    XIE Hualing CHI Peijuan YANG Yanping
    WORLD SCI-TECH R&D    2022, 44 (5): 605-617.   DOI: 10.16507/j.issn.1006-6055.2022.01.003

    Agriculture is not only an important sector of the national economy, but also an important carbon-source and carbon-sink. As a carbon-sink, agriculture has the ability to compensate for the inevitable carbon emissions of itself and other sectors. The core of low-carbon agriculture is to promote the overall green transformation of agricultural development. Promoting and expanding the practices of low-carbon agriculture is the best ways to achieve the reduction goal of carbon-emission, and deal with the climate crisis. This paper focuses on the analysis of low-carbon agriculture related actions of the EU, the United States and Japan from the dimensions of action background, development objectives and technology paths, as well as relevant support systems and expected effects. It is found that the low-carbon agriculture related actions have strong inheritance in these developed countries: 1)the EU mainly advocates nature based solutions to promote the realization of various green goals in Europe by decoupling economic growth from resource consumption; 2)the United States focuses on building climate-smart agroforestry, while meeting there quirements of improving productivity, enhancing the ability of agriculture to cope with climate change and reducin genvironmental load; 3)Japan emphasizes the decarbonization of agricultural through digital, smart, biological and other technological innovation, while at the same time improve and ensure Japan's food self-sufficiency ratio and domestic production rates. Among them, the EU mainly through restricting the use of certain agricultural inputs, expanding the area of organic farming and other measures to achieve development goals; the United States achieves the development goals mainly by technological innovation; and Japan combines the technical characteristics of the EU and the United States. The core of low-carbon agriculture in the above three economies is to strengthen the management of agricultural green house gas emission and storage through perfect policy support system, appropriate operation and management mode and advanced emission reduction and carbon fixation technology. There is still a big gap between China and countries with high level of low-carbon agriculture, including slow progress in the development of new plants and animals varieties for adaptation and mitigation of climate change, insufficient substitution of clean energy for agricultural production, and continued high greenhouse gas emissions caused by food loss and waste. China should strengthen its planning and layout in such areas as policy planning, scientific and technological support and international cooperation, so as to build China's low-carbon agricultural industry as early as possible and help China achieve its goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.

    The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), including 20 distinctive time-of-flight neutron scattering spectrometers, is a major scientific platform for China’s neutron scattering research and a national scientific device constructed during the 12th Five-Year Plan of China. The neutron chopper is a neutron optical component that regulates the beam current on the scale of time, thereby being an indispensable part in a neutron scattering spectrometer. Its main functions are selecting the desired neutron band range and improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The CSNS needs approximately 73 sets of neutron choppers, which would require regular operation and maintenance. In order to avoid the import restriction of such critical instrument and ensure the success of the Big Scientific Engineering Construction, the CSNS formed a team for neutron chopper development in 2007, which overcame various key technological difficulties, successfully developed bandwidth limited chopper, T0 chopper and Fermi chopper in time, and realized the domestic production of neutron choppers with independent intellectual property rights. 9 sets, 27 sets and 37 sets of these neutron choppers have been or will be applied in the CSNS’s Phase I Project, Cooperative Spectrometer Project, and the future Phase II Project, respectively. The independently developed neutron choppers provided an important guarantee for the smooth construction of the CSNS. Their use is not restricted to China spallation neutron source projects, but can be extended to synchrotron radiation light source (X-ray chopper) projects, high-speed rotation mechanical equipments and other fields.

    Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is a coherent elastic scattering technique. It uses neutron as the probe to characterize the microscopic and mesoscopic structures of materials. SANS has been widely used in the fields of physics, chemistry, material science, biology and so on. At the early stage, SANS used pinhole geometry to collimate the neutron beam, and measured the length scales from 1 nm to 100 nm. With the increase in the neutron flux and the development of the neutron optics and detection technologies, SANS gradually develops into two directions, i.e., larger length scale, and smaller length scale, respectively. To detect larger length scale, Very Small Angle Neutron Scattering (VSANS), Ultra Small Angle Neutron Scattering (USANS) and Spin Echo Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SESANS) are developed; to detect smaller length scale, Neutron Total Scattering instrument for Disordered Macromolecules is developed. Nowadays, SANS is aiming at full-scale coverage and intelligent data analysis, hoping to measure the multi-scale structures of complex systems at one time. This article follows the development history of SANS technologies, explores its development direction and intersperses its role in the field of basic and applied scientific research.

    There has been an increased recognition that more attention needs to be paid to the new nationwide system in scientific and technological innovations. While the nationwide system can be adopted optimally in the past decades, pathways about how to be implemented in the new era still need further exploration. In order to analyze this issue, we compared the methods and cases of how to mobilize innovative resources and breakthrough major national scientific and technological problems at home and abroad. We compared the scientific and technological innovation situation in different historical periods in China from the view of history, theory, and practices. On this basis, we put forward the “bow and arrow mode” for implementing the new nationwide system. This pattern has shown that the new nationwide system in scientific and technological innovations relies on the combinations of the top-down approach to determine larger goals and the bottom-up approach to maintaining the adaptability and the flexibility of each task. On the one hand, by modeling the interlinkages in the overall solution, the top-down approach is designed to focus on the strategic priorities of holistic thinking and planning. On the other hand, the bottom-up approach is applied to distribute the local tasks based on the innovation capabilities of each team to fulfill the larger goals. Therefore, implementing a new nationwide system in scientific and technological innovations can spawn many positive impacts through synthesizing coordination strategies for team tasks.

    Abstract: Large scale scientific facilities are an important symbol of the country's scientific and technological innovation capability and comprehensive strength, economic strength and even soft power. As the largest target country of technological and economic sanctions by Western countries, its experience in the construction of large-scale scientific facilities have practical significance. This paper clarifies the concept of the Russian Megascience facilities, sorting out its policy evolution, examines its construction process and latest progress, and summarizes the characteristics of Russian Megascience facilities in terms of projects, goals, management and factors. There are only 7 Megascience facilities defined in Russia in a narrow sense. They are projects with international comparative advantages selected under the scientific management system of Russia's mandatory plan. The situation at home and abroad is highly sensitive. China should build a benign international cooperation mechanism with independent research and development as the main line, build a sustainable large-scale scientific development ecology, and strike a balance between accumulating resources to build large scale scientific facilities and expanding scientific and technological undertakings.

    Ecosystem process has always been one of the core issues of ecology and evolutionary ecology, and the theoretical basis of ecological restoration. Much of the understanding of ecological systems has been based on the idea that the observed states and dynamics of ecological systems can be represented by stable asymptotic behavior. The dynamic processes including tipping points and a seemingly stable period of temporary changes before reaching a tipping point, which are called transient dynamics. As a self-organized process, transient dynamics is often extended by random events, external or internal disturbances. In this review, the characteristics of transient dynamic, measurement indicators, models and ecological significance were summarized. The results showed that the current transient phenomenon focused on the population scale based on the matrix model between the regime shifts. Taking riparian zone as an example, this review provides valuable information on using the transient theory to explain complex ecosystem affected by multiple factors and put forward a new perspective to reveal the transient dynamic and its ecological significance. The transient dynamic model can be used to predict the tipping points of system self-organization and the process before it comes. The research based on transient dynamic can provide new insights of the ecosystem process management and take measures to intervene the imbalance of the ecosystem.

Clean ammonia, which does not depend on fossil resources and has no carbon dioxide emissions, can be used as a green fertilizer and provide a clean fuel with no carbon emissions, which can help promote the green transformation of agriculture and energy. This paper reviews the current status of bioammonia development in terms of technical advantages, major production technologies, applications, and commercialization challenges, and analyzes the feasibility of developing bioammonia as an important tool for the green transformation of agriculture and energy in the context of China's actual situation. Biorefining agricultural and forestry wastes to obtain high-value products such as biochar and pulp, bio-polyester, bio-fuel, etc. The production of clean ammonia from biochar to hydrogen using existing ammonia synthesis plants can compete economically with traditional fossil ammonia. China has 1 billion tons of usable agricultural and forestry waste as raw material security every year, and the production of 60 million tons of bio-ammonia can increase farmers’ income by 120 billion yuan, create 10000 billion yuan of output value, and reduce 200 million tons of carbon dioxide, which plays an important role in promoting the high-quality development of bio-economy.
