers influencing the distribution of the majority of groups. The Rocky and gravelly area emerged as the predominant land use category, covering 59.9% of the region. However, 4% of the natural land cover has been converted to croplands, roads, resorts, and built-up areas due to human activities as of 2020.

生态位模型是预测荒漠环境中特定物种类群范围变化和评价人类活动对其影响的有效工具。尽管这些方法很有用，但很少应用于埃及的地中海植物，可能是由于许多沙漠地区的不适宜居住的性质。本研究旨在确定埃及Mareotis亚区适合植被群落的生境，确定其分布的环境驱动因素，并评估人类活动对土地覆盖的影响。利用36个环境变量和291个样地的发生数据，利用Maxent算法对4种植被群落的生境适宜性进行了预测。此外，对7幅Landsat 8卫星图像进行了分析和分类，采用监督分类方法跟踪土地利用/覆盖变化（LULC）。模型的曲线下面积（Area Under The Curve， AUC）值均超过0.9，预测精度较高，对地中海植物群落可能的地理分布有较好的预测效果。海拔、风速和最冷月份的最低温度是影响大多数类群分布的主要生物气候驱动因素。岩石和砾石区是主要的土地利用类型，占区域面积的59.9%。然而，截至2020年，由于人类活动，4%的自然土地覆盖已被转化为农田、道路、度假村和建成区。这项研究的结论可以帮助指导旨在拯救该地区物种的管理计划。此外，在经历类似土地利用变化的干旱地区进行的类似研究可以将该方法和研究结果作为参考。

Understanding how modified landscapes influence the breeding output of apex predators, such as raptors, is crucial for effective conservation planning. Cyclone-driven loss of mature nesting trees along India’s eastern coast has forced raptors to adapt to man-made structures, whose true fitness value remains unknown. Thus, we monitored the productivity of 33 White-bellied Sea-Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) territories along India’s cyclone-prone Odisha coast over four breeding seasons (2021–2025) and analysed 91 nesting attempts with the Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs). Fledge rate, the proportion of hatchlings that left the nest, was best explained by a negative effect of human population density (β = –0.53 ± 0.25 SE) and a positive effect of waterbody proportion (β = 0.19 ± 0.37). Nests far from waterbodies or embedded in dense settlement matrices fledged significantly fewer young, emphasising the primacy of accessible aquatic prey over vegetation structure or neighbour spacing. Nest structure was equally decisive: all 19 attempts in natural trees produced fledglings (mean ± SD = 1.74 ± 0.45), whereas 39 % of the 72 attempts on telecommunication and power pylons failed, yielding a much lower mean of 0.68 ± 0.60 fledglings, suggesting that artificial structures might be acting as ecological traps. Our findings highlight three management priorities: (i) protecting and restoring tall, cyclone-resilient coastal tree patches; (ii) establishing seasonal disturbance-free buffers that limit shoreline clearing and road traffic around active nests; and (iii) retrofitting existing pylons with raptor-safe platforms and scheduling maintenance outside the breeding window, and custom-made artificial structures should be placed at suitable sites.

了解改变后的景观如何影响顶级掠食者（如猛禽）的繁殖产出，对于有效的保护规划至关重要。飓风导致印度东海岸成熟筑巢树的消失，迫使迅猛龙适应人造建筑，其真正的适合度仍然未知。因此，我们在四个繁殖季节（2021-2025年）监测了印度易受气旋影响的奥里萨邦海岸33个白腹海鹰（halaeetus leucogaster）领地的生产力，并使用广义线性混合模型（glmm）分析了91次筑巢尝试。出巢率与人口密度负相关（β = -0.53±0.25 SE），与水体比例正相关（β = 0.19±0.37）。远离水体或嵌入密集沉降矩阵的巢穴中，幼鸟的羽化明显减少，强调了可接近的水生猎物比植被结构或邻居间距更重要。筑巢结构同样具有决定性作用：在天然树木上进行的19次尝试均产生了雏鸟（平均±SD = 1.74±0.45），而在电信和电力塔上进行的72次尝试中有39%失败，平均产生了0.68±0.60只雏鸟，这表明人工结构可能起到了生态陷阱的作用。我们的研究结果强调了三个管理重点：(i)保护和恢复高大的、具有抗气旋能力的沿海树木斑块；（ii）建立不受季节性干扰的缓冲区，限制清理海岸线和限制活跃巢穴周围的道路交通；（iii）在现有的桥塔上加装对猛禽安全的平台，并在繁殖窗口外安排维修，并在合适的地点放置定制的人工结构。

Mindanao is a globally significant hotspot for butterfly diversity and endemism, and Mt. Kitanglad, an ASEAN Heritage Park, is a key site for its conservation. This study provides the first documentation of the butterfly community on the northern slope of Mt. Kitanglad and a comprehensive update to the Mindanao butterfly checklist. A localized survey was conducted along a hiking trail using opportunistic netting and baited traps. Despite the proximity of the site to anthropogenic disturbances, the investigation documented 19 butterfly species representing 17 genera and three families (Nymphalidae, Papilionidae, and Lycaenidae). Notably, 42% (8 species) are endemic to the Philippines. The northern slope survey revealed high endemism rates, suggesting that further explorative research is needed for population estimation and abundance. Updating the last comprehensive checklist of Treadaway and Schroeder (2012), this paper presents a total of 953 butterfly species across 222 genera for Mindanao. The family Nymphalidae has the highest number of species (330), while Lycaenidae has the most genera (78). This vital number of species recorded in Mindanao establishes its crucial role in Philippine lepidopteran diversity, hosting a comparable number of species to the rest of the archipelago.

棉兰老岛是蝴蝶多样性和特有性的全球重要热点，而Kitanglad山是东盟遗产公园，是蝴蝶保护的重要地点。本研究首次记录了Kitanglad山北坡的蝴蝶群落，并对棉兰老岛蝴蝶清单进行了全面更新。沿着一条徒步小径进行了一项局部调查，使用了机会网和诱饵陷阱。尽管地点靠近人为干扰，但调查记录到3科17属19种蝴蝶（蛱蝶科、凤蝶科和Lycaenidae）。值得注意的是，42%（8种）是菲律宾特有的。北坡调查显示其特有率较高，种群估计和丰度有待进一步的探索性研究。本文更新了Treadaway和Schroeder（2012）的最新综合名录，介绍了棉兰老岛蝴蝶222属953种。蛱蝶科的种类最多（330），而Lycaenidae的属最多（78）。棉兰老岛记录的这一重要物种数量确立了其在菲律宾鳞翅目多样性中的关键作用，拥有与群岛其他地区相当数量的物种。

Constructing marine protected areas has significant implications for protecting the marine ecological environment, maintaining biodiversity, and safeguarding maritime security. It has become one of the most effective governance tools for protecting the ocean.The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework for protecting global biodiversity, which was adopted at the second stage of the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, promises to protect at least 30% of marine ecosystems by 2030. Therefore, how China can synergize with the international trend concerning the marine ecological civilization construction, has become a noteworthy issue. China has made significant progress in the development of marine protected areas over the years, and the newly revised “Marine Environmental Protection Law” has also included national parks in the protection area for the first time. However, there are still problems in the management system, overall layout planning, capital investment, and legal system during the construction of marine protected areas in China. From the perspective of adhering to the coordinated development of land and sea, this article proposes feasible improvement suggestions for the problems existing in China’s marine protected area construction,in order to establish a sound marine protected area system and provide strong guarantees for the steady promotion of marine ecological civilization construction in China.

海洋保护区建设对保护海洋生态环境、维护海洋生物多样性、维护海洋安全具有重要意义。它已成为保护海洋最有效的治理工具之一。旨在保护全球生物多样性的《昆明-蒙特利尔全球生物多样性框架》在《生物多样性公约》第15次缔约方大会第二阶段会议上获得通过，承诺到2030年保护至少30%的海洋生态系统。因此，中国如何在海洋生态文明建设方面与国际潮流接轨，已成为一个值得关注的问题。近年来，中国海洋保护区建设取得重大进展，新修订的《海洋环境保护法》也首次将国家公园纳入保护区。但是，中国海洋保护区建设在管理体制、总体布局规划、资金投入、法律制度等方面还存在一些问题。本文从坚持海陆协调发展的角度出发，针对中国海洋保护区建设中存在的问题，提出切实可行的改进建议，以期建立健全海洋保护区体系，为中国海洋生态文明建设的稳步推进提供有力保障。
