Concentration Variation Characteristics and Control Strategies of Poplar catkin in the Urban Area of Dezhou CityAbstract:Populus species serve as primary urban greening trees in northern Chinese cities.Extensive cultivation has led to significant challenges from airborne catkin pollution in municipal management.To advance scientific catkin monitoring and precision control strategies,we employed an image-based quantification method to measure airborne catkin concentrations in Dezhou's urban areas.Results indicate two peak periods:April 7 to 14 and April 27 to May 7,2025,with approximately 20 days between the catkin dispersal peaks of Populus tomentosa and Populus canadensis.The catkin release process progresses through three distinct phases:initial dispersal,outbreak,and cessation.The outbreak stage exhibits the longest duration,characterized by rapid surge and abrupt decline without mitigation phases.The critical intervention timing occurs at the onset of the outbreak stage,where every degree of temperature rise was associated with an exponential increase in catkin concentration.Effective management therefore requires precise timing aligned with the beginning of this rapid surges,demanding intensified control measures tailored to the specific Populus species during its respective critical period
Integrated Control of Pine Wood Nematode Disease:Multi-Dimensional Collaborative Governance from Traditional Strategies to NanotechnologyAbstract:Pine Wilt Disease(PWD)is a major disease threat to global forest ecosystems and is caused by the pine wood nematode(Bursaphelenchus xylophilus).Conventional chemical control agents,such as abamectin(AVM),are hindered by poor permeability,inefficient translocation,and limited sustained-release capabilities,which collectively undermine their effectiveness.Recent breakthroughs in nano-drug delivery systems offer a promising strategy to overcome these challenges.This review highlights the development of nanotechnology-based targeted control systems,wherein surface-modified nanocarriers enable specific recognition and enhanced penetration into host tissues.Furthermore,the use of mesoporous materials with tunable pore sizes and functionalized surfaces facilitates the construction of stimulus-responsive sustained-release systems,significantly improving drug release profiles and translocation efficiency.Studies demonstrate that AVM-loaded nanoparticles achieve a 60%improvement in distribution uniformity within pine trees and extend the duration of efficacy by four.Additionally,this article introduces an innovative"integrated prevention network"that combines nanocarriers with insect pheromones and biological control agents.By encapsulating bioactive compounds,this approach enables spatiotemporal coordination among physical,chemical,and biological control methods.The proposed system provides a theoretical foundation for overcoming current limitations in PWD management and suggests new directions for controlling endophytic pests and diseases in forest ecosystems.

Comparative Study on Flexibility Characteristics of Branches in Three Ilex Series VarietiesAbstract:To investigate the stem flexibility of several Ilex species for horticultural shaping in home gardens,this study investigated 15 varieties from three Ilex series—I.verticillata,I.aquifolium,and I.cornuta,4-5mm middle diameter branches of these varieties were conducted to measure flexural modulus of elasticity,flexural strength,and bending force using three—point bending tests.Physicochemical analyses,including cellulose,hemicellulose,lignin content,and moisture content,were performed to explore mechanical differences within and between series,as well as the influence of physicochemical properties on bending performance.Results showed that significant differences in modulus of elasticity among the three series(P<0.05).The I.aquifolium exhibited the weakest bending resistance and the bset flexibility,particularly in I.aquifolium'Silver Van Tol'and I.aquifolium'Madame Briot',which were identified as highly flexible cultivars.The I.verticillata series demonstrated intermediate mechanical properties,balancing rigidity and flexibility.Physicochemical analyses showed positive correlations between cellulose,hemicellulose,and holocellulose content with modulus of elasticity,while moisture content negatively correlated with bending resistance.In conclusion,I.aquifolium'Silver Van Tol'and I.aquifolium'Madame Briot'are recommended for high-flexibility topiary applications.This study further elucidates the mechanisms underlying the variation in branch flexibility among the three I. series,thereby providing a theoretical basis for screening holly varieties suitable for topiary.
Research on the Construction of Citizen Local Attachment Model for Plant Landscape Element PreferenceAbstract:With the accelerating pace of urbanization,how to mitigate residents'sense of loss during urban greening construction has become an increasing concern.Taking Fuzhou as a case study,this research conducted a questionnaire survey to understand the preferences of citizens for plant landscape elements and their degree of local attachment.A structural equation model was established using AMOS software to identify the plant landscape factors that influence citizens'local attachment.After model fitting tests,a conceptual model linking citizens'preferences for local plant landscape design elements to local attachment was constructed.The results indicate that both plant features and landscape preferences among plant landscape elements have a significant positive impact on citizens's local attachment.In urban greening construction,measures such as enhancing plant color combinations,improving ecological and cultural functions,creating distinctive landscapes,and enriching landscaping layers should be implemented to increase the proportion of local plant applications,strengthen citizens'emotional connection,and develop regional plant landscapes that evoke a sense of nostalgia.
Research on the Spatial Deconstruction and Living Inheritance Pathways of Traditional Villages:A Case Study of Zhangqiu District,Jinan CityAbstract:Against the backdrop of rapid urbanization,traditional villages are facing crises of landscape gene fragmentation and cultural inheritance disruption.This study takes traditional villages in Zhangqiu District as case studies,employing GIS spatial analysis,landscape spatial deconstruction,and gene identification to analyze the symbiotic characteristics of the"mountain-water-field-village"spatial pattern.The study reveals the preservation challenges and underlying mechanisms of spatial disorder,cultural discontinuity,and economic unidimensionality in traditional villages.A synergistic model of"graded preservation-living renewal"is proposed.Ultimately,a three-tier preservation model("core zone-control zone-coordination zone")coupled with spatial syntax optimization was constructed for Zhujiayu Village,establishing a dual-track inheritance mechanism to achieve cultural revitalization.This provides both a theoretical paradigm and practical pathways for the living preservation of traditional villages in the Yellow River Basin.
Acclimation to Light Environment of Three Landscaping TreesAbstract:To understand the adaptability of garden trees to low-light environments and expand species selection for shaded habitats under elevated bridges,this study used two-years-old potted seedlings of Cercis chinensis,Ligustrum lucidum.and Euonymus japonicus as test materials.Compared to an outdoor control environment,three light regimes were simulated:greenhouse shading,normal light within a greenhouse,and complete shading with supplemental lighting from growth lamps.Photosynthetically active radiation(PAR)at the plant canopy level,along with plant growth and photosynthetic parameters,were measured.Results showed that as canopy PAR decreased,the maximum net photosynthetic rate,light saturation point,light compensation point and specific leaf weight of three species significantly declined,indicating their photosynthetic acclimation to low light.Based on their light compensation points under shading,C.chinensis exhibited the strongest shade tolerance,E.japonicus demonstrated moderate shade tolerance,while L.lucidum displayed the weakest shade tolerance.Under severe shading conditions,supplemental lighting can only achieve significant improvement if the canopy light intensity exceeds the species-specific light compensation point.
