Collar structures are widely used to protect monopile foundations from scour, but their geometric obstruction hinders direct observation of the surrounding flow in physical experiments. To overcome this limitation, this study employs large-eddy simulation (LES) to investigate the flow characteristics around a monopile with collar protection. The LES model was validated against well-documented experimental data of pile-induced...

Conservation agriculture has been shown to have multiple benefits for soils, crop yield and the environment, and consequently, no‐till, the central practice of conservation agriculture, has rapidly expanded. However, studies show that the potential for carbon (C) sequestration in no‐till farming sometimes is not realized, let alone the ability to maintain or improve crop yield. Here we present a global analysis of no‐till‐indu...

Rapid climate change and intensified human activities have resulted in water table lowering ( WTL ) and enhanced nitrogen (N) deposition in Tibetan alpine wetlands. These changes may alter the magnitude and direction of greenhouse gas ( GHG ) emissions, affecting the climate impact of these fragile ecosystems. We conducted a mesocosm experiment combined with a metagenomics approach (GeoChip 5.0) to elucidate the effects of WTL...
