Subtropical broad-leaved forests in southeastern China support a high diversity of woody plants. Using comparative study design with 30 × m plots (n = 27) from five successional stages (<20, <40, <60, <80, and ≥80 yr), we investigated how the gradient species composition reflects underlying processes community assembly. In particular, tested whether richness adult trees shrubs decreased or increased assessed to which degree this pattern was caused by negative density dependence continuous...
Although microbial decomposition of plant litter plays a crucial role in nutrient cycling and soil fertility, we know less about likely links specific traits decomposition, especially relation to climate change. We study here wheat straw under ambient manipulated conditions simulating future scenario (next 80 years) agroecosystems, including decay rates, macronutrient dynamics, enzyme activity, communities. show that will accelerate rates only during the early phase process. Additionally,...
Meromictic lakes located in landlocked steppes of central Asia (~2500 km inland) have unique geophysiochemical characteristics compared to other meromictic lakes. To characterize their bacteria and elucidate relationships between those surrounding environments, water samples were collected from three saline (Lakes Shira, Shunet Oigon) the border Siberia West Mongolia, near center Asia. Based on in-depth tag pyrosequencing, bacterial communities highly variable dissimilar among oxic anoxic...
Rare earth ion luminescent materials have attracted extensive attention due to their wide applications in biochemical sensing and bioimaging. However, the low quantum yield weak luminescence intensity restricted further development. Realizing modulation of rare-earth ions' emission behavior has become a hot topic interdisciplinary fields chemometrics. Herein, regulation electron decay process photon signals rare (Eu3+) been achieved well-defined plasmonic nanocavity. This nanocavity consists...
Mangrove forest trees play important ecological functions at the interface between terrestrial and marine ecosystems. However, despite playing crucial roles in plant health productivity, there is little information on microbiomes of tree species mangrove Thus, this study we aimed to characterize microbiome soil (rhizosphere) (root, stem, leaf endosphere) compartments widely distributed Rhizophora stylosa. Surprisingly, bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were only confidently...
Reasonable zoning is essential for maintaining the integrity and stability of natural ecosystems achieving multi-goal management national parks, can facilitate efficient protection various resources. Biocultural diversity an important result outstanding representation human-land relationship, directly affecting resilience socio-ecological systems. Taking Kunlun Mountains National Park in Qinghai Province (KMNP) as example, we transformed dualistic conservation model biology culture, Coupling...
Abstract Despite the importance of wood-inhabiting fungi on nutrient cycling and ecosystem functions, their ecology, especially related to community assembly, is still highly unexplored. In this study, we analyzed fungal richness, composition, phylogenetics using PacBio sequencing. Opposite what has been expected that deterministic processes environmental filtering through wood-physicochemical properties controls assembly communities, here showed both stochastic can contribute in tropical...
The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) is a central issue in soil microbial ecology. To date, most belowground BEF studies focus on the diversity of microbes analyzed by barcoding total DNA, which targets both active inactive microbes. This approach creates bias as it mixes part microbiome currently steering processes that provide actual functions with not directly involved. Using experimental extensive grasslands under current future climate, we used...
Short-read Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms can easily and quickly generate thousands to hundreds of sequences per sample. However, the limited length these cause problems during fungal taxonomic identification. Here we validate use Pacbio sequencing, a long-read NGS method, for characterizing community (mycobiome) Castanopsis carlesii deadwood. We report successful sequencing full-length (500 – 780 bp) ITS regions mycobiome. Our results show that studied deadwood mycobiome is...
Deadwood-inhabiting bacteria and fungi were crucial in understanding ecosystem functioning carbon turnover. The objectives of this study to investigate microbial succession deadwood analyze bacterial-fungal ratio, composition, diversity various tree species; it explored fungal traits during decomposition uncovered unique networks; thinning effects on composition over three years the roles nitrogen cycle energy metabolism assessed; analysis included carbohydrate-active enzyme gene families,...
Several studies have identified correlations between cancer and increased risks of ischemic stroke (IS), particularly following radiotherapy (RT) or chemotherapy (CT). However, data regarding relative IS in oral are limited. The aim this study was to compare hazard ratios (HR) among patients treated with without RT, CT, both (CCRT).We analyzed collected by the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) from 1996 2009, which covered approximately 99.5% medical claims submitted...
Microorganisms are critical to maintaining stratified biogeochemical characteristics in meromictic lakes; however, their community composition and potential roles nutrient cycling not thoroughly described. Both metagenomics metaviromics were used determine the capacity of archaea, bacteria, viruses along water column landlocked Lake Shunet Siberia. Deep sequencing 265 Gb high-quality assembly revealed a near-complete genome corresponding Nonlabens sp sh3vir. viral sample 38 bacterial bins...
Even though it is widely acknowledged that litter decomposition can be impacted by climate change, the functional roles of microbes involved in and their answer to change are less understood. This study used a field experimental facility settled Central Germany analyze effects ambient vs. future expected 50-80 years on mass loss physicochemical parameters wheat agricultural cropland at early phase process. Additionally, were assessed microbial richness, community compositions, interactions,...
Meromictic lakes usually harbour certain prevailing anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria in their anoxic zone, such as the purple sulfur bacterium (PSB)
Recent studies suggested the presence of magma chambers from Tatun volcano group under northern Taiwan's surface, result episodic volcanism for 0.2-2.8 million years. However, microbial community in volcanic soil has not yet been characterized. Therefore, present study investigated spatial distribution communities and their relationships with environmental variables, including heavy metals. Next-generation sequencing was used to analyze structures three areas different land uses:...
The increasing demand for agricultural land is driving deforestation, which contributes to rising greenhouse gas emissions—a primary driver of climate change. Agroforestry systems present a valuable alternative approach mitigating these emissions. This study investigates the influence various agroforestry on key parameters assessing soil carbon dynamics, including stock, microbial biomass (MBC), and respiration (MR) in northern Thailand. compared different systems: coffee monoculture (CA),...
