The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the State Council have assessed the situation and made sound decisions to further consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation and to successively promote the development of poverty-alleviated areas and comprehensive rural revitalization. In order to ensure that the “relay baton” of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization is handed over successfully, the No. 1 Central Document has clearly proposed to set up a 5-year transition period from the date of poverty alleviation, maintain the overall structure of the existing major supportive policies, give poverty-alleviated counties a leg up to get them going. The government will continue to consolidate poverty alleviation’s achievements, promote comprehensive rural vitalization, strengthen assistance for low-income rural residents on a regular basis, and gradually realize a smooth transition from concentrated support for poverty alleviation to the comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization. [1]The purpose of effectively aligning the consolidation of the achievements of poverty alleviation with rural revitalization is to help rural areas to secure the achievements of poverty alleviation, prevent the reoccurrence of poverty for those who had been lifted out and diminish the effectiveness of poverty alleviation, and further transfer the battle of poverty alleviation to the battlefield of rural revitalization and achieve a good alignment.

The development of fibers and textiles span the entire history of human science and technology as well as civilization. The emerging wearable electronics is attracting enormous attention compared with traditional rigid and brittle devices, as it could conform to the curved human body with complex morphology and adapt to intense movements naturally. Smart fibers and textiles are highly desirable due to their attractive properties such as lightweight, breathability, weavability, stretchability, and excellent adaptability to arbitrary mechanical deformations during daily human activities. Furthermore, smart fibers and textiles have been regarded as ideal building blocks to weave flexible and stretchable electronics, which holds great promise in emerging clothe-based wearable applications. This review comprehensively summarizes the state-of-the-art achievement and advancement of smart fibers and textiles for emerging wearable electronics, including fiber/textile-based breathable substrates, conductive materials, manufacturing methods and their applications in emerging wearable electronics such as stretchable conductive fibers, soft sensors, personal healthcare, entertainment and thermal management. We mainly focus on smart fibers and textiles with high-comfort wearing experience and intelligent functions, which could seamlessly integrate the advantages of traditional clothes and electronic devices, and discuss the strategies and mechanisms that are suitable for fabricating high-performance smart fibers and textiles with excellent mechanical deformability and wearable reliability. Finally, critical analysis on the opportunities, challenges as well as future development directions of smart fibers and textiles in emerging clothe-based wearable electronics are also presented.

Soil freeze–thaw processes lead to high nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and exacerbate the greenhouse effect. The wetlands of the Inner Mongolia Plateau are in the pronounced seasonal freeze–thaw zone, but the effect of spring thaw on N2O emissions and related microbial mechanisms is still unclear. We investigated the effects of different periods (freeze, freeze–thaw, and thaw) on soil bacterial community diversity and composition and greenhouse gas emissions during the spring freeze–thaw in the XiLin River riparian wetlands in China by amplicon sequencing and static dark box methods. The results showed that the freeze–thaw periods predominantly impact on the diversity and composition of the bacterial communities. The phyla composition of the soil bacteria communities of the three periods is similar in level, with Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Actinobacteria, and Acidobacteria dominating the microbial communities. The alpha‐diversity of bacterial communities in different periods varies that the freezing period is higher than that of the freeze–thaw period (p <.05). Soil total carbon, soil water content, and microbial biomass carbon were the primary factors regulating the abundance and compositions of the bacterial communities during spring thawing periods. Based on functional predictions, the relative abundance of nitrification and denitrification genes was higher in the freezing period than in the thawing period, while the abundance was lowest in the freeze–thawing period. The correlation results found that N2O emissions were significantly correlated with amoA and amoB in nitrification genes, indicating that nitrification may be the main process of N2O production during spring thaw. This study reveals potential microbial mechanisms of N2O emission during spring thaw and provides data support and theoretical basis for further insight into the mechanism of N2O emission during spring thaw. This study highlights the difference in soil bacterial communities and N cycle functional genes in different spring thawing periods, and the microbial mechanism of N2O during the spring thaw, which is helpful to better understand the microbial process of N2O emission under climate change.
