Abstract	Tropical vegetation plays a critical role in terrestrial carbon budget and supply many ecological functions such as carbon sequestration. In recent decades, India has witnessed an increase in net primary productivity (NPP), an important measure of carbon sequestration. However, uncertainties persist regarding the sustainability of these land carbon sinks in the face of climate change. The enhanced NPP is driven by the strong CO

Abstract	Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report a modified U-shaped medial capsulorrhaphy and compare its clinical and radiological differences with an inverted L-shaped capsulorrhaphy in hallux valgus (HV) surgery. Methods: A prospective study of 78 patients was performed between January 2018 and October 2021. All patients underwent chevron osteotomy and soft tissue procedures for HV, and the patients were randomly separated into 2 groups according to the medial capsule closing techniques: a modified U-shaped capsulorrhaphy (group U) and an L-shaped capsulorrhaphy (group L). All patients were followed for at least a year. The preoperative and follow-up data were collected for each patient and included patient demographics, weight-bearing radiographs of the foot, the active range of motion (ROM) of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) forefoot score. Mann-Whitney U test was used for the comparison of the postoperative measures between the groups. Results: In total, 75 patients with 80 affected feet met the inclusion criteria, with 38 patients (41 feet) in group U and 37 patients (39 feet) in group L. One year after surgery, the mean hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), and AOFAS score in group U improved from 29.5 to 7.1, from 13.4 to 7.1, and from 53.4 to 85.5, respectively. The mean HVA, IMA, and AOFAS score in group L improved from 31.2 to 9.6, from 13.5 to 7.9, and from 52.3 to 86.6, respectively. Comparing the 1-year postoperative measures between the 2 groups, a significant difference was found in HVA (P = 0.02), but not found in IMA and AOFAS score (P = 0.25 and P = 0.24, respectively). The mean ROM of the first MTP joint was 66.3 degrees preoperatively and 53.3 degrees at the 1-year follow-up in group U, while 63.3 and 47.5 in group L. The degrees of ROM after 1 year in group U were better than those in group L (P = 0.04). Conclusion: Compared to the inverted L-shaped capsulorrhaphy, the modified U-shaped capsulorrhaphy provided a better ROM of the first MTP joint; at 1 year following surgery, the modified U-shaped capsulorrhaphy maintained the normal HVA better.

Abstract	Species diversity plays an essential role in enhancing ecosystem functions (EF) in both natural and plantation forests. However, we do not fully understand whether species diversity could maintain the sustainability of EFs in multiple-rotation plantations. Here, we hypothesized that tree species mixtures could mitigate declines in EFs along successive rotations, but could not maintain ecosystem multifunctionality. To test our hypothesis, we examined the effects of species diversity on four EFs, i.e., aboveground biomass (AGB), soil available nitrogen (SAN) and phosphorus (SAP), and soil organic matter (SOM), based on pure model simulation in plantations of subtropical China. The model fusion framework was set up by the integration of the process-based FORECAST and Multivariate Diversity-Interactions models. In the simulation, four local typical plantation tree species (two conifers, one evergreen broadleaf, and one deciduous N-fixing broadleaf) were selected and combined to form four monoculture and 11 mixture stands, and for each stand, the simulation was made for four 25-year rotations. The results showed that all the four EFs declined with the progress of rotations in both monoculture and mixtures, and the declining range was larger in monoculture than in mixtures in each rotation. Particularly, SAP significantly decreased while AGB, SAN, and SOM increased with diversity evenness from 0 (monoculture) to 1 (four species being equal abundant in the mixture). Overall, SAP and AGB displayed higher sensitivity to the disturbance of successive rotations compared with SAN and SOM. These results suggest that mixing species could not maintain EFs along with successive rotations because it could not alleviate SAP deficiencies in the soils resulted from the disturbances of silvicultural measures.

Abstract	CONTEXT: Forest disturbance and management can significantly affect water quality. The understanding of the quantitative relationships between forest change/forest landscape patterns and water quality is critical for designing forest management practices to ensure a sustainable clean water supply. OBJECTIVES: We quantified the relationships between (1) forest cover and (2) forest landscape patterns and water quality parameters. We also assessed contributing factors (i.e., climate zones, seasonality, watershed properties, forest types, and watershed context) to the variations in the above-mentioned relationships. METHODS: A meta-analysis based on published case studies around the globe was conducted to address the stated objectives. RESULTS: (1) Forest cover significantly affects the selected water quality parameters with higher forest cover rates overall improving water quality. (2) Surprisingly, the forest-water quality relationship is more controlled by watershed properties (i.e., slope, watershed size) and forest characteristics than by climate, except dissolved oxygen. The mixtures of coniferous and broadleaved forests improve the positive effects of forest cover on TN and TP compared to monocultures, while natural forests have significantly positive effects on phosphorus parameters compared to planted forests. (3) Forest landscape fragmentation causes negative effects on all selected forms of nitrogen (i.e., TN, nitrate, and ammonia). (4) The regulating effects of forests are influenced by the land use contexts in a watershed where agricultural lands significantly degrade water quality. CONCLUSIONS: Forests can have positive effects on water quality. Deforestation and forest landscape fragmentation lead to declines in water quality. However, there are large variations in water quality responses depending on the selected water quality parameters, watershed properties, forest types, climate, and land use contexts.

Abstract	Background: Forest disturbance induced changes in the coupling of forest carbon and water have important implications for ecosystem functioning and sustainable forest management. However, this is rarely investigated at the large watershed scale with cumulative forest disturbance. We used a combination of techniques including modeling, statistical analysis, and machine learning to investigate the effects of cumulative forest disturbance on water use efficiency (WUE, a proxy for carbon and water coupling) in the 19,200 km Results: Surprisingly, with the dramatic forest disturbance increase from 2000 to 2016 which was mainly due to MPB, watershed-level carbon stocks and sequestration showed an insignificant reduction. This resilience was mainly due to landscape-level carbon dynamics that saw a balance between a variety of disturbance rates and types, an accumulation of older stand types, and fast growing young regenerated forests. Watershed-level carbon sequestration capacity was sustained, measured by Net Primary Production (NPP). A concurrent significant decrease in annual evapotranspiration (ET), led to a 19% increase in WUE (defined as the ratio of NPP to ET), which is contrary to common findings after disturbance at the forest stand-level. During this period of high disturbance, ET was the dominant driver of the WUE increase. Conclusions: We conclude that disturbance-driven forest dynamics and the appropriate scale must be considered when investigating carbon and water relationship. In contrast to the stand-level trade-off relationship between carbon and water, forested watersheds may be managed to maintain timber, carbon and water resources across large landscapes.
