Summary: This study conducts spatial zoning and assessment of peanut drought risk in Shandong Province using hierarchical analysis, weighted comprehensive evaluation, and ArcGIS spatial analysis. The results show that the high-risk zone for peanut drought is mainly located in the northwestern part and on the Jiaodong Peninsula of Shandong Province, while the high-vulnerability zone is concentrated in the cities of Yantai, Weihai, Linyi, and Rizhao. The research provides a basis for peanut drought disaster prevention and safe peanut production in Shandong Province.

Summary: This study aims to assess the risk of drought disasters in Shandong Province. A risk assessment model is developed based on the natural disaster system theory, and the agricultural drought risk from 2012 to 2020 is analyzed. The results show that the high-risk areas of agricultural drought disasters are mainly located in the western part of Shandong Province, while the eastern part has lower risk. The emergency response and recovery capacity in Rizhao and Zaozhuang is found to be low.

Summary: The study found a positive correlation between population density and measles incidence, while negative correlations were observed between measles incidence and healthcare condition as well as average routine vaccination rate. The predominant lineage of MeV in Shandong Province, China was formed by genotype H1 strains, and the most recent common ancestor of the N gene of MeV genotype H1 in Shandong traced back to around 1987 with relatively rapid evolution. The genetic diversity of MeV N gene increased before 2005 and remained relatively high and stable.

Summary: Archaeomagnetism is important in understanding the past behavior of the geomagnetic field, and archaeomagnetic dating can supplement traditional dating methods. However, China has a lack of archaeomagnetic data. This study provides new data from late Neolithic sites in Shandong province, updating the Chinese palaeomagnetic secular variation (PSV) curve for the last 7 kyr.

Summary: Urban shrinkage has become a common phenomenon in urban development in China, while rapid urbanization continues. This study investigates the spatiotemporal evolution and influencing factors of city growth and shrinkage at the county scale in Shandong Province, China. The findings reveal an increase and intensification of population- and economy-related shrinkage in the province, with urban growth concentrated along the river and the sea area. The growth and shrinkage patterns of different administrative units in Shandong vary significantly.
