Villager participation has become a key breakthrough in rural landscape governance. Using the theory of planned behavior and the norm activation theory as frameworks, this study adopts the structural equation model to explore the influencing mechanism of villager participation in rural micro-landscapes based on data gathered from 414 villagers in a rural micro-landscape construction survey in Jinjiang, China. The results indicate that (1) integrated planned behavior theory and norm activation theory can better explain the influencing mechanism of villagers’ participation in rural micro-landscape construction; (2) perception, norm, attitude, and control dimensions significantly influence villagers’ participation behavior intention. The attitude dimension had the greatest influence, followed by the normative and control dimensions, while the perception dimension had the least influence on the procedure; and (3) according to the mediation results, natural environment perception, social environment perception, personal norm, social norm, participation attitude, result awareness, and self-efficacy all exert indirect effects on participation behavior based on villagers’ participation behavioral intention. The largest median effect value was result awareness, followed by personal norm, participation attitude, natural environment awareness, self-efficacy, and social norm. This study expands the theoretical framework and research content of planned behavior and clarifies the mechanism of the influencing factors of villagers’ participation in rural micro-landscapes, extending the theory of planned behavior to the research field of villagers’ participation, which has a guiding role in promoting the co-construction, co-governance, and sharing of rural landscapes.
Isoetes sinensis is the only aquatic pteridophyte in China with high research value of phylogeny. It is in endangered status. A conservation strategy is therefore imperative for this endangered pteridophyte. In the study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Isoetes sinensis (Isoetaceae) was assembled and annotated. It is the full length of 145,492 bp, include large single-copy (LSC) region of 91,865 bp, small single-copy (SSC) region of 13,207 bp, and a pair of invert repeats (IR) regions of 27,213 bp. Plastid genome contains 135 genes, 71 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis suggested I. sinensis was most closely related to the clade of I. melanospora, I. mattaponica, I. graniticola, I. engelmannii, I. flaccida, I. valida, and I. butleri, with strong support (bootstrap ¼ 100%). The cp genome will contribute to further research and conservation of I. sinensis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
