abstract
In this article we show that for every finite area hyperbolic surface $X$ of type $(g,n)$ and any harmonic Beltrami differential $\mu$ on $X$, then the magnitude of $\mu$ at any point of small injectivity radius is uniform bounded from above by the ratio of the Weil-Petersson norm of $\mu$ over the square root of the systole of $X$ up to a uniform positive constant multiplication. We apply the uniform bound above to show that the Weil-Petersson Ricci curvature, restricted at any hyperbolic surface of short systole in the moduli space, is uniformly bounded from below by the negative reciprocal of the systole up to a uniform positive constant multiplication. As an application, we show that the average total Weil-Petersson scalar curvature over the moduli space is uniformly comparable to $-g$ as the genus $g$ goes to infinity.

The vanishing rate of Weil-Petersson sectional curvatures
The Weil-Petersson sectional curvature on moduli space is bounded above by a negative constant times the seventh power of the product of small geodesic lengths, with examples indicating the optimal exponent is three.
