Summary: The research results illustrated an exponential increase in the number of publications on fine roots, with the USA, China, and Germany being the most productive countries. The Chinese Academy of Science emerged as the most productive institution in fine roots research and played a key role in domestic and international cooperation networks. Authors Leuschner C and Hertel D stood out as the most productive contributors. Additionally, the analysis revealed a limited author collaboration network mainly within the same countries/territories and institutions, and identified hotspots in biomass, decomposition, and respiration of fine roots, particularly in the context of climate change.

Summary: Desert research in China has made significant progress since the 1980s, but a systematic review and quantitative analysis of these publications have been lacking. The number of publications has increased exponentially in recent years, with a focus on the Tengger Desert, the Taklimakan Desert, and the Horqin Sandy Land, and major research fields include earth sciences, environmental science and ecology, geology, and agriculture. Notably, there has been an increased focus on climate change and anthropogenic disturbances in desert areas in China.

Summary: This study provides an overview of thermal insulation materials, focusing on heat reflective insulators. A numerical investigation method is used to validate the thermal resistance performance of different reflective materials on the market. The simulation of typical walls in Italy shows that most heat-reflective materials do not meet the required transmittance. Economic analysis suggests that both heat reflective and traditional insulators have comparable costs, requiring a case-by-case evaluation of cost effectiveness.
