Overall, the annual carbon sink of total existing arbor forest presented a decreasing trend, as shown in Figure 3 .

Scientists are also optimistic about the future carbon sequestration of China’s forests, and generally believe that it will continue to exhibit an increasing trend in the following years [ 24 ].

In addition, semantic network analysis indicates a clear trend associated with emotion (negative emotions had their highest scores in mid-to-late March, when the WHO announced the pandemic status of COVID-19) [ 20 ].

Positive autocorrelation increases the probability of type I error, namely detecting a significant trend despite one not being present [ 61 ].

Emissions of most key sectors in Fujian, Jiangsu, Sichuan, and Tianjin have been decoupled from industrial development, however without showing a clear trend towards peaking.

A decreasing trend in psychological inflexibility, perceived stress, psychological distress, and suppression of private events were observed in participants’ average total scale and subscale scores before and after the protocol implementation.

Provinces with a more developed forestry industry tend to have rich forest resources [ 80 ], and the forestry output value in this region usually shows a trend of increasing with the increase in forest resources [ 3 ], and the forest carbon sinks in this region also show an increasing trend.

However, since a borderline significant effect modification was shown for maternal education, we stratified the analyses by education (low vs. high).

As a result of estimating the socioeconomic cost of drinking, the social burden was greater than that of smoking and obesity, and an increasing trend was confirmed in the mid-2010s [ 5 ].

The habitat quality in this area, such as Huaxi District and Xiuwen County, maintained a favorable trend due to the regional land nature.

[ 11 ] found that the coordination between urbanization and industrialization at the provincial level showed a trend of deterioration before improvement, and the time node of improvement is around 2005.

According to the simulation results ( Figure 13 ), the area of cultivated land in the study area decreased rapidly during the period of 2015–2035, whereas the construction land showed an increasing trend, and other land types did not change considerably.

Since 1980, farmlands in the Zhengzhou metropolitan area have shown a decreasing trend.

Social Isolation A highly significant consequence of IPVAW survivors’ isolation is the loss of social support that normally comes through discussions with friends, people at work, or members of faith communities or civic groups such as women’s groups.

Similarly, demand for the suicide prevention helpline in the Netherlands decreased within the first months of the pandemic and started an increasing trend approximately four months after the first case in the country [ 12 ].

Although the interannual trend showed that the overall trend of rainfall was decreasing, this was due to the significant decrease in 2019, while both rainfall and GPP showed a decreasing trend in 2010–2015 and an increasing trend in 2015–2020 ( Figure 5 a).

The difference in the normal frequency of sexual activity was of marginal significance by education status ( p for interaction = 0.062) and was found to be influenced by family income status ( p for interaction = 0.017, Table 3 ).

With the effect of different levels of traffic volume, the three survival function curves by traffic volume all showed a decreasing trend in the pedestrian survival rate.

[ 50 ] reported a decreasing trend in PF levels and health status in the young generation.

They observed a decreasing trend, probably due to three factors: a reduction in crime, a decrease in the activity of the justice system and the release of inmates as a preventive measure [ 25 ].

The increase in the pollutant treatment upgrade scenario was about seven times greater, with a clear trend of carbon increase.

In 2018, the production level of Inner Mongolia in the northern part of the basin and Sichuan in the southwest improved further, while the development of the production function of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Ningxia in the middle reaches of the basin remained stagnant, forming a decreasing trend from the eastern and northern parts of the basin to the central and western parts.

(3) Results: no significant differences were found at baseline in maternal characteristics; nevertheless, certain outcomes showed a favorable trend towards the IG.

During 2010–2020, a balance between maintenance and conversion was reached between cultivated land and forest and grassland, although the area of cultivated land showed a decreasing trend as it continued to be converted into construction land, but the area of construction land decreased by 10.64% when compared to the previous period.

The positive carbon flow showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing from 1990 to 2020, but it still increased significantly overall.
