Abstract Coastal blue carbon ecosystems, particularly mangroves, are becoming increasingly recognised for their importance in mitigating climate change. Still, the specific patterns and drivers of plant lignin components microbial necromass accumulation these ecosystems unclear. In response, we carried out a study along 40‐year mangrove restoration chronosequence, measuring phenol amino sugar concentrations soil profiles (0–100 cm) as indicators plant‐based microbial‐derived residues,...
The 2022 mpox outbreak led the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare it a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). There is need develop more effective and safer virus (MPXV)-specific vaccines in response epidemic. mRNA vaccine promising platform protect against MPXV infection. In this study, we construct two bivalent vaccines, designated LBA (B6R-A29L) LAM (A35R-M1R), quadrivalent vaccine, LBAAM (B6R-A35R-A29L-M1R). immunogenicity protective efficacy these alone or...
Assessing the long-term efficacy of MPXV vaccine candidates is crucial for global response to ongoing mpox epidemic. Built upon our previous study quadrivalent mRNA vaccine, herein we reported that MPXV-1103 could elicit sustained humoral and cellular immunity in mice, including induction A35/B6/A29/M1-specific IgG antibodies, VACV neutralizing antibodies activated cytotoxic CD8+T cells, which provides 100% protection against lethal challenge even at 280 days after first vaccination. Our...
Mangroves can retain both autochthonous and allochthonous marine and/or terrestrial organic carbon (OC) in sediments. Accurate quantification of these OC sources is essential for the proper allocation blue C credits. Here, we conduct a global-scale analysis sediments contributions estuarine mangroves using stable isotopes. Globally, mangrove-derived was main contributor to mangrove top-meter soil (SOC) (49% 62%, respectively). Less (21%) deposited than (30%) Estuarine accumulated more SOC...
Saltmarshes are important global carbon (C) sinks, but the considerable uncertainty in C budget and underlying mechanisms limit estimation of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG, e.g., CO2 CH4) context climate change. To ascertain mechanistic understanding, we assessed how crab burrows morphology effluxes changed response to interactions fiddler burrow density, soil organic matter content (high vs low), presence/absence Spartina alterniflora (vegetated saltmarsh nearby unvegetated mudflat) on...
Abstract Saltmarsh is a major contributor to global blue carbon (C) sink. However, plant invasion and anthropic activities have greatly altered its distribution C function in the last decades. We used remote sensing data synthesis investigate how four decades of land reclamation affect spatiotemporal variation Yancheng saltmarshes, largest coastal ecosystem eastern China. revealed that exotic cordgrass, Spartina alterniflora , increased regional storage, mainly by seaward expansion cordgrass...
Mangrove loss has reduced its carbon (C) sink function and ecosystem services. To effectively allocate climate finance for mangrove restoration, a thorough assessment of restoration potential is necessary. Here we show net service value (ESV) 29.2 billion USD ($) due to land changes in mangroves from 1996 2019. The estimated ESV 2019 amounts $894 yr-1, mainly provided by regulating provisioning services (57.4% 19.7%). Over the next two decades, project that would necessitate an investment...
The stability of soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a vital role in C sequestration, and largely depends on the availability nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P). Understanding how different fractions SOC respond to N P underlying microbial mechanism is crucial for mitigating climate changes. Here, we assessed modifies communities tropical forest. We measured chemical properties, fractions, PLFA abundance, fungal rDNA its predicted gene extracellular enzyme activities within field addition experiment....
Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition is a pervasive anthropogenic change that can alter the dynamics and storage of carbon (C) in tropical soils by altering transformation plant litter C to soil organic (SOC). The response fungi may be particularly important for explaining how N affects SOC forests because they are primary decomposers litter. Fungi grouped into different ecological guilds, or functional groups, which often have contrasting responses same environmental change. However, little...
ABSTRACT The outbreak of clade II monkeypox virus (MPXV) and the additional in Central Africa I from 2023 have attracted worldwide attention. development a scalable effective vaccine against ongoing epidemic mpox is urgently needed. We previously constructed two bivalent MPXV mRNA vaccines, LBA (B6R‐A29L) LAM (A35R‐M1R), quadrivalent vaccine, LBAAM (B6R‐A35R‐A29L‐M1R). These vaccines at 20 µg dose could induce potential antigen‐specific immune responses provide protection lethal VACV...
Tropical forest soils have a high carbon (C) storage and sequestration potential, their structural functional complexity indicates that even small changes in soil organic (SOC) might affect global C cycling. Precipitation patterns the tropics of southern China are predicted to increase rainfall wet season delay into autumn. To explore how cycles respond changing precipitation pattern, we established manipulation experiment through water exclusion or addition. We assessed physicochemical...
