Forest ecosystems are often disturbed by agents such as harvesting, fire, wind, insects and diseases, and acid deposition, with differing intensities and frequencies. Such disturbances can markedly affect the amount, form, and stability of soil organic carbon in, and the emission of greenhouse gases, including CO2, CH4, and N2O from, forest ecosystems. It is vitally important that we improve our understanding of the impact of different disturbance regimes on forest soil carbon dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions to guide our future research, forest management practices, and policy development. This Special Issue provides an important update on the disturbance effects on soil carbon and greenhouse gas emissions in forest ecosystems in different climate regions.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence, ICAT 2006, held in Hangzhou, China in November/December 2006. The 138 revised papers cover anthropomorphic intelligent robotics, artificial life, augmented reality, distributed and collaborative VR system, motion tracking, real time computer simulation virtual reality, as well as VR interaction and navigation techniques.
This volume contains the selected papers resulting from the 7th Annual International Workshop on Materials Science and Engineering, and is focusing on the following six aspects: 1. Various Materials Properties, Processing, and Manufactures; 2. Multifunctional Materials Properties, Processing, and Manufactures; 3. Nanomaterials and Biomaterials; 4. Civil Materials and Sustainable Environment; 5. Electrochemical Valuation, Fracture Resistance, and Assessment; 6. Designs Related to Materials Science and Engineering. This proceeding presents and discusses key concepts and analyzes the state-of-the-art of the field. IWMSE 2021 is an academic conference in a series held once per year. The conference not only provides insights on materials science and engineering, but also affords conduit for future research in these fields. It provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.

This book contains a classic guide to historical study of early modern Chinese fiction from the late Qing Dynasty till early republican China. It does not merely study the new fiction writing in China, which was strongly influenced by the western fiction, but also draws a comparison between classical Chinese fiction and the early modern Chinese fiction. This book is an excellent reference in the study of early modern Chinese literature since it conveys a point of view to the readers with abundant and solid historical materials. At the heart of the book, it is the matter of a specific value in trans-cultural studies between the western world and China.
