“…The way in which Nature Reserves and neighboring communities collaborate has a big influence on conservation management strategies as well as the local community ( Guo et al., 2024 ). In order to conserve and better comprehend ecosystem services, it is also beneficial to raise education levels, create community norms and regulations, fortify human-nature relationships, and use ecological indigenous notions in environmental management ( Ke et al., 2024 ). The major goals of the study are to examine and characterize the morphological forms and diversity of different trichomes that are present on the leaves, petioles, and stem of Parthenium hysterophorus L., which has been reported in semi-arid parts of the Indian Thar Desert.…”

The Asteraceae family of plants, which has 16,000–17,000 genera and 24,000–30000 species, is diverse and widely spread, notably in the tropics and subtropics. Asteraceae has capitula head bracket traits that are unique to this genus of plants. This study’s goal was to identify the micro-morphological makeup of the trichomes in Parthenium hysterophorus L. Invasive weed Parthenium hysterophorus L. is erect, short-lived fast-growing plant is found in hot areas and is known for its luxuriant growth. As the stem attains maturity, becomes harder. Mature stems are greenish and coated in tiny, soft hairs called hirustles. Later leaves are simple and deeply pinnatifid, while early leaves create a rosette habitat. Hundreds of tiny flower heads, or capitulum, are arranged in clusters at the apex of the branches. Trichomes are epidermal appendages that are frequently seen on the leaves, stems, and fruits of plants. There are two types of trichomes: glandular and non-glandular. The immature leaves and stem of Parthenium hysterophorus L. were cut into slices, the layers were removed, and the specimen was examined at X4, X10, X40, and X100 magnifications under light microscope. The sample was taken from the stem, which was located one to three centimeters from the tip. 14 different types of trichomes, including cylindrical, moniliform, simple uniseriate, non-glandular sessile, and palate types of glandular trichomes, are observed on the leaves, petiole, and stem of Parthenium hysterophorus L. These trichomes are primarily identified based on their structural differences. Trichomes are an important taxonomic tool for differentiating between species and genera. In respect to aridity, the study presents several new features that give future taxonomists a basic understanding of trichome diversity.

An ecological security pattern is an essential natural solution for promoting the coordinated and sustainable development of urban growth and the ecological environment within a given region. This study aims to develop a comprehensive ecological security pattern (ESP) for the Jinjiang watershed by integrating multiple ecological service functions: ecological regulation, eco-product provisions, and human settlement services. Using a well-established methodology of “source identification—resistance surface construction—ecological corridor extraction”, we identified 322 ecological source areas and delineated 321 ecological corridors spanning 1941.67 km, with key corridors connecting ecological regulation sources and ordinary corridors primarily linking eco-product provisions and human settlement sources. Our results show that the northern hilly regions are significant for ecological regulation, Anxi County is key for eco-product provisions, and human settlement services are scattered across urban areas and river valleys. This integration enhances regional ecological sustainability and provides a model for similar coastal regions globally. Our findings offer scientific guidance for balancing urban growth with ecological preservation, contributing to sustainable development worldwide.
