[i] An ongoing issue regarding the crustal evolution of Venus is whether or not certain features and processes occurred in the same sequence and at the same time globally. This paper seeks to test one aspect of "directional" models for the geologic history; the inference that all ridge belts are older than regional plains. This test involves traditional geologic analysis, but also involves the ...

[1] A global assessment of impact craters on Venus 30 km in diameter shows that 146 craters are completely or partially superposed on the regional plains that dominate the surface and typically are deformed by wrinkle ridges. In this study, we found that 10 of these craters are deformed by wrinkle ridges (pre-WR), 93 craters are superposed on wrinkle ridges (post-WR), and 43 craters were found ...

: Healthy and sustainable high-quality development needs to rely on scientific planning design of assessment system, enabling become an important tool lead drive in China. A evaluation index system is proposed, consisting six dimensions: economic operation, innovation-driven, coordinated development, green ecology, open sharing harmony, the temporal spatial Differentiation China's inter-provinc...

Differences in the direction and degree to which invasive alien and native plants are influenced by mycorrhizal associations could indicate a general mechanism of plant invasion, but whether or not such differences exist is unclear. Here, we tested whether mycorrhizal responsiveness varies by plant invasive status while controlling for phylogenetic relatedness among plants with two large grassl...
