Emerging Hotspots of Cropland Expansion on Steeper Tropical Terrains Intensify Tropical Forest Carbon Loss

Xiaofeng Yang, Alan D. Ziegler, Haohan Wei, Paul R. Elsen et autres

Abstract Tropical deforestation driven by agricultural expansion to meet growing food demand poses a rising threat to the global carbon cycle. While previous studies quantified agriculture‐related carbon losses, the role of cropland expansion remains poorly resolved, partly because widely used agricultural driver …

Blast Resistance and Post-Cracking Performance of High-Strength Self-Compacting Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Slabs

David Ángel Cendón Franco, Francisco Galvez Diaz-Rubio, Gonzalo Ruiz, Xiaoxin Zhang

High-performance steel fiber-reinforced concrete (HPFRC) is a promising material for structures subjected to dynamic loads, such as explosions. This study investigates the blast performance and residual strength of high-strength, self-compacting steel-fiber reinforced concrete slabs with different fiber configurations. Three mixes were developed: …

We combined high-resolution satellite observations from NIFCI with deep learning to monitor the spatiotemporal expansion of nickel mining in Indonesia and the Philippines from 2016 to 2025. The mining layer was evaluated with 1,500 randomly selected validation samples. This collection includes:Nikcel mining …

Rapid expansion of nickel mining in Indonesia and the Philippines by global clean energy transition

Xiaoxin Zhang, Бин Чэн

Nickel is a critical element supporting modern infrastructures and the global transition to clear energy. The recent shift towards low-carbon electric transportation has accelerated nickel extraction in mineral-rich regions, notably in Indonesia and the Philippines, which now accounts for more than two-thirds …

Globally increased cropland soil exposure to climate extremes in recent decades

Luwei Feng, Yumiao Wang, Rasmus Fensholt, Xiaoye Tong et autres

Soil quality is fundamental to nutrient-rich food production and the sustainability of terrestrial ecosystems. However, inappropriate agricultural practices often lead to persistent soil exposure to air and sunlight, which increases soil organic matter losses and erosion risks, particularly under climate extremes. Here, …
