    The moisture content of forest floor litter is a key factor in forest fire occurrences, and its accurate detection is crucial for fire prevention. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can directly invert moisture content from spectral data, enabling rapid detection of litter moisture content. However, spectral characteristics differ between fuel types due to variations in light intensity data at different wavelengths, requiring separate detection models for litter from different tree species to match specific light intensity-moisture content inversion relationships. Collecting and labeling spectral data across different forest stands is time-consuming, limiting the practical application of the spectral method. To address this issue, this study proposes a moisture content detection method for forest floor litter based on Bi-LSTM (Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory) transfer learning. By transferring the trained model parameters to new models, we avoid training models from scratch, thereby improving model learning efficiency and reducing the data required for training. The study demonstrates that the Bi-LSTM method surpasses the traditional inversion approach using LSTM in terms of detection accuracy. Specifically, the mean absolute error (MAE) for Quercus mongolica and Larix gmelinii is reduced by 0.62% and 0.87%, respectively, while the mean squared error (MSE) is reduced by 0.28% and 0.70%, respectively. Moreover, the Bi-LSTM-based transfer learning approach significantly lessens the reliance on labeled NIR spectral data. With a target domain sample size of 300 and a source domain sample size of 1 000, the detection model record an MAE of 3.27%, an MSE of 1.10%, and an R² of 0.918. When compared to models without source domain training, the MAE and MSE show reductions of 2.36% and 1.02%, respectively, and an increase in R² of 0.114. A comparative analysis before and after implementing transfer learning reveals that this methodology offers a novel strategy to diminish the time cost associated with modeling moisture content in spectral litter and to enhance the practical application of spectral detection.

    The optimization of stand spatial structure is a key issue in achieving sustainable forest management. Traditional optimization methods often exhibit low efficiency in handling complex spatial relationships and large-scale data. This study proposed a stand spatial structure optimization method based on Graph Attention Networks (GAT). An integrated spatial structure evaluation system was established using the entropy-weighted matter-element analysis method, and a graph neural network model was constructed based on stand data from the Tanglin Forest Farm of the Xinqing Forestry bureau in northern Yichun,Heilongjiang Province. The model was applied to perform multi-objective optimization analysis of stand spatial structure. Experimental results showed that at a 25% harvesting intensity, the integrated spatial structure index improved from 4.336 to 7.256. The GAT model demonstrated superior performance in capturing complex spatial relationships and optimizing multi-objective tasks. This study provides an innovative and intelligent approach for optimizing stand spatial structure and managing forests, contributing to the enhancement of forest ecosystem health and stability.

    Plant residues are an important source of forest soil carbon pool, and changes in soil carbon flux in woodland are closely related to soil carbon pool and carbon cycle. However, current studies on soil organic carbon stability mainly focus on farmland soil. In order to clarify the influence of exogenous carbon input changes on the stability of soil organic carbon, an indoor constant temperature culture experiment was set to study the litter species (Cherry, YH; Sycamore, WT; Poplar, YS), additive amount (0, 2%, 4% and 6%), particle size (2 mm, D; 0.25mm, X) as variables, 18 different treatments and 2 controls were concluded. The changes of soil CO2 release, soil organic carbon content and mineralization intensity under different factors and their interactions were analyzed. Results showed that different litters had significant effects on soil total CO2 release, and cherry blossom and poplar were more likely to promote soil total organic carbon mineralization. The highest total CO2 release rate was observed in YHX6 treatment, and the cumulative total CO2 release of YHD6 treatment was 4.37 times that of CK1. Compared with CK1, the potential mineralizable organic carbon C p value of 6% added dose was significantly increased. The dynamic changes of soil total organic carbon accumulation mineralization over time can be fitted by the first-order kinetic equation, and the fitting results showed that exogenous carbon input accelerated soil carbon turnover, while litters in small particle size, 6% addition amount and YH type yielded the highest total soil organic carbon turnover rate. WTX2 significantly decreased total organic carbon mineralization intensity, which was only 1.67%. Organic carbon intensity in soil with small particle size was lower than that of large particle size treatment. Therefore, sycamore leaves in small particle size and added with low addition amount can be applied to increase the stability of soil organic carbon and promote the retention of carbon in soil in regional soil organic carbon management.

    Fraxinus mandshurica is one of the precious broadleaf tree species in Northeast China. It has high economic and ecological value.There′s a shortage of F. mandshurica resources and a structural deficiency in resilient cultivars. It′s particularly important to select and breed F. mandshurica with excellent cold resistance in the context of global climate change. The F. mandshurica in Xiaoxing'an Mountains of Heilongjiang Province were selected as the reseach objects. Dendrochronology and wood anatomy were used to compare the radial growth of 52 F. mandshurica families(Families 1-77 in total). The relationship between the radial growth and xylem anatomical characteristics of F. mandshurica and main climatic factors was clarified. The response of F. mandshurica families to low temperature event was studied. The results showed that there were significant differences in average annual radial growth of F. mandshurica families in Xiaoxing'an Mountains. The radial growth of No. 56, 46 and 38 F. mandshurica families were higher, the values were 4.07 mm, 3.82 mm and 3.71 mm, respectively. The radial growth of F. mandshurica was constrained by temperature and precipitation during the growing season. The radial growth was significantly negatively correlated with the temperature in October of the previous year, positively correlated with the temperature from January to April, and negatively correlated with the precipitation from March to April. Temperature was the primary climatic factor affecting xylem anatomical features of F. mandshurica families in Xiaoxing'an Mountains. Under low temperature stress, the ring width(RW), mean vessel area (MVA), total vessel area(TVA) and theoretical hydraulic conductivity(Kh) decreased by 25.5%, 38.2%, 21.8% and 55.1%, compared with non-low temperature years, while vessel density(VD) increased by 64.1%. There was difference in radial growth among F. mandshurica families under low temperature stress. No. 39, 70 and 36 families had stronger resistance to cold, the values of resistance were greater than 1. The recovery of No. 57, 17 and 70families were better, the values of recovery were higher than 1.63. The No.70 F. mandshurica family in Xiaoxing'an Mountains had excellent growth and stronger cold resistance, which could be used as an excellent F. mandshurica family for directional cultivation.

    This study aims to clarify the spatial distribution characteristics of ridge plant belts on soil water-holding capacity and soil structure in sloping farmland, providing a scientific basis for optimizing ridge plant belt configurations and soil and water conservation measures in Northeast China's black soil region. Sloping farmland with ridge plant belts was selected as the research object (Ridge 1: ridge spacing of 12.5 m; Ridge 2: ridge spacing of 19.5 m), and sloping farmland was selected as the control. The uniform spatial point sampling method was obtained using basic physical property indicators in the surface layer (0-15 cm), and to quantify the differences in the spatial distribution characteristics of soil water-holding capacity and soil structure in sloping farmland with different spacing of ridge plant belts. The result showed that, the sloping farmland with ridge construction showed a significant increase in total porosity, capillary porosity, saturated water-holding capacity, field capacity, and capillary water-holding capacity, with a relatively uniform distribution across the slope. In addition, compared to the Ridge 2, the soil of Ridge 1 showed an increase of 0.96-1.11 times in total porosity, 1.21-1.31 times in capillary porosity, 1.03-1.25 times in saturated water-holding capacity, 1.22-1.78 times in field capacity, and 1.33-1.52 times in capillary water-holding capacity, respectively. The soil mechanical stable aggregate mass fraction, MWD (mean weight diameter), water-stable aggregate mass fraction, and GMD (geometric mean diameter) in the sloping farmland with ridge showed significant improvements across all fields. Compared to the controls, the sloping farmland with ridge increased by 1.01-1.15 times, 0.94-1.61 times, 1-1.17 times, and 1.05-1.55 times, respectively. This indicated that the sloping farmland with ridge effectively improved soil structure compared to the control. Moreover, compared to the sloping farmland with Ridge 2, the soil mechanical stable aggregate mass fraction, MWD, water-stable aggregate mass fraction, and GMD in the sloping farmland with Ridge 1 increased by 1.08-1.14 times, 0.95-1.28 times, 1.07-1.15 times, and 1.14-1.40 times, respectively. Constructing ridges can improve water-holding capacity and soil structure characteristics, with a more significant improvement effect observed in relatively small distances smaller distances between ridges.

    The Larix gmelinii forests is one of the most important forest types in Northeast China, playing a crucial role in maintaining the stability of the forest ecosystem in the region. The woody plants in the permanent plot of Larix gmelinii forests in Northeast China were taken as the research object. Through field plot investigation, diversity index and spatial structure characteristics calculation, combined with variance partitioning analysis and redundancy analysis, this study explored the characteristics and influencing factors of tree species diversity in Larix gmelinii forests. The results showed that the average tree species richness of Larix gmelinii forests was 10.75 in Northeast China, Simpson index was 0.72, Shannon-Wiener index was 1.69, and Pielou evenness index was 0.76. The average mingling intensity was 0.57, indicating that the forest stands were moderately mixed. The uniform angle index was 0.54, and the forest stands were clustered. The breast diameter dominance was 0.51, indicating that the forest growth was in a moderate state. The spatial structure characteristics of forest stands and geoclimatic conditions jointly explained 35.9% of the changes in tree species diversity, followed by spatial structure characteristics, with an explanatory rate of 29.2%. Simple term effects showed that spatial structure and geoclimatic indicators such as mingling intensity, latitude, annual mean temperature, and annual mean precipitation were the main influencing factors of tree species diversity changes. The research results will provide theoretical basis and data support for the formulation of management strategies for Larix gmelinii forests in Northeast China.

    The identification of dominant tree species is an important part of forestry resource surveys. Improving the accuracy of dominant tree species identification has significant practical implications for conducting forest resource surveys and related research. Using the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud platform, we obtained Sentinel-2 time series images for the Huodong mining area from January to December 2023. The annual growth trajectory features of dominant tree species were constructed based on the CCDC algorithm and the NDFI index. A dominant tree species hierarchical identification method combining "trajectory features + spectral features + texture features" of long-time series remote sensing images was proposed. A control group of "spectral features + texture features" was set up, and hierarchical classification and random forest classification algorithms were used to identify 7 dominant tree species (Pinus tabuliformisQuercus wutaishanseaBetula playphyllaLarix principis-rupprechtiiPlatycladus orientalisPopulus davidiana, and poplars spp.) in the Huodong mining area. The results showed that: 1) The NDFI index can effectively distinguish between deciduous forests and evergreen forests; 2) The dominant tree species identification based on "trajectory features + spectral features + texture features" performed well, with an overall classification accuracy of 79.6% and a Kappa coefficient of 0.742 in the study area, which was 7.3% higher than the control group.

    Rare and endangered plants have formed a stable association with their associated tree species in the long-term evolution process, but whether this association is related to allelopathy produced by litters is still unknown. Taking the unique rare and endangered plant Davidia involucrata Baill. and its associated species Cornus controversa Hemsl. in China as research objects, the allelopathic effects of water extracts from different types of litter (branch litter, leaf litter, and their mixture litter) at natural concentrations on each other's seedlings were studied. The results revealed that, 1)the water extract from the branch litter of C. controversa significantly promoted the basal diameter and root length growth of D. involucrata seedlings, and increased the contents of chlorophyll a and b, total chlorophyll, leaf mass fraction of N, and P, while the extracts from leaf litter and branch-leaf mixture litter did not show significant promotional effects. 2)The water extract from the branch litter of D. involucrata significantly promoted the basal diameter growth of C. controversa seedlings and increased the contents of chlorophyll a and b, and total chlorophyll, whereas the extracts from leaf litter and branch-leaf mixture litter significantly reduced the contents of chlorophyll a and b, total chlorophyll, leaf mass fraction of N. 3)The allelopathic effect index indicated that different litter types from C. controversa had allelopathic promotional effects on D. involucrata seedlings, the intensity from large to small was branch, branch-leaf mixture, and leaf; the allelopathic effects of different litter types from D. involucrata on C. controversa seedling were varied, showing promotion by branch litter, and inhibition by leaf litter and branch-leaf mixture litter, with the mixture litter exhibiting stronger inhibitory effects. These findings suggest that the water extracts from different types of litter from D. involucrata and C. controversa have distinct allelopathic effects on each other's seedling growth, and the extracts from the two types of branch litter exhibit the greatest allelopathic promotional effects on seedlings.

In this study, we analyzed the genetic variation patterns of tree height, diameter at breast height (DBD), volume of timber, straightness and other traits in 23 11-year-old Kazakhstani birch family lines and two Chinese birch family lines of the Mao'ershan seed source, which were planted in Daqing, Heilongjiang Province, Shangzhi, Heilongjiang Province, and Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, and fitted a mixed linear model with heteroscedasticity by using the software package R-language ASReml4.0. Best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) method was used to obtain the breeding values of each family line at different test locations, and combined with Genotype main effects and genotype × environment interaction (GGE) bisplot plots for comprehensive evaluation and selection of each participant and family line. In the mixed-effects model with location as a fixed effect, it was found that the environmental effects were significant among locations, and growth traits reached significant differences (P<0.05, (Z ratio)>1.5) among locations and among family lines within the same test site; family line No. 17 in the Daqing test site had the highest preservation rate and breeding value, and had better salt tolerance; the GGE biplot based on the BLUP method showed that the introduced birch fast-growing property of No.3 family line was the best, and the stability of No.9 family line was the strongest. Based on the comprehensive ranking of the stability and rapidity of each family line, four excellent family lines, No.20, 9, 7 and 24, were selected according to the 30% selection rate and combined with the genetic gain of the volume of each family line.

    The effects of ethephon (ETH), ethephon inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and cysteine (CYS) on the yield and main quality indexes of rubber tree latex were analyzed, and the dosage threshold was calculated. An optimized orthogonal experimental design was used to analyze 14 treatments with three factors (ETH, 1-MCP, CYS) and four levels (four concentrations of each reagent) for applying rubber tree cut surfaces. Key indicators such as rubber latex yield, dry rubber content, molecular weight, initial plasticity value, plasticity retention index and Mooney viscosity were measured, and the correlation between the indicators was analyzed. The results showed that there were significant differences in yield and dry rubber content of 14 treated rubber trees. Correlation analysis showed that the number-average molecular weight was positively correlated with the weight-average molecular weight and Mooney viscosity, and the correlation coefficient was 0.71 and 0.83, respectively, and the correlation coefficient was negative with the polydispersity indexes, and the correlation coefficient was -0.91. Initial plasticity value was positively correlated with Mooney viscosity, and the correlation coefficient was 0.73. The polydispersity indexes was negatively correlated with Mooney viscosity with the correlation coefficient -0.89. The regression equations based on dry rubber content index were established respectively. The maximum concentration of ethephon, 1-MCP and CYS were 0.15%, 1.08% and 0.41 g/L, respectively. The optimized orthogonal test method can effectively calculate the threshold of the regulator and provide theoretical and practical guidance for the subsequent experiments.

    Due to the decreasing supply of petroleum based plastics resources, the development of biomass resources has attracted extensive attention of researchers recently. The research on environmental friendly antibacterial packaging materials has increasingly become a new trend. Nanocellulose (CNC) derived from biomass has attracted particular attention. In recent years, nanocellulose has been widely used in packaging materials, medical fields, filter media and other fields. It is a good substrate, modifier and additive. Polylactic acid (PLA) is an environmentally friendly and renewable polymer, which can be widely used in the field of food packaging to replace petroleum based plastics. However, its high brittleness and poor antibacterial properties limit the application of PLA in the field of packaging. In this study, two kinds of polylactic acid/carvacrol/nanocelluluse-zinc oxide (PLA/CRV/CNC-ZnO) composite films with antibacterial effect were successfully prepared by solution casting and electrospinning. The effects of CRV and CNC-ZnO hybrid on the properties of the composite films were studied. At the same time, two kinds of composite films were applied to strawberry preservation experiment to explore their preservation effect on strawberry. The PLA/CRV20%/CNC-ZnO3% composite film prepared by solvent casting method and F-PLA/CRV20%/CNC-ZnO3% composite film prepared by electrospinning method were used to freshen strawberries in the same environment, and the fresh-keeping effect of strawberries was evaluated by sensory evaluation, weight loss rate and other tests, and the effects of packaging films prepared by different processes on the fresh-keeping effect of strawberries were compared and analyzed. The results showed that both casting film and spinning film had better preservation effect on strawberry, and the preservation effect of F-PLA/CRV20%/CNC-ZnO3% spinning film on strawberry was better than PLA/CRV20%/CNC-ZnO3% casting film, and the shelf life of strawberry was successfully extended to 10 days at 25 ℃. This study has a certain guiding role in expanding the application of PLA composite film in antibacterial food packaging.

    Under the background of new quality productivity, blockchain has brought new opportunities for transformation and upgrading of traditional industries with its transparency and traceability, and also opened up a new path for carbon emission reduction cooperation in wood supply chain. In view of this, this paper constructs an evolutionary game model of China-Russia wood supply chain, and studies the operating evolution law of the four parties-Russian wood suppliers, China wood processing manufacturers, wood products distribution retailers and the government in the carbon emission reduction cooperation mechanism under the blockchain platform. The results show that the initial strategy probability of supply chain members, consumers' low-carbon preference and the increase of manufacturers' carbon emission reduction can effectively encourage the main members of the wood supply chain to actively participate in the carbon emission reduction cooperation mechanism. At the same time, the government reward and punishment mechanism will also affect the final stable result of the game system. The greater the punishment for hitchhiking, the better the game system will reach the ideal state, while excessive subsidies will weaken the possibility of the system reaching the optimal equilibrium. The research results provide theoretical inspiration and reference for carbon emission reduction cooperation in China-Russia wood supply chain.

    In order to solve the problems of conventional radiative cooling devices limited by the theoretical cooling power limit of 150 W/m2 and by the inhibition of radiant power by low-temperature condensate on the radiant surface and the intrinsic water under high humidity conditions, an asymmetric functional structure design based on unidirectional liquid transport proposes a passively cooled wood (REW) with radiative refrigeration and evaporative cooling integrated in series. The wood is delignified by a sodium chlorite solution to enhance its hydrophilicity; then a hydrophobic silica/epoxy solution with high reflectivity and infrared emission properties is coated on the top of the hydrophilic wood to form a hydrophobic radiative cooling layer, while the hydrophilic wood at the bottom serves as an evaporative cooling layer. By virtue of the asymmetric wetting design with unidirectional water transport, low-temperature condensate can be spontaneously transported through the radiation-cooling layer to the evaporative-cooling layer for evaporative cooling, whereas the native water in the evaporative-cooling layer is unable to pass through the radiation-cooling layer to inhibit radiation. As a result, based on the tandem integration of radiant-evaporative cooling, the REW achieves a maximum cooling power of 214 W/m2 during daytime, and 172 W/m2 even at high humidity of 80%, which is more than 2.8 times higher than that of radiant cooling alone. The potential application of REW in energy-efficient cooling of buildings is demonstrated through building models, providing a universal optimisation strategy for expanding the practical application of passive cooling and new insights into the functional utilisation of wood resources.

    With the popularization of automated production lines, the pressing process of tea cakes has become particularly important for product quality. However, the quality control of Pu'er mini tea cakes produced by automated production lines often falls short of those made by hand. Therefore, the detection of the appearance quality of tea cakes after production by automated lines has become an urgent issue to be addressed. To this end, this study proposes an automated quality detection algorithm for Pu'er tea cakes based on machine vision. The algorithm comprehensively applies various image processing techniques, including Otsu threshold segmentation and Canny edge detection, and introduces multiple algorithm optimization strategies to improve detection accuracy and efficiency. The algorithm can automatically complete the detection and evaluation of the appearance quality of tea cakes and transmit the results in real-time to a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Experimental results show that the algorithm can accurately identify appearance defects of tea cakes, with an average computational accuracy of 95.75%, demonstrating high robustness and reliability. It is suitable for quality control in automated production lines and has a wide range of application prospects, especially in the intelligent transformation of the tea production industry, where it has significant reference value.

    In the customization process of passive wooden window manufacturing, reducing material waste during frame cutting is key to cost reduction. This problem is modeled as a one-dimensional cutting stock problem. To address the issue of traditional genetic algorithms where the individual encoding method tends to lead to the destruction of cutting patterns and low exploration efficiency during iterations, a new individual encoding method is proposed to maintain the integrity of cutting patterns throughout the evolutionary process. Additionally, a heuristic strategy and a correction strategy are introduced for individual correction and population evolution. Simulation results show that for different test cases, the average material utilization rate, excluding the last remnants, exceeds 99%, with some improvements in the length of the last remnants compared to other algorithms. For two sets of real production data from enterprises, the proposed algorithm achieves the theoretical lower bound, with average utilization rates (excluding the last remnants) of 99.49% and 99.66%, respectively, outperforming the results of the company's existing software. This demonstrates the algorithm's potential to effectively reduce costs and provide practical solutions in engineering applications.

    Soluble solids content (SSC) is a key indicator for assessing the internal quality of fruits. This study proposes a non-destructive detection method based on hyperspectral image fusion to predict the SSC of blueberries. Three widely used wavelength dimensionality reduction algorithms are employed: Monte Carlo uninformative variable elimination (MC-UVE), Competitive Adaptive Reweighted Sampling (CARS), and Successive Projections Algorithm (SPA), to identify optimal wavelengths. Additionally, a strategy integrating Local Binary Patterns (LBP) and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) is proposed for feature extraction. Using spectral features, image features, and fused features, Partial Least Squares (PLS), Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) models are developed for SSC prediction. The results demonstrate that the BPNN model, utilizing spectral features extracted via the CARS algorithm and image features derived from the LBP+GLCM algorithm, yields the highest prediction accuracy. The model's coefficient of determination (R p 2) is 0.926 1, while the Root Mean Square Error of Prediction (RMSEP) is 0.364 1. This study indicates that hyperspectral image fusion technology holds significant potential for the non-destructive prediction of blueberry SSC.

    Microwave curing technology of concrete can significantly improve the early strength of concrete, but there is no uniform design standard for microwave curing method, resulting in great differences in material properties after curing. To explore the influence of microwave curing methods, this study employed the response surface methodology to systematically analyze the influence of microwave curing method on the compressive strength of cement mortar. The relationship model between key microwave curing parameters and material properties was established, and the optimal microwave curing method was determined when the heating temperature was under 40℃ and the heating power was 1 000 W for 30 min. Chemical components and microstructure impacts were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), and scanning electron microscope (SEM), and it was revealed that a reasonable microwave curing method can promote the hydration degree of mortar and form a denser structure. The temperature variation in microwave curing process was analyzed by combining experimental data and computer simulation, and it was found that microwave curing temperature had hot spot effect. It is concluded that microwave curing temperature is the most important factor affecting the strength of mortar.

    To predict and control the frost heave behavior of surrounding rock in freezing construction, based on the theory of accumulated deformation energy in elastoplastic materials with expansion tendencies, this study analyzed that frozen soil with expansion tendencies under constraints possessed such deformation energy, which manifested as frost heave stress and frost heave strain when the constraints were insufficient or released. Therefore, this paper proposed the concept and expression of frost heave potential on the basis of the theory of elastic deformation energy. This concept, with frost heave stress and frost heave strain functions as parameters, represented the deformation energy accumulated in the soil due to freezing of the surrounding rock. Based on this, a series of frost heave tests were conducted on silty clay along a subway line. Calculations yielded frost heave stress and frost heave strain at different temperatures. When the freezing temperature was -10 ℃, the frost heave stress, frost heave strain, and frost heave rate were 0.338 MPa, 0.446%, and 3.13%, respectively. The calculated results were in good agreement with the actual engineering requirements. Frost heave potential can be used to describe the overall frost heave behavior of rock and soil masses and provides a new perspective and approach for enriching and developing frozen soil theory and freezing method technology.

    The dynamic response characteristics of the initial support under blasting will affect the construction safety and schedule. In order to study the dynamic response characteristics of tunnel initial support under different factors, combined with the tunnel blasting project of forest farm, the vibration velocity and stress distribution laws of tunnel initial support under the influence of age, footage length and detonation time interval were analyzed by combining field monitoring and numerical simulation, and Morris screening method was introduced to analyze the influence degree of each factor. The results show that the peak vibration velocity of the initial support presents Vy >Vz >Vx rule under different penetration length, age and detonation time interval, and the tensile stress is much larger than the shear stress. The vibration velocity and stress of the initial support change sharply during the age of 1-3 d, and gradually tend to be flat after 7 days, the attenuation rate of the x-axis is the largest, followed by the z-axis, and the y-axis is the smallest. With the increase of footage length, the growth rate of particle vibration velocity presents a rule of the y-axis is the largest, followed by the x-axis and the z-axis. When the detonation time interval is 5ms, the stress waves cancel each other and the vibration velocity decreases. The degree of influence of the three factors on the dynamic response characteristics of structural blasting is in the order of footage length, age, and blasting interval. The research results can provide reference for similar tunnel blasting projects.

    The failure of structures or components in permafrost caused by foundation diseases poses a certain threat to the ecological security of forest region. Based on field investigations of foundations of power foundations along the section Jagdaqi-Mo'he of Beijing-Mo'he national highway and China-Russia crude oil pipelines (CRCOPs) near the forest region in permafrost in Northeastern China, the main distress characteristics and countermeasures of the foundations were analyzed and summarized, and improved countermeasures were proposed. The results from field surveys showed that transmission line towers foundations suffered from frost jacking accounted for 18.1%, including uniform frost jacking (8.5%) and nonuniform frost jacking (9.6%), while foundations with thaw settlement occupied only 3.7%. Fissures (2.7%), spalling (2.7%), cracks (4.3%), erosion (5.9%), tilt (3.7%), and fracture (0.5%) occurred on the concrete foundation surface. The influences of nonuniform frost jacking and tilting had great influence on the safety of the tower. The concrete protective caps were more severely damaged by frost action, exhibiting fissures (15.4%), spalling (8.5%), cracks (15.4%), and erosion (58%). Similarly, the tilting and collapse of utility poles were primarily caused by frost jacking and crack. Based on the above damages, it is suggested to build long-term monitoring systems for tracking the structures in permafrost regions, improve and optimize the existing mitigative measures. The findings provide some references for the design, construction, and damage prevention of infrastructures in permafrost regions, aiming to mitigate the impact of engineering on the ecological environment of natural forest region.
