-NC-ND 1 Introduction The brown hare ( Lepus europaeus Pallas, 1778) is a common wildlife species, representing both a target of hunting activity ( Hacklander and Schai-Braun, 2019 ) and an important species of conservation concern in Europe, where it is classified by the IUCN as least concern with a decreasing trend ( Hacklander and Schai-Braun, 2019 ) since the reduction of its populations in many countries ( Smith et al., 2005 ; Pavliska et al., 2018 ).

Subsequently, the reducing sugar is consumed by alcohol-producing yeasts, molds, lactic acid bacteria to produce metabolites such as alcohol and lactic acid, and so on, resulting in a decreasing trend of reducing sugar content.

When the steel fiber admixture is 2%, with the increase in recycled aggregate replacement rate, the concrete absorbs more free water during mixing and freeze–thaw cycles, making its mechanical property indexes show a decreasing trend.

A decreasing trend with depth was noted with the highest number of predicted lipid biosynthesis and polysaccharide degradation pathways in the surface waters.

Analysis on the burden and trends of SHF Globally, the ASIR of SHF was 4.05 in 2019, and presented a decreasing trend from 1990 to 2019 (EAPC = −0.68, 95% CI: −0.83 to −0.54).

Recent reports suggested that in 2016, there were still about 408,000 new cases and 195,600 deaths of CRC in China, ranking third and fourth in incidence and death spectrum, respectively ( 2 ), even though incidence and mortality rate of CRC in China showed a decreasing trend during 2005–2015 ( 3 ).
